Hi again all
Well I tracked down the thin aluminium slats for making carriage roofs from, and they will work well for scratchbuilding and kitbashing. What I need to know now is how to increase or reduce the radius of the bend in the material. I tried what I usually do which is rub the material (plastic or card) over the edge of a table or other flat edged surface, but this is not producing a good result at all........ Also, when I cut the material with scissors, which it does very easily, there are always (understandable) curled-up edges.
I believe there might be rollers of different radii for the task, but will await feedback on this.
Primarily I need the material for coach roofs for now. (Hornby 4 wheel coaches)
Any insight into these problems would be much appreciated
thanks
Steve
