Model building tips please

Question

I want to make a scale building, but not a cheap one like tooth picks and popsicle sticks i want the model to be as realistic as possible. Please give links if possible.

Answer 1

I'm guessing Yahoo Answers placed this in Photography because of the word "model."  You may want to look around to see if there's a better category for this.  

Our models aren't generally made of toothpicks and/or popsicle sticks.

Answer 3

If you want to make an "ok" model- go with chipboard. You can get it at any art store. Just make sure you buy all the same color. It comes in a few different thicknesses.

The best material to use in modeling is basswood. You can usually get that at an art store as well, however it is more expensive.

Best advise- change your blades after every other cut. It will give you clean cuts. And take you time building it!!
