Inside of a paper house

Looking at one of the houses from the bottom. You can see the thin styrene sheets I used to reinforce the walls and roof. After I put it together, I used styrene square tubes in each corner to reinforce it. The tubes are a pain to cut with a scissors, so next time I plan to use an L brace instead.

Paper houses from IanH's designs

I put together two of IanH's 6mm Cognac paper houses. I printed the house, cut out reinforcements for the walls using thin styrene sheets, then glued the paper to the styrene sheets using rubber cement. After I put it together, I used styrene square tubes in each corner to reinforce it. See the next picture.

For the roof, I reinforced it using two really thin styrene sheets on either side of the roof, then glued it to the tabs I left from the paper around the walls. I am not satisfied with how the roof went on and need to glue them better in the future.
