Well, James is right, the materials and skills you'll need are based on teh type of building you are going to make.

Here are some articles here on the site that outline a number of different ways to make buildings.

James, A good book if you are going to build buildings alot would be, Roy Porter's Model buildings Masterclass. It was put out by Windrow & Greene publishing. If you are not that familar with construction of buildings it will help you avoid mistakes so many make, myself included. Well worth it if you can find one.

Hi Matt if you're getting stuck for ideas why not see what resin/ceramic buildings are available then expand the dio outward from it
