I am making a warehouse for my layout and need to make at least two doors that look like roll-up industrial doors. Anyone done this or have any ideas?
Thanks.

Perhaps corrugated siding?
Here's what I found at Plastruct:
Find or take a picture of what you want and print it out and mount it. Russ
PRB,(Pecos River Brass), sells injection molded, roll-up doors, as one of his line of detail parts. I think he shows them on his website.

Pecos River Brass was closed last year...
I will try to find a door around the area to get a picture of. Hadn't thought of doing that. Too simple...

PRB is still in business, by mailorder, selling a large sellection of modular "O" scale structure kits and structure detail parts.
He closed the retail store many years ago, but has continued in the mailorder business. He has a bunch of really great structure kits and parts. Check them out on his website. You can get his email address there also.

You can still get all the kits and detail parts from Pecos River Brass. John Smith is still selling all all the stuff. I just got a bunch of stuff from him including roll up door piece. Then i used corugated styrene for the actual door.
You can also use a rod, styrene, wood, etc etc and cut some pieces of styrene to.put on the ends of the rod if you wanna make your own.

Here are some I did with manilla file folders and a crimper.

Russ, I took your idea. Walked around the old American Can Co. building here in Fairport. Found just the right door, took its picture and printed out several. Door problem taken care of. Thanks.

Wow, I thought this was the photo of the real doors! Outstanding modeling!
Great Job David!!!! 
Thanks guys! I am actually tearing that scene off the layout today to make some changes. I hope I can re-use some of it.
