For a model that big, you definitely need wood to help reinforce it and combat warpage. Basswood is good for structural members as it is lightweight and strong, plus you can cut lightening holes in it. Balsa is less strong and doesn't have as much compression strength, but its tensile strength is great. What I would do is build the skeleton from basswood, then skin it with paper.

i tossed out the saucer i was working on, i have done it with the card board from 12 pack soda cartons but i think maybe card board i was using had gotten wet at some point in the past.
