I've been thinking of doing the very same thing.

No reason not to use cardboard, just not corrugated (as yep that does look like cardboard), I was thinking of something more like the card backing you get on A4 pads of paper. After a few washes with PVA glue and some paint it shouldn't look like cardboard any more.

Let us know how you get on, I've not got the space atm to start what with some other dios I'm in the process of building.

Cheers,

Simon
