What are a good materials in making a Scale Model of a house? ?

Question

Scale 1:50 thanks. :)

Answer 1

For a scale this small, you are going to have to use materials where the thickness of the material is in scale with the thickness of walls.  A 1:50 scale means 1/16" is equivalent to 4.125" so tagboard that thick will make a scale wall in a residence and you will have to decide if you are going to do doors (about 2") in 1/32" material.  Cardboard also has the nice feature that if you score, but do not cut through the corners from the outside, you can fold at the corners, making gluing up a room much easier than if you are trying to hold pieces in place and glue them.  Blue masking tape, that peels off, is also nice for temporary holding.

Answer 2

Foam board is very sturdy and easy to cut.  It also holds its form very well, so no need for extra fortification.  

When I was in second grade we went to an archetectural office and watched them make scale houses and that is what they used.
