| 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...  Many thanks for sharing! _________________ RalphMe? Well, I live life vicariously! My Action Man? Well, he lives life victoriously! See my photos @ Flickr | |

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