<p>Cardstock has been used for a building material for many years. It was being used when I got into model trains back in the early 1950's, and probably a long time time before that. Modelers had balsa wood as their primary wood source for building back then. Cardstock had to be a lot cheaper and if it was covered up, it acted as a good base material. </p><p>I agree with the post about cardstock being a smooth surfaced solid material. The shellac is probably to seal the cardstock and make it impervious to moisture. I think cardstock material was available in several thicknesses and was called strathmore board. A lot Suydam kits were strathmore board and some wood kits used the strathmore board for their roof base and were covered with other materials. </p>
