[quote user="cudaken"]  I understand the Mock up, why not use a tinplate instead of the carboard mock up. Plus why did you not use the carboard buliding? In the PIC they looked pretty good, well pretty much the same as the one's you are using now? Sorry for such a bump question.                            Cuda Ken[/quote]I have cardboard and more is free.  Cardboard goes together with spots of white glue and is cut with a paper cutter.  I did modify the cardboard building after the initial construction to make the front taller (the widows and front door were partially obscured by the roof overhang.I did not use the cardboard because of several reasons: 1) It was not accurately cut (gaps and misfits) 2) it would warp with the finishing process 3) I added to the length and back wall height when I built the final version (minor but important to me) and 4) the cardboard would not stand up to the scenery process (would really swell and warp out of shape).Thanks for the questions - someone else may not have been brave enough to ask.  These are not dumb questions.
