Model making Paper vs cardboard

MODEL 1

Using ordinary a3 paper to create a replication of my family living room posed a challenge as the material was very floppy to a degree that it was hard to work with as it would always bend and warp as you where trying to join peices. In the end the peice as a whole took form reasonably well but the size meant that the walls sagged to a degree, in conclusion The paper was much easier to cut with the scalpel , and had a cleaner look but the rigidity and overal workability was poor compared to the cardboard. The scale was 1:10 which made it even harder to put together and more floppy.









MODEL 2

Made using cardboard from 2 cereal boxes , The cardboard scale model of my living room was At a 1:12 scale which made it more workable but was still too big. The cardboard was a much more pleasant experience to make models with as it allowed for a much more stable stucture, this activaty was valuable it giving lessons on what materials are most suitable for the model making.
