O.K. own up you are the original Tony Stark, if you can build a rotary engine just with cardboard,locked in your cellar. I couldn't imagine what you could do with the right materials -IRON MAN.

Seeing this makes me think that you might be interested in a group that I co-created called Boxwars.
It seems you have already begun....

This looks totally awesome but it could use a lot more text. I see the pictures but it would be handy if there was text explaining the pictures and giving exact measurements, telling us what to watch out for, etc.

Haha, you must have went for the professional heavy-duty glue gun after the first one melted. This would be great with some metallic paint but it is still cool with the raw cardboard look. I bet you the final product is heavy. Nice.
