I've seen some great stuff using foam board. But durability? They always seem too fragile for my tastes, why I prefer resin. But very nice job – love how you painted this.

Once foamcore buildings like these are framed and there is glue all over them, they get surprisingly tough. Also, if you accidentally drop a Conflix building on a hard floor you will get a shattered building. Drop the building Pijlie made and it will probably bounce back up into your hand.

Foam board is quite durable. Bonus compared to resin is that is is also very lightweight.

Like stated above, the building is very light and you could drop it from a building without any great risk. Foamboard combines the strength of wood with the weight of paper.
