I would recommend Hydrocal plaster, it's lightweight but extremely strong, been used by Model Railroaders for decades to make lightweight hard shell scenery. See my discussion here.. Also school kids white glue, Elmer's is one brand, diluted 50-50, plus toilet paper or Kleenex style tissue can be used to make pathways, roads, trails, etc.

I almost did that but chose a '65 Mustang instead as more practical. If only I knew then ....... -

Micromark Micro Miter box super value. Includes wood handle, saw blades and miter box. I have one and I find it very good for small work. -

S scale came out sometime around 1948-1950 and I believe was introduced by American Flyer as the first 2 rail DC current model trains. My Dad had O scale 3 rail with I believe an AC transformer which required a rather clumsy method of reversing direction of the engine. Sometime after 1948 he sold his O scale railroad and bought American Flyer S scale with 2 rail track which he said was easier to wire. I was a young-un then 😉😇. He later sold the American Flyer and bought HO scale. He still had his layout at age 100.

I started my N scale when Rapido first brought to the states around 1967. Still have all the original track, switches, etc, plus rolling stock. My layout was dismantled to make space for my son's HO scale US1 Trucking set. We go to ride the D&RGW Durango & Silverton narrow guage back in 1977. Built a card stock and wood model of the Rotary in N scale. Will be following along.

About the NRG
If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
