One of the "passed masters" of the hobby, Jack Work, used Strathmore for most of his projects. While this is more expensive than cereal boxes, it is still less than styrene.
I remember Al Armitage's strong support of styrene as a building material, when it was just beginning to appear in the hobby. I always thought I'd stay with wood, but soon found the medium a good one to work with.
Another "passed master" of cardstock modeling, Robin Matthysen (Matthyro) was a highly respected member of The-Gauge. His work can be seen:

I never had a chance to meet Jack Work, but I was blessed with the opportunity to spend a day with Robin. His work looked even better, up close and personal.

We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve.
Lead me not into temptation.....I can find it myself!
