Might use balsa for a frame but would generally use foam board for the walls, roof etc. |

I'm not familiar with foam board. I've heard of it, but I've been happy enough with balsa and bass wood.
I also use skewers I buy at grocery stores for logs for cabins, bunkers, etc… |

Scored basswood is the best thing invented for scratchbuilding. |

When doing the whole go, I use wood for framing and for railings and the like. The structure itself is the cardstock buildings from various (much better than me) stockists like Eric Hotz and Paper Terrain. |

In addition to wood, I've also used styrene sheet, foamcore, and even plaster. It all depends on the building. Mike |

I build several balsa/bass wood buildings for use in Rail Wars some time back. I was happy with the results, but haven't built any sizable scenics since(only things like fences or dumpsters). Though about a month ago, I tried my hand at simple wood modelling. Working on a small carrack. |

Wood details. Foamcore is my friend. So is cardboard, wire, styrene. |

No, but that is one of the activities I want to try after retiring someday. Rick |

I use all the listed ones and the ones not under consideration for this poll, as well as other materials. And tons of trash miscelanea, too. |
| Baggy Sausage | 05 Jul 2012 1:40 p.m. PST |
I do for wooden buildings. |
| Dave Crowell | 05 Jul 2012 3:01 p.m. PST |
I use whatever seems most suitable. Since I game a lot of Ancient and black powder era hat means a lot of wooden buildings on the table. Bass wood and coffee stirrers make very quick plank and frame structures. |

I haven't, but would consider it for Wild West buildings. Of course, cardboard and foam core would be useful as well. |

Extensively in the past, Have largely switched to paper buildings which I use wood to ballast my paper houses by gluing the paper around. And have made the Gettysburg Cemetery Gate house completely out of wood in the beginning of the year.. |

I use wood for shoring up trenches and Mortar pits, but don't build buildings our of it. |
| Karellian Knight | 10 Jul 2012 8:20 a.m. PST |
I've built a medieval town using cork tiles, coffee stirrers & matchsticks. So yes I use wood to make buildings. |
