📝 How to Use
Step 1: Insert
Insert your metal sheet between the rollers – make sure it's centered for even results.

Keep the sheet parallel as you begin feeding it through – alignment at the start determines the pattern.
Step 3: Turn
Turn the handle smoothly and steadily – let the rollers do the work without forcing.
✨ Result

🎯 Pro Tips
⚡ Even Patterns
Start with careful centering. Light pressure and smooth cranking give the best, most uniform results.
🎨 Pre-Paint or Post?
You can corrugate before or after painting. Pre-painting is easier, but post-painting creates realistic wear in the valleys.

Tin is most forgiving for beginners. Brass needs lighter touch. Aluminium balances ease of use with realistic appearance.

❓ Common Questions
Can I use this on plastic sheets?
Not recommended – plastic tends to crack. Stick to thin metals and cardboard for best results.
How do I keep the pattern straight on long sheets?
Careful alignment at the start is key. Feed it through slowly and keep consistent pressure – don't rush it.
Is this good for battle damage effects?
Excellent for that! Create bent, twisted panels for bombed buildings or war-torn structures. Very realistic.
What scale does this work for?
Any scale – the corrugations work from 1:72 up to 1:35 and larger. Cut panels to match your project needs.
