Doll house modeling?
Question:i am doing a project for math where i have to make a scale model of a house. but it's like a big blueprint. its not supposed to have a roof, like you're looking down on it and it has all the furniture and things inside it. anyways, i have to make little furniture ( beds, couches, tables, chairs, etc) and i don't know what to make it out of? any ideas?
Answers:
there's a website that you can make paper furniture and accessories from. you print the item, cut it out and fold it according to instructions. not all furniture pieces are there, but you may be able to get enough to use.

Cardboard?
I like using foamcore board when I am making scale models (I am an interior design student) because it is strong, unlike cardboard which bends easily. Just use a sharp razorblade to cut it. You can find it at craft stores like Michaels or in the craft department at Walmart/Taget... I also use a cutting mat (sometimes they come packaged WITH the razor cutter) to make sure my cuts are precise.
Ok Im in Archetictual Drafting so I do this all the time Foamboard is cheap but is very highly recommended for modeling what your doing for the walls. For the furniture you can buy Popcycle Sticks Big and small to use for the beds and even chairs. To cut use a exacto Knife it works better .
