    I am testing out an idea for a retaining wall made from currogated cardboard.

    Looks good Paul! It looks like the sound barriers that they have along the highways here. What kind of paint did you use?

    Thanks Russ.
    The paint I used is Polly Scale E/L Grey.

    Very realistic. This could have a variety of uses.

    That is an excellent idea and certainly cheap to do.

    here are some pics of my retaining walls they I made using styrene

    Looks very realistic, Paul. [​IMG]
    Similar is used as facing down on the CTRL in Kent UK, except it's thinner perforated corrugated stainless steel sheets laid horizontally.

    Great idea for a retaining wall. Have one spot where I was considering the styrene method like Paul (Colonel) used. May have to re-think that now.

    Thanks for comments.
    I like the currogated cardboard idea on the cheapy way, but I also like the way Paul(Colonel) was building his retaining walls, very impressive.
