A Stanley knife or scalpel and steel rule is needed for neat, straight edges also something to make the creases. The next model, I will use a combination of both - less expensive.Īs for building them with children, patience will DEFINITELY be needed.

It took us about 3-4 days in smaller doses, perhaps 8 hours or so in total. The end result is nice ( see attached pics ) but this is definitely not the cheat options. I kind of thought this would be the “ cheat “ option, to spare myself from endless hours spent with cardboard and haphazard internet printouts. I bought this for my sons school project about Roman building.
