Since the real structure was destroyed by fire in 1962, we have 55 years or artistic license to customize the unique shape to better fit in a small scale Putztown. Included are pics from around the web to give the general idea of the shape. The central section would obviously need the most creativity. I think it would have to be layered up with various sizes of corrugated foil to get the look. And so far, I can't find a paper crimper that will make anything but one size. Some have used a Fiskars crimper and aluminum pans to create corrugated metal panels for barns and roof sections. So I really am asking for advice on where to get a tool (or tools) that can make successively smaller corrugations so the vertical peaks can line up in spite of tighter radius concentric circles. I hope that makes sense.
All advice would be appreciated. I really would like to create a reasonable replica as a sort of Christmas ornament for a friend for Christmas this year. Yes, 2017, THIS year!
