Hey guys, I was thinking on entering the silage competition.... trouble is I have have no room for any permanent fixtures and no buildings etc... So I was thinking (brace yer sels) disposable buildings out of paper, IE Cheap, can be (delete as applicable) Burned, recycled, landfilled when finished with. Effects can be printed on bits of paper is need be.
has any one ever thought about/ or attempted such a thing.... and if they have any ideas on how much load paper can handle (I know about folding) .... Think silage pit with heavy siku model on top sort of thing. If the worst came to the worst I could insert knex roads in key places for strength.
I was playing around with bits of paper making 'H' beams with different techniques. seems to cope reasonable well with vertical loading. Ill have to reduce the size a bit to fit the scale which will create hell with strength but hey.... paper is cheap....
I reckon a roof can be made fairly light and stylish so paper should hold up a fair size of roof made up of paper.
