can anyone help

to the FSM forum, and to the hobby
There are a variety of products, as mentioned above. However, one other, cheap, method might be in order as well. Take some normal corrugated cardboard, and remove one of the top layers so that you can see the corrugations. Paint it thickly with white school glue, and allow to dry. You do this so that the cardboard will become harder. Then, take some thick aluminum foil, and pressit onto the cardboard, being careful not to collapse any of the bridges. Once done, you'll have a nice print to use.
If memory serves me right, a similar technique was used by one of the authors of TMMI for a diorama, and the effect was done very well. I'll see if I can dig up the mag for some details.

The main drawbacks of the Evergreen sheets are their thickness and lack of detail on the "in" side. If it was up to me, I'd get some corrugated Evergreen sheet and use two sheets faced together as a press to emboss pieces of thin sheet metal (I'd probably use the heaviest gauge aluminum foil I could find) cut to the scale size of a standard hunk of tin (I want to say 3'x6', but I'm probably wrong, google it!). That way, PCB etchant could be used to weather the material if desired.

I've had pretty good luck (IMHO) replicating the color of galvanized sheet material with the cheapest store-brand gray primer I can find. Weather it up and you're GTG.

thanks for your help chaps :)

evergreen styrene carries sheets of the stuff in varying thicknesses.
