I've found foam core a very versatile material for making buildings whether it's for 12mm, 20mm or 28mm. It cuts easily, is light and yet is very sturdy. I've put together a blog post on the various ways I've used it which you can find here Scratchbuilding with foam core

Nice work. Foam Core is my go to for terrain building.

Great stuff and beautiful work TP!

When scratch building, things like infantry stand capacity [their ground-scale footprints within the rules used] can be automatically matched/regulated, by such things as your walled-enclosures here – nice job.
