The first one was quite basic. I built the base and Charlie told me where to put the strips of cardboard.
The second one was more complicated. I drew a grid on some cardboard and Charlie drew the path that the marbles would travel along.
Then I made walls from card (it took ages!) and the end result looks like this:
