Depends on what your goal is. If it is to make a convincing miniature of the prototype than any material that can be used should be used. if your goal is to make an all paper model than do so. if you are purest that means you would not use a clear canape.

My builds are multimedia models they are built with small amounts of wire, unprocessed paper (AKA wood) and some metal. I do not use any plastics simply because its to difficult to glue. I used to compete in IPMS competitions and have many second place, third place and even a gold award competing head to head with plastic models.

We have a member (DTO) who has taken a first in a IPMS national competition. The model used some wire.
