Is there a table that lists thicknesses of common paper weights to help with compensating for stock thickness? And generally, what's the preferred method of joining building walls? Tab glued to the inside wall at the seam, or a butt joint with a separate joining strip glued to the inside? I think I'm just about ready to start laying out the parts for Concourse A in Inkscape. As soon as I get that done I'll post it to have you and the others evaluate it... Concourse A is going to be roughly 15 inches long when completed. I'm thinking about putting a strip of wood (perhaps 1/4" square) down the inside to help hold everything in alignment and provide some rigidity for handling. |

sorry....I said I would finish it, but I still haven't! lol
Busy with other chores, and I haven't been sitting down to build things of late. I did a little more, but i still have about 7 more roof peaks to complete. They don't take long, just a bit tedious because of the scale. I also forgot to colour the edges of the roof peaks. (running a dark gray marker along the edges simulates the dark fascia on the real thing)

At a larger scale, it will be more pronounced. You probably could get away with a second layer, or a cheat piece on the underside of the overhang.

There is a small piece that goes under the front edge of each peak.
I put it there to create an aligning edge which can butt up against the vertical face. It also adds the thickness to the edge so it can be coloured (to create that dark fascia). To be honest, I'd print those underneath parts twice, and add a third layer. When you look at the width?thickness? of the real fascia, you can see two colours, two layers making up up about 10"-12" (250-300mm)of fascia. So, at 1/400, it should be almost 3 cardstock thicknesses (.625-.75mm) Unfortunately, at this scale, its just to narrow to add a real "fascia" (edge strip).

Also how do the 7 main roof panels attach to the walls? Tabs on the outside edges, glued to the inside of the walls? |

Tabs and walls attach however you design them to attach.
Just do it Design it the way you want it. I was just illustrating that its all flat panels, no domes, no complex assemblies, and no 3D modeling software required.
