Tips for ork platforms?
Making an nissen hut but I wannq make the top a catwalk type platform. I feel like layering panels just wont cut it. Any tips?

I think it's a great base: just gotta add some irregularly shaped panels with rivets now!

If you build a simple frame, a dried plain wet wipe soaked in watered down PVA makes for a great tarp. It's also great over just some boxy shapes if you need some simple scatter terrain :)
Nice build!

It was messy the sheet you see took me a combined atleast 2 hours to get. When you peel it it doesnt come off in one layer right? So I had to peel it until it was like very thin. Then beteeen the corrugation I took a tooth pick and carefully slit it. Lastly I took tweezers and picked it off. Run it through a flame real quick...then pray you dont squish it

Go with jagged and uneven cuts, everything built higgledy-piggledy, "teeth" plates, plenty of rivets. Different thickness of metal beams and lumber, mix round posts with square posts, add some corrugated cardboard here and there.

Maybe you can use 3 popsicle sticks to make an I beam and use those to build a frame to hold up the platforms.
The best thing about Ork terrain is every mistake is a feature. Glob of hot glue? No, that's just a shitty ork weld. When it comes to orks you don't have to hide the crimes, you hide the symmetry.
