How to Make a WarHammer 40k Rusted Steel Shed
by Matthew Glanfield
Hello, This past week I decided to groom my terrain collection with an authentic rusted corrugated steel shed. As you all know I love making warhammer terrain. Especially warhammer 40k terrain. I can make one in less than 90 minutes so let’s get to it.
Here’s a list of the materials well be using:
A block of polystyrene (insulation foam) or regular Styrofoam.
18 popsicle sticks.
2 strips of cardboard 3 inches high and 12 inches long (the amount of cardboard given to you in a pizza box would be more than plenty).
Utility knife and scissors.
Paint brush.
Black paint.
Grey paint.
Brown paint.
Rust colored paint (or just a red and brown mixed could work too).
Silver paint.
Green paint (something that resembles moss color).
I’d loved to see things look blown up and partially wrecked and destroyed, so if you’ve looked at the shed and said “man this looks really beat up” – you’ll know it was made by Miniwargamer Dave.
Kay, nuff talk and more building then wrecking I say. Let’s get to it.
Step 1 Prepare and cut the cardboard.
Cardboards are usually flat so you’ll have to peel one layer of the flat sides off in order to expose the corrugated look of the inside. You’ll see the corrugated part once you start peeling. Use a sanding block or sandpaper to sand off any excess bits in the grooves. You can size the cardboards strips however you choose.
Step 2 Glue Styrofoam to cardboard
Cut 4 blocks of Styrofoam equal to the height of your cardboard strips and glue them together.
