I'd imagine that marketing budgets have to be spent, otherwise they will be cut for the next year...

That 1970's kids tv series about origami wasn't a waste of time [and paper] after all. Steve.
Owned numerous Land Rover vehicles of all shapes and sizes over the decades.

I've just conducted some corporate team building with a major UK contractor and their challenge was to build a 30m long railway with sidings, they had to have 15 stations, 7 passenger, 8 goods, advertising, the whole shebang. But the kicker, they had to have it all a minimum of 10cm above the ground. They could only use the paper and card we supplied. And then after 2hrs had to drive the trains around the track.
Was a great day talking to some of the top managers working on the rail upgrade programme. Never seen such ingenious way of supporting a structure only using paper 110 D250 SE HT

I think it's the same guy:

"Lake District paper manufacturer James Cropper PLC supplied the packaging paper for the stunt, while British artist Steve Messam put together the structure that was capable of holding the four-wheel drive Land Rover vehicle.

And it's not the first time Messam has used paper to create incredible structures. In 2015 he used 22,000 sheets of paper to build a working packhorse bridge in the Lake District. His other wacky creations include a Welsh timber-framed cottage using the fleece from 300 local sheep and an installation featuring 25,000 jats of coloured ink.

However, he says the Range Rover was one of the toughest engineering feats he has faced."

Now you can watch the video!
