Corex Creatures
Corex available from the Scrap Store, is an excellent and versatile waste material for making models.
It can be worked in the same way as you would corrugated cardboard but it is light, robust and waterproof. The channels can be threaded with pipe cleaners or cut through on one side to form a hinge. Covered with tissue it will still let light through.
