very nice! How do you do the corrugated iron?

Hi, The corrugated iron is the inexpensive cartonboard you can buy in hobby stores, not the expensive plastic corrugated iron sheets.

The pieces are then painted and drybrushed with an off white/ sandy color to represent dust.

They seem easy to make but are quite labor intensive as you first need to make a foamboard core and then you need to measure and cut every piece of corrugated cartonboard and they aren't straight as it's a slum your making so no mass-production.

I hope this answers your question, if not please feel free to ask certain aspects. Cheers

thanks for the tips. I haven't seen that board here in the UK, but maybe its available somewhere so I'll have a look on google! It looks very effective.
