Room Models

Room Image & Dimensions

1:10 cardstock model (300gsm)



1:10 Paper Model (90gsm)







Review:
Cardstock 1:10
Pros: 
- Thick and durable
- Stronger/stiffer than paper
- requires only a fold and glue to connect
Cons:
- Harder to cut than paper
- Harder to fold than paper


Paper 1:10
Pros:
-Easier to cut
- Easier to fold
-Material is more readily available
Cons
- Thin and flimsy
- Harder to connect together (required more glue and folds)
- Didn't maintain an erect shape

Conclusion:
Paper and cardstock cannot support itself at 1:10. Onwards, build at a smaller scale. Will try 1:20 with both paper and cardstock.
