I just finished a 15mm scale shipping container based model which would work as emergency housing, command post or other post-apocalyptic feature. Although it turned out quite well, I'm not sure it was worth the effort, because it took way too long.
It's not even really the time it takes, but the precision required. All of which can come crashing down if you get the paper too wet or you make a 0.5mm slip with a knife. There's an article at the usual place, but no file to download. |

If you would not have told me it was paper I would have never guessed. |

Looks great! You're the only one who can judge if it was worth your time, but it looks super. |

With DZT on this, it look like you made it out of plasticard, not paper. It does look good! |

Hah, I've been working out of these for the past 30 years on various construction sites around the world (I'm in one now). ATCO has made a fortune custom building them and they're seen pretty much every where there's oil and gas. |
