Can't buy one? Build one!

I recently finished my senior art project. It's a 1/4 scale Kenworth W900 made entirely from cardboard (with the exception of the grill mesh and hubcaps). I worked flat strap the last two weeks to get it finished. I ended up running out of time though so a few things were rushed but overall I'm happy with the result, I'm getting assessed on it right now.

Pictures! (These were taken before it was completely finished so there is a few things missing)

I considered it but the aim is to make something precious from something that isn't (alchemy). If I painted it I might detract from the fact that it's only made of cardboard so I'll leave it how it is for the time being.

Yeah mate got the turntable done post photo taking. If you can imagine the main shape made of thicker cardboard and then thin card sheet on the sides to give it depth. Then mounted to a plate which was in turn mounted to the chassis.
