Architectural Techniques

Desktop Modelling

This guide introduces the essential techniques for creating desktop architectural models using card and foamboard. It covers setting out elevations, cutting clean and accurate components, and applying printed details with spray mount. Clear instructions explain how to glue card edges using PVA, form strong foamboard joints with UHU contact adhesive, and produce neater corner connections by removing the foam core. The guide also outlines how to cut and apply fine card details such as window frames and stonework, helping modelmakers build crisp, well-finished miniature structures.
