I have previously mentioned this great book I received on my birthday - 50 little card cars to push out, fold and glue.

Between 20-45 mins is suggested to build as some are far more complex than others.
I've started at the easy end.

Model T last week, the Roller just now.
Yes, they are very simplistic but they are really great fun, absorbing and relaxing to make.

Well, here we have another one from my book of 50 cardboard cars...
This time, a DeLorean.

Not really as quite good as the previous two as I feel that overall, the car is too 'flat' and low to the ground.
Still, another fun little half hour diversion.

For cardboard cars they look good Roy and something different to occupy a few hours..... So where are you going to display 50 of these when they're done, would imagine they'd take up a fair amount of space.... Look forward to seeing more....Cool Cool

Regards

Thanks Alan.

Yes, they are quite simple little models that are a short, fun build every now and then but you're right - where on earth would 50 of them go?
They are all at a rough scale of anywhere between 1/32 and 1/24 so displaying them is a problem for the future...LOL LOL LOL
