Lookin' good, Chuck.  Not sure if you saw my cardboard classics...  I built these out of shirt boxes about 25 years ago...  the windows are all photocopied from MR drawings.

Wow, those are nice!  I used to make paper and card models of ships almost 30 years ago and dad did cardstock models on our HO layout way back then.  I've recently been tinkering with building cardstock structures and, due mostly to budget, I'll be building many of my layout's main buildings out of cardstock, foamcore, plexiglas, etc.  I apparently can't post pictures here yet but will post some of what I've done when I can.

I'm working on some mockups that I may have to tolerate for a few years. Designing the buildings in Photoshop using various images, printing on heavy stock and mounting on artist's board with spray adhesive. First attempts were promising enough I'll probably keep tinkering.

I'm trying to attach images, but as a first-time poster I imagine I'm SOL.
