It's a marvel to watch what you can create with some card, a knife and some other utensils.

Awesome stuff, Z!

I'll show you a couple of bridges I built, Cook .

Thanks Ockman , glad you like them... as you can see card is very versatile. Though I use hobby knives a lot , my fav tool for card is a large pair of scissors , as it allows cutting of card with little effort.

Ha Ha Ominious as in "Oh my God, what is he going to cook up next ?  ??!!!! "

In the meantime you can look these up, they are mainly for a hive style game but can easily be modified , well just for about anything even a boat bridge ( a bridge which can be moved where it is needed not just land bound )

Man, that is a LOT of bridges. Did you cut all those slots out by hand? Do you have some super punch that will do that to foam board?!  :o

Hey Cook ,
They're walkways which can be used a bridges ( as I said they were designed for a hive war type game )
They're made of card ,mostly 2 - 3mm thick. As far as I know I didn't use any foam board on them.

I used to work at an office that had a spiral binding machine , it was a vintage beast which could punch up to that thickness . If you can't get your hands on a one that can punch that thickness then simply punch thinner ones & glue them together.

And there are these converted ones, Faller Train bridge, Airfix Bridge & loads of bits & pieces, especially on the big one.

Since I need a sci-fi bridge, I will probably skip anything modern Earth looking. But your scratch built bridges look nice.

I think we have a binding machine here at work. I'll have to check that out and see what I can do with it. Even stealing some of the punches out of it might make for interesting greeblies!

2-3mm card is thick. I'd love to get my hands on something like that. I think most of my card is in the range of 1-1.5mm if memory serves. I just step up to PVC foam or foam core if I need something thicker, but that tends to drive up cost quite a bit.

Thanks Cook, as I said you can glue thinner card together to get thicker ones.
You would have to align the square holes properly. Then put it under a heavy weight so
that it dries flat with no warping.

On another note here is the undercoated vehicle in black  and then a grey zenithal applied. Both spray can.

and finished.... and since I was asked how I will paint it here is the sequence.

Spray cans black undercoat, grey undercoat zenithal...

A wash of green brown ink
All edges / rivets lined with black blue ink
Dry brush with buff / ivory
Decals added ( GW Tau )
Rust added with nut brown & orange brown
Mud spatters & tyres made with watered down buff
Chipping added with sponge - black , white and brush light grey

Thanks for your comments.

Thanks for the praise.

I store them in every nook and cranny I can find whilst keeping the peace at home.
Recently I started to build small showcases from scrap wood but space is always a premium
and I fear that I'm drastically running out of it !!!.

Zrune you clearly have an immense imagination to piece this stuff together from... well stuff.

That vehicle is slick, would love to see something like it in resin!!

This. Even if it was just the chassis. They would make for great conversion fodder!
