Title: Cheap, easy & realistic corrugated metal shanty town 20-28 mm
Post by: Umpapa on December 21, 2017, 08:45:51 PM
Today I would like to present to you how to cheaply, quickly and spectacularly fill the wargaming battlefield for the years AD 1850 – 40 000.

Slums made of corrugated metal. Literally of REAL aluminum corrugated metal. Water and fireproof. Durable. Ecologic. No spray, no lacquer. Zero skill needed.

Brilliant shanties!

What's the mangle??

The corrugation looks ok, possibly a little wide but perfectly fine. 8)

Cheers

Looks good.

They are available from Art shops - tube squeezer (or ebay)

I tried one but I wanted smaller corrugations.

fireproof.

Gotta stop you there, aluminium burns great once it's hot enough.  :D

I suppose so. Still more fire resistant than paper. ;)

Thank You very much. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
