Fantastic guys, wonderful things happening here, so much brilliant variety.

Love the texturing of the road surface Kestral, and all the ideas being shared, glad you have joined in the fun Graven, and Cleatus, that sounds a very interesting idea Cleatus.

Keep at it guys, wonderful work.

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far, away...

IF (big if at the moment) I get a spurt of inspiration - and I do have some ideas in mind... - then this is what I'll make my piece pretty much entirely out of the classic material that is cereal boxes. A sheet or two of A4 paper may also appear...


(disclaimer: other cereals are available...)

More to follow... possibly...

Might do a couple more pics, since it's not quite finished yet - still not 100% together, but it's coming along really well. So soon I hope. I need my painting table back lmao

At least I finally had a chance to go get some MDF for a base (point in fact, if you're in a high humid area, don't leave your MDF in your shed... it'll mold. Sigh)

Love that building @Red Harvest that looks awesome, I'd have not reckoned on it holding 80+ pounds tho.

Must. Eat. More. Cereal....

Working on the bridge: The roof is one of my favorite uses of Cardboard - corrugated roof.



Note the use of Sprue as a railing and with the "spikes" where models attach sticking out. Also considering some round sprue as pipe.

The build is proceeding nicely. I might be able to finish the overall structure this weekend, but there's still quite a bit of detail work to do.

Well I told you it would be simple.

Just simple card tiles stuck to a cereal card base to give a floor tile. Equally simple does have it's advantages.

That's completed at the moment plenty more to come and with some in use shots



It's card so lightweight easy to store and replace. I'm currently considering doing a few objective rooms and staircase tiles.

My entry will be a half-timbered Empire-style house (i.e. top-heavy and stylized) of yet-undetermined design (i.e. I'm just going to add things on just as a real owner would)

I will provide pics of materials as I decide to use them.

For Starters: Corrugated cardboard and styrene window bitz




The Idea is to make the wood framing be the real support just like the real thing, since corrugated is designed to give under pressure from a certain direction, so EVERYTHING needs to be square

I must admit, I had fairly low expectations of what kind of results this theme would yield...but wow! there are some brilliant projects cooking here so far!...definitely changed my view of cardboard as a terrain material

As a tip for making right angles, grab your old lego blocks.

You can build two L shaped walls as high as your need to hold it all straight while the glue dries.

Wow, grot town is awesome, and that house looks cool too. Nothing wrong with cardboard flagstones either. Here's a question - can you include models/objects that are not directly attached to the submission? I have some ideas, but I like to keep things modular for game play (I'm not really a diorama guy)?
