Project Ideas
Business
Etsy DIY Roofing Kits
Package the tiles into small DIY kits (roof panels + adhesive + tiny nails + weathering pigments + printed step-by-step guide) aimed at hobbyists and beginners. Offer themed kits (rural shack, coastal boathouse, industrial rooftop) and upsell matching accessories (mini gutters, vents). Clear photos and video assembly guides increase conversions.
Online Course: Realistic Metal Weathering
Create a paid video course teaching cutting, shaping and weathering techniques specific to 1/35 corrugated steel. Modules cover tools, paints/pigments, texture effects, and attaching tiles to different model substrates. Sell via Udemy/Teachable or your own site; include downloadable templates and before/after case studies.
Custom Diorama & Prop Service
Offer bespoke miniature building commissions for collectors, model-railroad clubs, museums and indie filmmakers. Specialize in realistic corrugated metal roofs and roof-scapes; provide tiered offerings from single roof panels to full custom buildings and on-site consultations for exhibit work.
Subscription Box for Scale Modelers
Launch a monthly subscription box that features small runs of specialty parts (including corrugated tiles), seasonal accessories, exclusive weathering mixes and mini tutorials. Each month’s theme could target specific model styles (WW2, rural, coastal), encouraging recurring revenue and community building.
Upcycled Jewelry & Home Accents Line
Turn tiles into finished product lines—pendants, cufflinks, magnets or tiny framed panels—by cutting, rounding edges, patinating and sealing. Market as industrial-minimalist accessories made from real miniature corrugated steel; sell through craft fairs, boutiques and online marketplaces for higher margin, small-batch products.
Creative
Weathered Rural Shanty
Build a 1/35-scale corrugated-roof shanty or lean-to for dioramas. Use multiple tiles overlapped like real sheets, add patchwork repairs (tiny staples or painted rivets), and create realistic rust and dirt with layered acrylics, dry pigments and washes. Combine with scale wood planks, crushed roof felt (from paper), and miniature gutters to sell or display as a photorealistic vignette.
Industrial Rooftop Detail Scene
Assemble a rooftop deck for model trains or military vehicles: cut and stagger tiles to form multiple roof planes, add scale vents, HVAC boxes, ladders and puddles (resin). The corrugation gives believable texture for snow buildup, oil stains and foot traffic. Photograph for portfolio or use as a backdrop in stop-motion films.
Fairy-Garden Garden Shed
Create a charming miniature greenhouse or fairy shed using the tiles as a shiny corrugated roof. Paint soft patinas (greens/teals) and apply moss effects along edges. Pair with translucent walls (acetate) and tiny potted plants for whimsical displays or giftable keepsakes for garden lovers.
Coastal Boathouse Diorama
Make a seaside warehouse or boathouse with weathered corrugated steel roofs: add barnacle texture (air-dry clay), salt deposits (dry pigments), and algae streaking. Position on a base with textured sand, pilings and water effects to create a convincing coastal scene useful for diorama contests or retail displays.
Miniature Home Decor / Functional Object
Use tiles as components in small functional decor: a shadowbox with a lit scene under the corrugated roof, or turned into desk accessories (paperweight with embedded mini roof, keyed jewelry dish lined with a cut tile). Seal and smooth edges for safe handling; the stainless look gives an industrial-chic aesthetic.
