Nathan, You should take a trip to your Local Hobby Shop and look threw what they carry the scale will look right to you when you see it. Its very hard get a feel for the materials and scale looking online. |

you should use .030 or .040 for your main construction and size down from there for more details. you should definately get the angle and maybe 2x4 type stuff and use either plastruct plastiweld or tenax 7.

you can just score it with an xacto knife and a ruler. then just break it at the score like drywall. really easy.
