Hi there,
I have found it time to consult the oracle that is this forum.
MY question is where can i get 1/35 corrugated iron sheets from?. I have searched alot of the main online shops and have failed to find any.
However if you have a method for making it this would be even better as I will need quite a bit.
I wnat to build a row of terraced houses that are all boarded up, I have a photo of germans going through a captured town prising tin from windows to gain access to search for trapped soldiers or Jews but i will probaly go for the first scenario.
Many thanks
Robbo

Try cardboard boxes from which you peel off the exterior layer.
It is soft enough so you can tear it to give it a very worn out look.
And it easy to weather too.
Hope this helps,

I've used heavy Aluminum foil to make sheet metal roofing. Check out my gallery for T2K 2005. I did it by placing the aluminum foil on some foam and used a dull edge blade and applied a light pressure as I drew the lines for the ridges.

Try your local craft store, they probably have ample supply of corrugated cardboards. Those cardboards have diffent sizes of corrugation...I think you could used them...

Check your local pizza shop. Mine has these great 12' x 12' sheets of single corregated cardboard that is perfect for the job. I got about 25 sheets of it for a quarter.
