Using paper structures comes to mind since they are starting to look pretty realistic and they are inexpensive ......quality seems to have come a long way .What thickness paper could I use in my Epson printer to provide more strength ?
There is also a recommendation to use CA glue which I'd rather avoid if possible ....does spray or stick glue work ?
Any other suggestions ? Terry
Card stock for printing business cards, should feed through your printer. As for strength, you will need square stock at the corners, to re-inforce them, and I'd recommend the same square stock at the floor levels, with a plain sheet ( or printed with carpet if you wish ) for "floors", to help stabilize the structure. Carpenter's glue would work well, it is, after all, a "wood" product.
