Here's a quick tutorial for making cardboard bases for replacing nice houses that lost theirs. It's a little over engineered as compared to the old Japanese style but they look and feel the same. I think Thomas or Howard might have posted something like this before but I had a client that wanted to know how to make one so I thought I share my way with you.

Pete...

an outstanding tutorial!...thank you for posting...it leave no details out...absolutely none!...I like things that are over engineered...

My very best regards...

Howard

I agree, solid work Pete!!!!

Thanks Pete for putting this together, this is so so helpful. I love all the pictures and diagrams. Supper job!
