You need something to represent the brushed steel roof. Maybe some aluminum foil, or silver paint.

To build a model, you first need to get as many picutres as you can of the object you are replicating. Type the name into your search box and click on “images”. You will find a lot there.

Now go to flickr.com and do a search for photos of it.

Also see the search list below.

A lot of how to do it would depend on the size of building you want, plus the level of detail and the degree of realism you need.
For example, are you talking about a model that’s 5″ tall? or 18″ or more tall? Would make a big difference in materials and technique.

You might want to give more detail about the 3 things I mentioned above, and see if you get more answers.

(You might also want to check out my page on making houses and other structures, etc., with polymer clay –the kind that bakes in a home oven– for at least some ideas too:
… start with the category called BASIC CONSTRUCTION, HOUSES”…)
