Corrugated styrene?
« on: 15 December 2013, 12:59:53 PM »
Hi there!

I've a corrugated sheet from Antenocity, and now that i've started a 15mm scifi project i started using it for my shanti buildings with very cool results. My only problem - it's only one.

Apparently, i couldn't find the right size anymore: it should be a "Slater" sheet, but the pattern is very small:


can you address me to the right product (or maybe another similar one)?

thanks in advance,
Jack

Yep, that's the one i found online. However, i don't know what that 4mm means. The distance between two "bumps" is around 1.2 mm not four! :(

My missus makes greetings cards as a hobby and has a little machine that puts corrugations into paper, card and very thin plastic. It looks a bit like a pasta maker, with a wee handle on the side.

To be honest I'm not very savvy on the 4mm and 7mm thing other than they pretty much represent railway modelling scales. 4mm is HO/OO and 7mm is O gauge. I use 7mm for my 28mm Victorian builds. Slaters are very good with communication and have helped me out in the past, maybe its worth dropping them a line?

I bought something similar at my local Hobby Lobby. Works great on heavy paper stock.

Shanty roofs were done using the crimper.
