I needed an 18" bridge high enough to accommodate my double-stacks, so I scratch-built it using basswood and styrene.  I started by drawing my plan on posterboard and then cut all parts and glued together.  I also used brad nails for the cross-sections for added strength.  After assembling, I sprayed with Rustoleum silver and then added touches of rust.

To answer your question .. my buildings are all made out of cheep 1/8 inch paneling with printed paper glued on.

The building is sprayed with matt finish clear to seal the paper before the windows and doors are glued in place.
