Hello everyone!
Work on the hangar continues.
I laid several layers of stain on the wooden roof structure and assembled farms with ribs and plating.
I laid on top sheeting using aluminum foil from food box.




I'm made a matrix that will help me to attempted to emulate sheets of corrugated galvanized steel.
These sheets I will put on the facades of the hangar, as shown in one of the reference photographs above.




Aluminum foil, however, did not like galvanized steel, so I'll need to paint them.
I'll be glad of any tips on how to achieve this effect:

That is lovely work on the corrugated cladding. How did you make it?

Galvanising is bright and silvery when new but it soon dulls to a metallic grey colour. Perhaps a mixture of light grey and aluminium?

Outstanding work on the beginnings of the hanger! Your corrugations and interior framing are terrific!

Very nice work on the hanger roof. It looks like you've used tooth-picks for the corrugated metal sheet template, haven't you?

Hello!!!

I just found this and again - shame on me. Great idea that you executed very well so far!!! :) I admire you for choosing 72 scale!!! Building Albatros in 72 is beyond me!!! :D

Hello everyone!
I'm glad you liked my work on the hangar.
As for the tool with which I worked corrugated sheets is very simple, and because I have not photographed exactly how I did it, I decided to draw the process:

Hi Frame, Here's a corrugated iron roof I did the same way as you.I've painted it with several shades of grey and red .If you want to depict a factory fresh roof you might just leave out the rust and dry brush with gunmetal and aluminium instead.

Hello everyone!
I finished work on my hangar. For coloring а sheet metal I use a couple of washes mix with oil and acrylic paints. I'm not apply primer on the aluminum foil, which was stupid, and therefore places the paint is washed away at work, leading to repeatedly clean and start again. For gable tried to imitate coated fabric, with the help of wrapping paper of shoes box, glued on planking inside. Then painting and tinting with dry pastel. The number of hangar is made by handbrush. Doors them mounted on hinges of some fishing hose, and for my great surprise can be opened and closed.
Well that's it for now. I started working on the ground, and then resume work on airplanes.

Hristo, that is incredible work! Your hangers and aircraft are phenomenal! I started to do the famous Jasta 5 line-up in 1/48 using selective compression, only doing the front walls of the hangers. I gave up on it (the diorama) because it was simply too much space! Keep up your beautiful work, I love Jasta 5.

Really impressive. A masterpiece of a hanger! Maybe the roof would need a little more rust?

Thanks for the kind words about my work, guys.
Vincentm you're right, it looks a bit sterile hangar, but I was afraid at this stage to keep it tо weathering it.
Forbad me fact that the hangar was built in the same year, and I think there is no way to look very old.
Will try to weathering more when diorama acquire slightly more finished look.
