As I'm sure you will know there are not very many images of this type available so I resorted to photocopying the box fronts of the kits that he makes up and recycling a map from an old book.
Lots of distress ink and a computer generated sentiment and this is what I came up with. I also decorated the inside of the card to match.
Laurence was very pleased and I think hubby was quite impressed with his card.

A great card and a brilliant idea to photocopy the boxes of the kits hubby has as it makes it even more personal.

This is such a wonderful card for so may reason including the imagination that went it to it but the thing that stands out the most is because it was a combined effort between you and your son meant for someone you both love. Really great job. Thank you for sharing this in the June challenge on Recycle, Re-Purpose & Re-Invent. and look forward to seeing more of your lovely creations.
