I know this is an older thread, but new to me. Rather than start a new thread as was suggested I thought there might be some value in hooking it to this so others would have the context about which I am asking questions.
Nice job done using the Bristol Board. I'll be working in a larger gauge/scale (S from Model RR? / 28mm wargaming figures) and didn't know if anyone had any wisdom to pass along regarding the materials, or alternates.
1. With Bristol Board, is there a rule of thumb about what weight of board you should be using based on the size / scale of the projects you are building?
2. Is there an upper limit at which time a different product becomes a better recommendation?
3. To what extent does interior bracing on the walls help prevent warping?
All asked based on my location. Even though we do run the air conditioner in the hot and humid summer there is still some level of humidity with which to deal. I've seen a lot of folks who do cardstock buildings based on the idea that when they get damaged, they can just print new ones and assemble the replacements. I'd rather build them once and not have to worry about them.
4. Is Foamcore a better alternative? I've seen that warp as well by the sheet, but didn't know if the smaller cut pieces glued together, with or without additional interior bracing were less susceptible because of the stability gained by being glued together into a structure.
5. Any good references (books, links, websites) that you might recommend?
Thanks!
