Finding my folding technique took a while as I practised a lot with paper and really should have just got into it with the cardboard. I first started by seeing how much material I had to work with, and in those 3 long strips I started folding it into a square and then a triangle. I found a triangle to be stronger as it had an extra flap which could also be used as a holding/folding technique. Once I had the basic shape and structure I played around with what could slot into the triangle, and made a 1:50 model to test it out. After many folds and cuts I found that 4 interlocking triangles worked best. They held themselve in place by being cut the right size, and prooved pretty strong. The locking/folding method was a little loose at the base but still stood upright when stood on.
