Corrugated Iron (Container WIP)

[Sangennaru]

Hi!

recently i stumbled on this wonderful (and very simple) tutorial on Triplozero.

It's in italian, but it worth a google-translation for shure!
http://www.triplozero.com/joomla/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=4789


Inspired by this, i wanted to improve the technique a little bit, and that's my results!

I used some thinner styrene rods, in order to have a more realistic corrugated iron


With other shapes of rods and planks, i obtained those surfaces. Good for container's walls or a modern tin roof!


I'm askin' the permission to make a proper tutorial, with more shapes and consideration about those shapes. Just take a look on that forum, is simply amazing!

Cheers
Jack

Now that is just what I had been looking for.... 

Could you post pics of the jigs you used for the container wall sheet?

[Sangennaru]

Thanks Mod!

i will, when my camera will turn back to life! =)

[Sangennaru]

Guess what those pre-moulds are for...





Actually, those pieces are NOT meant to be casted, it is just a middle step for the sculpting!

Interesting stuff indeed!
What's that material you're shaping? Looks like extremely thin sheets of copper...?

Great idea.

Where do you buy this metallic sheet and what is the correct name for it ?

[Sangennaru]

Thanks! =) The sheet is a thin copper panel, you can find it in any craft - art shop, it is used for art bumped drawings, so it's pretty comon to find! =)

The basic idea is from TriploZero, now i've made some more jigs to obtain different shapes. A container is gonna be sculpted from those panels. =)

Cheers

[YIU]

Thanks. The container is very clever idea.

[Sangennaru]

Some news: i've made the moudls, now the corrugated panels are ready.

Gonna work on them to make a proper container. Hope to keep the quality high! =)




I printed it many times to choose the best pieces for the actual mould! And i will have to make the piece more than one time (cuz i'm just experiencing), so... many pieces are better than one!!
cheers

Those are great. I'm looking forward to seeing more.

here's more, where i've come so far. Due to a little flue i'm stuck in Milan, so i sculpted a little more:




Still missing the most detailed sides (the doors and the base), plus some detailing on the metal parts.


cheers,
Jack

SWEET!!!

[Raxxus]

looks cool:)
will u sell it after u cast it?

[Sangennaru]

I will for shure. There's a company interested at the moment, i'll see what we will decide. Otherwise, i'm gonna sell it from my own!

[Luckyjoe]

Very nice. I'll be watching for more of these.
