Strictly speaking the whole structure should be built from one business card. A business card measures 14.5H by 25.5L, in HO scale. You can build something smaller, but if you planning on building a small shack like an outhouse or shed, to have enough materials for the walls and sub-roof you will have limit your structures width to approximately four foot wide. And to have some material leftover for some trim you have to limit your height to nine feet.
The structure would be modeled as a simple board on board structure. Individual boards can be scored into the surface and nail holes and board ends can be added to each board. Using a verity of methods I have tried to add wood grain to the individual boards. This works only if you are carefull not to go too deep into the cardstock. I still wasn't happy with the outcome and I don't believe this was worth the effort.
