I have an assignment for architectural history which requires me to build a model to scale a place I chose beforehand. I picked the Chateau De Maisons outside of Paris. Talk about a house with enough details that could make someone jump off a building. I've mapped everything out on the base and am in the process of cutting the pieces. Attempting to keep them together and solid has been an immense challenge as my glue won't hold and my room is very small and hard to place things in to dry. I'm using elmers but i was curious is rubber cement would be better. The material we're required to use is musuem board. Everything is on a 16'' scale in comparison to the real thing. The details are so small and minute it feels impossible.
Does anyone have experience with this type of thing? Any suggestions, hints or helpful websites that maybe offer more tips. I'm a first year architect student at TTU, this is my first model project with such demanding criteria.
