I recommend you cork with one of the sides with glue, so you only have to remove the protection sheet and put it on what you need to reinforce.
At first I used a non glue cork and I had to apply glue to one side; once glued and dryed on the facade of the building, this was not uniform. It had bumps because the glue was not applied evenly.

This is my second building: HSBC Bank Building, NYC

These are the steps I followed to built it. Soon I will show you the final result with all the pics and the last video.

corrugated cardboard (just about every shipping box ever used in the USA) is a good free alternative. - J

Oh I'm very excited about this. I have been on the search for a set of constant scale buildings to make a city scene, but all the other websites the scales are all over the place, and what makes it really hard to deal with is that they don't have definitive printing instructions/ dpi to print at directions to get to the specific scale. Even models that clearly state "1:1700 scale" come as png files and if you don't match the correct dpi/pixel size/dpcm you messed things up.

I'm looking forward to a good collection of constant scale models. I really like your size select too, 1:500. Its much easier to size down than to size up, so you have allowed the builder to easily print at smaller scales if they want to (4 to a sheet of paper ==1:1000, 9 to a sheet of paper == 1:1500, etc )

give it a shot. its very stiff in one direction, to make it really stiff in the other (if you need to,) glue a second layer with the "grain" at 90 degrees.
