Does anyone have any experience lighting a dollhouse made of Foamcore? I am trying to decide among 3 volt LED systems, and round wire or tape wire. Also the house will be 1:16 scale. It's a 3 story, 10 room wall house of my own design. Has anyone built a large project in Foamcore? Is the 3/16th thick, readily available Foamcore adequate, or do I need to track down the 1/2 inch stuff? Or how about a double thickness? I would really love to here from someone who has actually worked with Foamcore, not just conjecture. I live in an apartment so cutting out a house out of plywood is not practical. I have prior experience building kits and with the different wiring systems. I have also made a large house out of double thick cardboard before. I haven't ruled out cardboard as a building material, I just thought Foamcore might be more durable and nicer to work with.

Not sure how many of you use foamcore and what you use to cut it, but I just saw this Foamwerks cutter & book bundle on Amazon at half price: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GI07QQC/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A1JLS1XU3CI9F8 I'm planning a lot of curved sections in another project, so I'm going to try these out. I also ordered the V-cutter (so that you can bend panels without them cracking). This might be useful for mansard roofs and domed galleries. At least foamcore is more affordable than wood in Dubai!
