Just a quick update. I purchased a Fiscars paper crimper on a lark a few months ago and it has sat in a drawer ever since. |
 |
Then while working on some ducting at the house I found the perfect material to work with it. Metal ducting tape. |
 |
First I pealed the backing off the metal and tape it to a scrap piece of paper and cut it to size. This will allow it to be glued to other surfaces since the backing is waxed. |
 |
Then I run it through the crimper. |
 |
After some quick weathering and damage you can see the effect. |
Hope you like.

Brilliant! I will have to look for one of the crimpers as I want to make a shanty town
ReplyDeleteVery good idea. I bought a fantastically expensive railway modelling tool for the same purpose and it just made rubbish corrugations.
ReplyDeleteI used to use a knitting needle and a ruler to do one corrugation at a time. Slow but effective.
I have the exact same crimper and have used it for a couple of years for making corrugated metal. But I never thought of using metal duct tape. That's genius! I will be giving it a shot.
ReplyDeleteThat's great! I've tried a lot of different media in my crimper. Haven't tried the metal ducting tape. I will have to try that. Thanks for posting.
ReplyDeleteThat's a really good idea, and if you use a fair amount saves a lot on painting. Thanks!
