Hi Phil, <br /> <br />Nice topic, I am following it with interest:: I am also a member of 'MyLargescale.com' and in thier forums I have almost finished a large 3 x 2 x 2ft building built almost all in plastic (wood roof and width bracing is the only wood used). <br /> <br />At the corners could I suggest that you rebate the front & back by cutting off the flutes and rear face of the walls, leaving the front face. Into this rebate goes the side wall - and the bracing as you use the inside - this gives you closed flutes all round, and the corner is capped with plastic angle or two flat pieces to make the angle to replicate the corner trim which is the same as the window trim. . <br /> <br />I use a latex based epoxy glue for sticking the Korflue together (Evo-stick) which dries with some residual flexibility. (I can buy new sheet from the sign makers for the house salet signs at £1.00 per square foot, 5mm thick). <br /> <br />If you can find any there is now (here in the UK) some hollow PVC planking (siding) available; this has about 3 or 4 internal cross pieces and can be used for bracing/stiffening. The general thickness is 1/2mm and it cuts quite easily with either a knife or small circular saw. <br /> <br /> <br />Yours Peter Bunce <br /> <br />
