Fantastic as usual.
Amazing what can be achieved with skill and patience using some basic materials.

Cheers Chaps.
 I'll be posting an update soon. As I'm currently constructing around 2m of track. Roughly 1.5m isn't card simply because the new washing machine came with two lengths of mdf in the packaging that are exactly the same width as the test section of track Ive already made . With addition of a couple of old pine bed slats they're also the same height.
So once I'm fed up of track construction I'll add a section on DIY track and embankments.

And there I was feeling good about gluing a few matchsticks onto wooden blocks ... and this guy builds a train carriage from cardboard?!

Wow, I kneel in the presence of a master!

This is just mind blowing.
 Need an expensive scenery item for a game? Not a problem pass the cereal packet and scissors!
Honestly probably the most inventive thing that I have ever seen in wargaming. Also thank you for your patient advice on the 18pdr the prototype went well and I have several sets of wheels and await the Perry releases and I will have a battery for next to naught.

I'm glad you found the thread unfortunately
I'd totally missed out updating this thread. ;D
As I added pictures of the finished to the original musing thread on  the Back of Beyond Board .
There's also a few more context pictures in the 1930's town WIP on the Pulp board. Also there's a thread on cereal packet card 30's aeroplanes on there as well.

Great tutorial and inspiration!   :o

 Might try it out for an armoured train for a WW2 themed table.

Cheers,

Fenton
