			for the siding you can make your own if you have a lathe  
i used to make the dies for domed silver wire out of steel  
but with thin alumium you could maybe use alumium round stock  
anyway   make a cylinder about two to three inches in diameter  your choice  
cut them both the same length   IE  i use some 2" stock and cut it four inches long and drill a hole clear though them both but with one hole smaller  
now you need to draw up what the finished siding would look like from a end  
IE ^^^^^^^^   but in your scale     lol  then chuck up one roller and make a positive  
that is the one that has the raised bumps on it   just go slow and check and recheck it  
when its done do the other roller but i negative   and this one is harder as it needs to be  
as close as it can to fit  
now make a frame and mount them so the top one adjusts up and down  
put the rollers on axles and make the top one turn with a crank  
 
i know i know it seems like a lot of work but if you just sit and think about it   and you are handy it will click  
or if you have a mill you can cut two plates and use a arbor press  
 
sold and/or gave most of that stuff away when we moved down to Florida so i can't show pictures but will look on the inter-net
