Some call this wriggly tin or pailing, but it's typically referred to as corrugated sheet metal and abbreviated CGI. Corrugated roofing is a building material composed of sheets of hot-dip galvanized mild steel, then cold-rolled to create its ribbed shape.

Very good product. Matched what I hadfound in another kit. Wish yo had a larger product line.
To-scale corrugated in a medium that takes paint well and weathering even better. I spray painted mine a dull gray then weathered with chalk. Excellent results. Try it!
