thanks for the tutorial, i would like to make a durable diorama for my kids to play their action figure, what kind of material can i use other than wood...? or is there any methods to make the cardboards more durable..?

[epicfantasy]

@JDQ2345 Have fun! You can use foam board. It is more durable than cardboard and reasonably strong and waterproof. Can buy it in drugstores and arts/crafts store. usually around 2 dollars a sheet.
