Thanks Joe. Corrugated roofing sheets in some track wash, just to give a worn rusty look.

The wheel off, leaning up the wall, adds to the story of abandonment. Mind you I would have claimed it as an inspired decision rather than an unfortunate happening
Looking very good.

Maybe I should have done that Jim.

Today's task, making corrugated roofing sheets.
Using a large aluminum container, cut and rolled, then pushed into a flat sheet.



Then, using my moulding set.

Of course a little longer than normal 1/35.
Then using burnishing fluid by Ammo, A. mig2020 , being careful as to the length of time in the liquid, we have this. Washed in cold water and allowed to dry.




John.

Yesterday and just now, this is where I've got to.




John. I can see loads of errors- those moulding marks inside the mud guards for one, and some of the tyres need more soil on them. Oh well, I'll leave it at that.
