1:25 siding

[landman]

What type of evergreen or Plastruct sheeting should I buy to replicate siding like this in 1:25?  Or what railroad gauge is closest to 1:25 since some of that stuff is sold by railroad sites.

Plastruct has some vac formed textured sheets of corrugated material.  Check their website , about 90% of theit line needs to be ordered direct.   JTT did some 1/24 plastic sheets too. 

Ozark makes some sheets too

I look for items under g-scale under RR building materials. Check Oakridge hobbies they have a full line up of siding in all scales.

Thanks guys.

Evergreen makes this type in various scales.

 

FWIW:  1:25 can fall into the "G Scale" umbrella.  Many accessories published as 1:29 scale will be suitable for 1:25.

Not to take away from Plastruct or anything but a much cheaper solution is corrugated cardboard glued onto some flat sheeting. Its available almost anywhere. I have picked it up from soda displays or the like from convenient stores...if thats not available, your local office store has it.

Bill, do you have to seal that before painting it?

That ......................is one awesome idea right there!

I have painted it with standard rattle can paint...just keep the paint light and use multiple coats as the cardboard will absorb it to point.  The first coat acts as a sealant.  It will handle it well if you have it stuck to a flat surface to keep it from curling or warping.
