And what thickness of board is best for this kind of use - I suppose the question is really how thick is this kind of panel or even what looks best? Thanks in advance

The model is based on Frontier Papers Inc seen athttp://maps.google.com/maps?q=alaska&hl=...,0.19&z=16

But didn't end up looking like it, I think the doors are to big Wallbang
It was difficult to measure because of the the angle google maps camera

Here's some of shots of before and after putting it through Paintshop pro.

   
   
   
   





My building is 997.5 mm or 285 feet long and the panels are 49 mm or 14 feet wide with a 1mm biro line between them. its stands 96mm or 27 1/2 feet tall. I also noticed that the end panel were not as large as the as the main panels.
On the real building it has four loading doors but I've just gone for three.
I'm not sure how to do the writing yet, I might just make a sign..

I used 3mm form board for the walls and roof with 5mm form board for the base and braces.
This it my first attempt at scratch building ....
The idea came after seeing a good friend of mine, Steve Williams's warehouse.
As you can see I'm not an exact scale modeller I just try and get the feel for the place.
