I have just posted pictures of 2 28mm ACW/Colonial houses made by Jack Alexander (Jacklex fame). He made them out of breakfast cereal packets for our ACW wargames.

The houses not only look good from the outside, but I saw some good ideas on how to build them inside.

Nice stuff, and pretty easy to make once you think it through. I learned this art many years ago from, sigh, Games Workshop.

Having said that, I've taken to making my buildings these days from black foam core, though I still use cereal boxes for the trim, lintels, etc. Handy stuff and a solid way to recycle materials from your kitchen. grin

I would worry about that material degrading very quickly over time?
