Corrugated iron

Some corrugated iron that my dad had hidden away. This look sufficiently aged and could be enough for the entire set ( I need to measure the box and check first of all). As it will be of no cost it would be perfect, however there is an issue of transport as it is 3 hour drive away - if this can be negociated it will prove a great find and be further recycling. The real, worn iron should look far superior to painted, plastic replica in evoking the feel of teh trenches.



Having measured the iron cladding in the model box and drawn a diagram, there is enough iron to clad the rostra on three sides with some remaining. 

Diagram to scale 1:25 to check there was the right quantity of iron.
