Interesting...I'm not too sure if I like the shape, but I did like the idea of planting seeds...I am also excited to see huge sections of cardboard...I can see a MONSTER PAPER MODEL in the works...somewhere...

Not too crazy about the shape either but I like the idea. A slight redesign and a light coat of spray paint and you could have a nice, temporay, lowcost toy house or perhaps doghouse. Oops, better not let my wife see this.

I love seeing things like this.
You may also like to check out Mr. McGroovy's site about their cardboard rivet system. Lots of neat things built out of cardboard there.

Yep, then you could go to Desert Domes, use the Dome Calculator to get the dimensions for the triangles needed, and make some neat geodesic domes out of cardboard. Most furniture and appliance stores do not mind if you take the large boxes out of the dumpster, provided you do not leave and mess. I have made a few geodesic domes using the calculators. Kids have a fun time with them. You could get clever and make connecting tunnels between domes and make a great looking multi-domes structure.

I looked around and found one picture of a 2v dome I made a few years ago. It was around 3 feet (91 cm) high.
