bjs.09-00 Im still roking on getting the plasticard... can't find anywhere that has it but a 3 hour trip from here. the cards were in the bag to begin with, i just haven't cleaned it out. the actual cardboard i will use has the same strength, but is more akin to notecards, or the boxes the minis come in. I plan to use black spraypaint, in many many thin coats to achieve a nice coat, then finish it with a matte sealer before using my paints. Alright, but my point remains. Even with spray-primer, you're likely going to find the cardboard warping on you, most annoying thing ever.
Another material that is great for scratch-building is spackling. It's usually available at any Home-depot style store, and it's cheap as anything. You can shape it really easily, and it's moderately light and can be painted.

I understand what you mean, and I meant not to try and disprove your point, but was trying to say that it wouldn't be easy, but i would much like to get some plasticard/some other modeling components. I will try, and hopefully the mini will be the better for it. I try to not come off as too gruff, hard to convey my joking-type voice with text. perhaps I should use more emoticons. I meant to just state what I have to work with, and you have offered a solution and for that I should be thankful! lol
