Hey guys just wondering if anyone else makes their own custom playsets out of cardboard boxes? Like really doing a good job on it. Im workin on making one now a cobra warhouse thing, ive got a few pics, i just started on this last night and did it quick noway near finished. Im going to print out things ive saw on joedios like walls, computers, chairs, etc, what is the best paper/printer to use? Well give me some feedback, or hell some pics of your own bases and such.

Look like a good start you got going there
well I started a house a while back but I admit I got stalled on the project as i don't like the way it turning out. as far using the printables I use 110lb cardtsock paper. That paper makes for some good sturdy items like chairs, table, walls etc... as far as printers most any Ink jet or laser printer will do. here pics that I used the cardboard house in and link to a how to. Two Story House I do much better with cardstock this is a small example house i did

thats pretty cool just give me some time to get the printer and paper, but that will give me plenty of time to design it. im going to make an armory, garage, heli pad, and a lab, and then just a few diff random room.

cool.
I built my son an entire city block out of cardboard boxes, but I didnt do the interiors.... You can get around the sticky paper by using Spray adhesive.

We used to make stuff like this as kids... not on the level you guys have done though, of course. I'd really like to do something along these lines for my shelf displays, so you are inspirational!

When I was about 12-13, I tried making a scale Pit based on the blueprint that was in issue #1 of the Marvel comic. Cardboard boxes stacked, etc. Didnt look anywhere near as cool as what was done here tho'.
