Color is white - Unpainted.
We believe this is the most accurately scaled O-Scale corrugated roofing product on the market.
Our high-quality, highly detailed corrugated roofing material is perfect for the discerning modeler.
This is made from a high-quality, white paintable Strathmore artist's cardstock. The product is a dream to finish and is much easier than plastic or metal/foil. It finishes easily using spray-on or acrylic paint and weathering chalks.
You will receive five 8" x 2" strips of white, unpainted paper scale corrugated metal roofing.
That's 80 square inches of roofing, or almost 1300 scale square feet!
When Precision Counts
Here's how our model roofing stacks up to the real world.
Note that the 'ridges' In corrugated roofing are referred to as Ribs.
Corrugated roofing panel sizes vary, but 2' x 8' is one of the standard sizes. 8 ribs per two-foot section, or 4 ribs per foot is common.

We very slightly and intentionally exaggerate the rib sizes, so they stand out better.
Easy Finishing Suggestions
Instructions are included along with a link to our website with more details.
Cut panels to desired size. Attach a loop of blue painters’ tape to scrap cardboard and attach pieces of roofing to tape.
Paint with a coat of gray or metallic aluminum from rattle-can spray paint. Let dry, then lightly dust with rust-colored spray paint. Attach to roof or walls with white craft glue. Enhance edges with a dark acrylic wet wash and let dry. Apply a thin, dirty wash and let dry. Add final rust and grime effects using acrylic chalks. Seal with Testors Dullcote or similar clear matte finish.

I have never had a bad product from Ironworks. He changed up the roofing a little bit from my first order. It's actually better than it originally was. Used it on my Engine Shed rebuild, holds paint and weathering beautifully. This will be my go to source for corrugated until he calls it quits.
Really enjoyed using your On30 products!!
Realistic, crisp corrugated paper!
