It's as if I found out space shuttles really were just made of soldered soup cans.

Aren't they?

It's not as difficult as you'd think. Just requires treating card more like wood.
When I can count to ten again ( rather than 8 and a bit.) If you like I can build something similar technique wise in a WiP.

Burn it?

Nothing out of the ordinary .Sand it,carve it,and steam it to aid forming.Just as you can do with a piece of wood.
I normally use an old table spoon as a former for each half of a body shape ( couple of pieces laminated after steaming then carved and sanded in shape ).
The domed section on the locomotive is simply roled card .Carved to a rough shape and finished with an Emory board..

Finally managed to find time for a foot version of the ancient Barbarian. It's going to go over to Chris. As an additional set for his Guard's Guard's stuff.
