Hi, This is not exactly a building yet, just two walls to see how it looks. The walls are corrugated cardboard. Paul
I'll agree. Modern prefab metal, and concrete tip-ups, just don't have the eye appeal of older structures. But they are functional. And cost-effective. Good idea to use a mock-up for determining what will work in a specific location. Boxcab E50
Paul, That looks great! Did you get the cardboard like that or did you modify it? I have seen it sandwiched between 2 layers of thinner cardboard but wondered how you would separate them? Certainly looks like a pre-fab concrete warehouse to me......neat! You are a master at making modeling on the cheap, look like a million!!! 2slim
2slim, this cardboard came as scrap in a box to separate 3 items included in the box. I did not have to peal off one side like you should if you have the regular sandwiched corrugated cardboard. I think I was just lucky to get them and I have enough to experiment and build three modern warehouses. About pealing of one side of very thin cardboard, maybe you should wet one side with a sponge, wait a few seconds, and try to peal it of on that side. I don't know if this works but maybe it will. I'll try it myself soon. Paul
Here's a tip, I use the corrugated cardboard that is on the inside of a lightbulb package! Mostly it is too big for N scale, but if you can find small bulbs, the corrugation is usually suitable. I'm not a nitpicker, so I use what I get. Sometimes the larger corrugation looks just as good.
