        Didn't Ron make some raather good corrugated iron for a roof? It was on this forum. He's very good at making fantastic bits for dioramas very inexpensively. I'm sure he'll be along.

        Cheers

                if you cannot make it, then you can buy it here Form-U-Lay - Vacuum-Formed Moulds for Modelers

                  T'was not I, but yes, our friend Graham (Fenlander) who first showed us how to make this stuff......I've used his method quite a lot and it works great.

                  I find baking foil works best....Anything thicker and it is difficult to get the foil to conform with the cocktail sticks.

                  By the way, what has happened to Graham? He came back to us fairly recently, but has now disappeared again.

                  John, do you know anything?
