    I've had a couple of these 'Fair-Price' warehouses in 0 scale Ron, and they build up well with no problems, good price too! You could easily make up similar ones in foam board cheaply to add to them as I have.

    Have to agree with Keith here,
    I have used foam board for a couple of structures now, not buildings, and it is very easy to use.
    It might be worth considering Ron
    Cheers

    Didn't know about that show Ron, is it at the church where they usually have model exhibitions? Seem to recall Andy Sollis has exhibited there in the past too.

    G'day Ron,
    PVA or Hot Glue......the foam board is a card outer layer sandwiching the foam.
    You could use acrylic paint or enamel
    As with all mediums and glues.... it's best to experiment on off cuts first
