3D printed, 1/35 corrugator

I have a 20' Sea-Can in my yard, I've been playing with the idea of making a scale replica of it ---- I could measure it up ;)
Mind you, you can get Sea-Cans off Shapeways ---- called shipping containers if you go looking. They're a bit expensive though ---

Trumpeter makes very expensive (for what they are) 1/35 shipping containers. I thought I could make a former for the sidewalls.
The vacuform idea may work, too.

Same issue with the Italeri container kits in 1/35th and 1/25th scale
Frank3k:
I added a 1/48 scale corrugator as well as a 1/35 "pusher" - a small section of corrugation - that helps thicker aluminum into the grooves.
