CORRUGATED STEEL SHEET (CSS)- various scales

The photograph shows the realistic effect which can be obtained by using corrugated steel sheet of scale size and thickness. The guy on the left is painting the original fence whilst his colleague is installing new panels. The rusty shed was built entirely from corrugated sheets and soldered together, using an acid flux. Soon afterwards, it was noticed that rust was beginning to appear on the sheets (an effect of the evaporation of the flux). Some hours later, the shed had rusted completely, with a most pleasing effect. On this gauge 0 diorama the "new" sheets were given a coat of clear varnish to preserve their shiny finish.
