After my modest success with the 1/64 scale shipping pallets, I was thinking about what else I could try to make, and settled on a Jersey barrier and an arcade cabinet. Turned out pretty well.
These are the result of hours of work over a couple evenings. Desktop hobby plotter-cut cardstock & 0.4 mm sheet styrene parts. And Tamiya putty, solvent glue, superglue & acrylic paint.
The Jersey barriers were extremely fiddly and difficult to assemble, though if I make more, I think I've figured out a simpler way to do them.
The arcade cabinet was slightly easier, but seems bare without any graphics or colors on it.
I've realized it's very helpful to put a tiny magnet in the base of these things, to hold them to a stick while painting.

Here's the 1/64 scale retro arcade cabinets I made. Score / fold on the dotted lines, cut on the solid lines.
I fold the interior first, then carefully position & glue the sides, one at a time. Then the back & front go on. Hard to describe, but I think you can figure it out.
Paint however you like. This style of cabinet was used for Galaga, Pac-Man and Ms. Pac-Man in the early 80's.
I found it useful to cut a small piece of cardstock for the bottom, and glue a little magnet inside, and use that to hold it to a stick for painting.
EDIT: Since this is getting noticed, I'm adding a fine lines version, in case that's easier for anyone. I hope you all have fun!
