Good for ruins, with it's crumbly texture, but probably not the best for anything intact...

Plastic supermarket cheddar is probably good. It's strong, flexible and takes superglue well. Although you'd need to run the grater over external surfaces first to get a bit of texture?

On this side of the pond, we are just informed by your TV and film documentaries, that all cheese in the US comes in a can.  :-&

It may be worse than that - we have American "cheese" (major application - bacon-cheeseburgers), it usually comes in individually wrapped slices, which have the density of tofu, the flexibility of an 18 year old gymnast and the taste of lightly seasoned styrofoam. I love it!

@Steve - just got your email that my order is shipped!

That's what has to be described as "cheese-like product" here where we (for the moment) have food standards that require food to be at least vaguely as claimed :D

I quite like it, but it ain't cheese...

For older houses in SE Asia I think Stilt-on would best
If I were creating Pendraken I wouldn't mess about with Romans and  Mongols  I would have started with Centurions , eight o'clock, Day One!

Well, just tried it and despite what you might think, cottage cheese doesn't work.   :(

.... maybe I used the wrong mould ....
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.
