Again, great modelling Ray with cheap materials. Those building capture the very essence of those large warehouses we can see on
old NYC pictures. Another proof one can easily scratchbuilt personnalized buildings using simple but effective method. Thumbsup There's no limit to creativity. I was recently thinking of using strips of corrugated craft paper to make corrugated steel grain bins (Walthers aren't cheap at all and don't fit all places).

I think it will inspire a lot of folks here. It's funny, but most impressive structures I've seen here were all made of card. Your bullet proof structural core are the answer to make structurally sound card building without seeing them warp over time.

I'm actually in the process of completing a 100% card building (except windows). It was a lot of fun and I find irregularities found in card and paper express better weathering and imperfections found in real life.
