I've been making stuff for the background of my track. This is some of the first test pieces.

That's neat! I'm in the process of making a 412 car wooden showcase for my collection.

Digging it 100%
Amazing with just cardboard and craft sticks. With a colour printer and paint you're going to dress this out to the nines!
Creative!

This post made me finally decide to create an account and participate by making my first post. I enjoy cardboard projects and yours is clean and simple. Noice!

- cardboard and indurtrial paper mache is my favorite media (I made a 9' , 16" wide sword for halloween one year, that weighted less than 10 lbs — dr_dodge
I'm inspired. I have a lot of cardboard.
What did you use to adhere it all together? It looks like maybe hot glue?
- I've used hot glue on my various cardboard projects — ManiacMotorsports
- I gotta try that. I've seen people make cook stuff with cardboard but had no success of my own — Fat_Dad
- Yes, hot glue and tape — JBlotner42
- And a few sharp pen knife blades. Cardboard dulls them like crazy. — JBlotner42
Nice parking garage idea. Where else can you store your cars? Keep detailing it! Very inspiring.
- Thanks! Next is going to be a bakery for the wife. Need some colored construction paper first. — JBlotner42
Looking pretty cool, I need to work on that after the move and track build... Keep up the great work..
I've been thinking of making a loose car display, too.
But I've got 200+ loose cars, so I'm making mine as big as possible, with dark stained pine, and either red or green felt on the bottom were the car's wheels sit on.
