You have some beautiful buildings there. Nice details, very playable areas on all of them. Your photography really sets off some of the photos of your miniatures as if they were "taken back in the day". Some look extremely realistic! Thanks for sharing.

That hotel is fantastic! I love the cloth awnings/blinds over the porch and windows, I love the lettering on the sign, and the weathered wood is a great painting effect. I'll say it again - fantastic!

Excellent work. Not actually thought about working onto card. That's a very good idea, one of those that seems obvious when it's pointed out :)
As you're willing to have your brain picked, what glue do you use to attach the wood to the card? I'd say pva but that might mess the card up.

You got it PVA use it right, and it will be straight
Use your finger to put a very thin cover on to the card
Cut the Balsa first Because it will dry very quickly.
