Dueling Shacks Corrugated
The second build of the duo. The corrugated. (sorry for the fingerprint on the lens ) I was wondering, should there be some kind of nails, screws that attached the panels, visible ? As with the wooden one, more patination once put on the layout / diorama.

As far as nails or bolts, I think they would be appropriate but could easily take away from what you have done here so far. I might try some experiments on a left-over panel. Probably would try some very small (N scale) NBW to start.
Carl is asking for the softness value of the lead, which makes a difference.
Its a valuable and viable question, for those of us that model.

Also, if everything was so simple, Pele wouldn't have cheated and used his hand, but, that's a discussion for the "off topic" forum and not here.
Here is something to try that I think you could pull offon the next batch. How about having the faded remnants of a label burried underneath the rust and grime?

The Corrugated Shack.
A few reflections I do have. For the rather organized guy ,I like to think of myself , I find it extremely difficult to make on purpose a mess, junk, litter, clutter, chaos, disorder , well you get the picture. It is against my nature so to speak. So I hope the junk and clutter on the diorama aren't to much of a painters composition.....
Then, as I wanted to do something different than other Corrugated Shack dioramas, I placed the improvised workbench and the cabinet inside, together with some other boxes, barrel etc.
It doesn't look logic that ,unless it is totally abandoned and derelict, these two pieces should stand under the leeks of the roof.. My shack is still in use.
Also, I wanted to install some lightning inside. Just for the effect it gives at night. Quiet romantic, I admit, but hey, so what...
I also placed the shack on a concrete base. It would lift it up a bit. And protect it from water coming in through ,where the boards touch the ground.
Sorry for the red and black wire on the last pics...
Hope you like it.
