| I am currently constructing a large Quonset/Nissen Hut from scratch to build for a diorama. I thought i would post pictures as i go along for you to see. For those of you unsure what a Quonset/Nissen hut is a prefabricated steel structure, made from a half-cylindrical skin of corrugated steel. Originally designed during World War I, it was used extensively during World War II. I will post more as and when i get time to do some work on it. MDF cut and glued.  Front and back with dowel supports   Corrugated Roof   First coat of paint    Let me know what you think so far.

| Excellent work Fonnezz! It could be used for a 'Great Escape' type of yarn (photoshoot) I'm liking your Stormtrooper guards too! _________________ clivvers - saviour of the huMAM race @ MAMageddon 2009 - 2099 @ clivvers MAM Nation: | |
