Does anyone have a good way of making thin armco type traffic barriers for either road sides or median strips please?
Thanks for your help?

Armco Barriers?

Alot would depend on scale but you could possibly use some from a Slot car set.
Aurora or Tyco in HO scale
Scalextric or Ninco for the larger scales.
You could maybe even use one simply as a Mold to make one from thinner material like craft foil etc.

A bit larger corrugation might help..........sometimes those Boxes of Chocolates have a corrugated piece that goes between layers..............There again.........SCALE..WHAT SCALE
You've given me an idea! How about the corrugated bit out of the middle of bean tins? Can anyone tell me the overall depth of an armco barriers (top to bottom) and thickness (front to back). Please don't get run over finding these out!
I should have said that I'm working in H0.

If it's HO then Faller do a set of crash barriers that are very similar to the armco type, although I cannot remember the part number off the top of my head!
I would go to the slot forum and find some Aurora slot car racing Barriers to bid on..........( cut the Rails off the uprights and hit a few spots here and there with a hot solder iron for bends and dents....... paint them Metal silver followed by an alcohol/Ink wash followed by a shot of dullcote and then Glue & Pin them to Wood posts that are weathered grey with creosote around the base..........these will then look Very Good!!
