Just recently I tried this brief experiment. I was ruminating on the possibility of a modular layout that would actually fit within the confines of my home, while doing so I considered the various methods for scenery construction, with a view towards the light and strong category. Naturally, fibreglass would be great, but there is no way I would be able to afford the quantity of resin required, not even the cheap resin! Thus I present to you, humble reader, an attempt to make a budget fibreglass substitute and test a few other materials along the way.
