Coroplast scale buildings

[Supermario]

Next up on the build list...... One of these.

Ok, not quite like the reference pic but hey, not bad for a one nighter build.
Only had red pin striping, not sure if I'm going to paint the roof grey or leave it white? just needs stairs and lights and another one done!

My 8'X20' job site trailer....

I'm on a roll! Don't stop me now!

Another great idea Reg ! Guess I have to make another one for cargo and incorporate some lift points for the crane..

never thought of that when I made this one with a 3ft skirting. Oh well, more the merrier.


Painted the roof and I think looks better than white. Made some steps tonight. Was trying to think of what to use for round hand railings when suddenly remembered something I got at the dollar store awhile back.
Just needs a coat of paint and should look good.....from 20ft away.

Final update on the worksite trailer. That's it for awhile, 4 buildings in the last 2 months time to get back to work on maintenance and upgrades on the trucks and equipment before spring arrives!

Thanks Frizzen. ATCO makes all kinds of sizes but I was limited to the 4ft width of a sheet ( wanted the ribs to be vertical and all one piece) but still created a scale size. It measures out to 7" wide , 17" long and 9.5" tall. So , about 8' X 20' X 11'.

i just had an idea tonight for making another look to my future scale buildings and it works so well I just had to share!

Using nothing but a light diffuser from a fluorescent light fixture I trimmed the ribs to make a brick pattern, layed on top the Coroplast and sprayed.

Here's what the very first test pieces look like. So easy and can use same template over and over. . This kinda puts me back in a building mood.

[TRUCKMAKER]

Alice and I have been out of school for a long time!

[Supermario]

Such a teenage lament.

[TRUCKMAKER]

Yeah you know, when your eighteen

[Supermario]

No pain , no gain..... Making myself a nice large template for the brick look template.Time spent now will pay for many paint jobs going forward.
I'm going cross eyed cutting and looking at it but getting there.
