Is the paper creek corrugated roofing just flat and printed or does it have real corrugations? Stan Knotts ... From: finescaleminiatures@yahoogroups.com ...
When I used Campbell's corrugated siding, I used to put it in some Archer Etchant for a while, taking it out after it fizzled a bit, which gave me some really...
Would someone describe what you perceive as 'Campbell's corrugated siding'. I am accustomed to an embossed foil adhered to a paper background that accompanied...
Keevan, I don't ever recall Campbell corrugated siding as you describe it and I am really old (grin) - what I have seen (and used) is a real metal corrugated...
I am assuming the Campbell's every one is talking about is the metal siding one buys in packets, I am not familiar with self adhesive, didn't even know it...
Well Tony - I guess I have seen that at shows and on some layouts but it looks flat to me when close up, but I guess it is an easy solution. Sort of a modern...
Go to photos and look for my Swakhammers model, or click here if it works. http://ph.groups.yahoo.com/group/finescaleminiatures/photos/view/12be?b=17&m=f&o=0 ...
I guess, Stan, it also depends on a persons preference. The Campbell's does have some extra visual appeal, but for large areas it is very time consuming, and...
Tony, your models always look good. However, viewing a printed paper structure (or part) in a photo will never show the lack of texture as both are flat...
Stan, You are right. Thanks for the compliment by the way. I tend to put details all around a model because I have no idea where on a layout it will eventually...
Campbell corrugated material is formed from .002 aluminum. Campbell made it in his shop using a machine he developed on his kitchen table. It has never been...

I have a question about billboards from the 1930-1940's, if they have them. What are the signs made of? Are they paper glued on solid wood, wood planks or are...

Tony, billboards existed pre-1900 so they are quite old. They were typically printed or painted on paper which was put in vertical rolls about 2 to three foot...
Thanks Stan. I thought that might be the case as it seemed logical, but I wanted to know for sure. I would assume that the large signs on some buildings, apart...
If I remember correctly, the construction was made with a metal sheeting over some form of lath strips. That is what rolled paper was applied to. After WWII,...
