Russ, there is a small building in Vernon at the corner of Minerva and 25th St. on a nice triangle property I forgot the address of and could not visit that location.
This is the prototype

I got aluminum foil from the kitchen to cover the styrene base structure with patches. They are prepared with a brush on a spare styrene with the image of corrugated iron sheet.

This is the current status on the spot under preparation works (the model has been turned by 180° to show the front details).

And a detail showing "how easy" it is to do the plating like a mess
The foil is glued over doors and windows, firm attached with the brush to the base and than cut out.

It is about 2am and the glue has to set. Will be back in the morning to do the paint job
ps. When ever I look at Vernon in streetview I would like to be there again!
