There are tools designed to cut PVC which are clean and easy to use. One is like a large pair of cutting pliers, and one has a cutting wheel like a standard pipe cutter. There is no mess. PVC is inert and not subject to humidity changes. Glues easily. Mistakes can be repaired readily. It is also fairly cheap, available all over, and there are an assortment of parts. Kind of like building with tinker toys. Styrene sheets can be glued directly to the supports to form backdrops and fascia. We are testing 1.5 inch Schedule 40 pipe to form a three level layout. Metal pipe clips hold the uprights to the wall. Elbows, caps, and tees make up the rest of the parts. Hope the above helps.
