Wasn't sure which section to put this in, but here's what I've been up to lately.

I noticed this image on Pinterest, but couldn't find any more info about it:

So, I thought I'd try making my own. After taking a few measurements of MAM and VAM figures, I started cutting up a cardboard box:

And building up the shape of the chair:

Here's the chair covered to smooth out the lines:

Tim had to test it out:

Started covering it in cloth from an old pair of curtains:

I'd get on with things a bit quicker if my guys didn't have to keep trying it out!

The finished chair:

Hope you guys like it.  Took me about two weeks of spare time to cut all the cardboard and glue it all together.  Still got lots of materials left so I might make a sofa to go with it!

Thanks for all the comments guys! Work has now started on a three-seater sofa to match the armchair. Might get it done before the end of the month so I can use them in November's photo competition - got a good idea for a picture!

Tom K HQ members really like the this project... except the material we use might have to have a cool 70s pattern... Razz

Many thanks for sharing!

The sofa is now taking shape.  Might need a bigger cutting mat.  And a bigger desk...
