i have found a way to hybredice my building construction (between styrofoam, paper cut  and modeling) for easy mass produced building and with a high level of randomization (no home build building are the same) with a simple use of standard parts

raw materials
1: styrofoam to make the basic shape of the building ( I use 100mm thickness for building
2: a paper copy of the old sm2 building (made in to a strip of wall)
3: emperator towers, dome and other bits and bobs
tools
1: hot knife for cutting (i use a proxxon desk model but any will do)
2: a sharp knife
3: pva glue
4: airbrush (if you are going to make a lot of buildings this is a most (i found mine in a DUI store for 19£ and it can use can or compressor i use the latter))
5: codex gray or similar color

presider
1: take some styrofoam cut to the desired shape of the building
2: glue towers on top evt. also a dome and some smaller pieces of styrofoam or other bits
3: spray the top with your air brush
4: glue the paper sides on
5: be amaised how quick you made a decent building
6: repeat

picture of my first building using this hybrid construction technic (my apartementum  habitatus) will be uploaded here some time tonight bravo time

Yep, that is a great idea  :yay:

One small thing, the warped glueing of the paper to the inside of the quadrangles spoils the effect a bit.
