Over the past month or so, a friend of mine has been excitedly talking about a project he's helping with.
Recently I discovered what all of his fuss was about;

I'm no walking advert, so I'm not going to talk about this at detailed length.

I know that these boxes are bloody sturdy, however, and they seem to be adding some nicely detailed 3D bits to it all.


Today I showed the man who is making all of this (Julian) how to cast, with embarassingly horrendous results! (PVC molds & resin is not a good plan without a lot more preparation!)

It says the doors and windows and gates and stuff are plasticard or resin, but what about the walls and buildings themselves?

It's cardboard. Sturdy, flat-packed cardboard. It can hold more than a few minis and will last forever if treated right. c:

I saw the demo with the bag of sugar, definitely looks like sturdy stuff. whee Does it fold up and store away, or is it permanently assembled?

From what I saw of it in person, it's easy enough to unpack it all and store it flat for carriage.
