Re: 2 hour project
I Like that you've expanded the concept of paper buildings in this hobby. Just wondering though, did you draw out the windows by hand? Or did you print it out. My 1986 NWL concept takes about 20 mins per wall to do because of the drawing and cutting it out (if I don't cut it right, it comes out all crooked.)
For V3, I think if you can draw everything out, you can try to use what I used, that is Index Cards. I'm not too sure of the proportions of your buildings, But I think about 2-4 Index Cards per building might be the most you'll need. It's cheap, pretty strong and easy to work with. Not too sure how you'd print them out though, but it isn't too hard to draw them out either by the looks of things. Another material to work with might be really thin cardboard. It is really strong, though I think folding corners might be rather hard (unless you use slots and tabs like I did in my Index Card concept.) And last off, you have Photo paper or Matte Paper(I think thats what it's called). Its possibly the strongest, most durable material you can get for making buildings. Unfortunally, in most cases, its usually the most expensive of the ideas I mentioned too. I think Index Cards are the best to go with durability wise and cost wise (a good stack of Index Cards ranges from 79 cents to $1.50, depending on which ones you buy and from where.)
