If you're going to build with cardboard, it may need a couple layers to withstand gravity on the long flat horizontal bits like the second story walkways. If you use corrugated CB, pay attention to which way the corrugation runs while you cut your pieces. It's stronger in one direction than the other. You can simulate bricks on the castle by gluing on small pieces of cardboard or foamcore. That's a good way to get window sills and arches, too. When you're assembling, you can add x-shaped pieces to the inside of any closed off areas to make them stronger. (like drink packaging.) And foam core is much nicer to work with if you have any. the edges are prettier and it's generally stronger than the average box.You can cover the ugly cardboard edges with sturdy paper and then paint it. A bunch of paper layers and glue can add stability. (Think paper mache, you need to cover the paper in glue and then stick it.) It also lets you do interior decorating by printing the decor and gluing it on. If you score a sheet of cardboard carefully, you can make round tubes of whatever size you want.like this ! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p7XKoArbVPo
