Modelling material for cabinet shell models?

I think all the confusion is stemming from a misunderstanding of the word 'rough'.. As is it the model that is to be rough, not the scale.

I'd parse 'rough scale' as meaning close to 1:1, but not quite.

Turnarcades:

The models will be just scaled down to about 1/6 but will not replicate all the fine points like edge lips, control panel detail or anything. They will just be basically like creating a cube out of paper using a folding template (OK a little more detailed than that) and then lined up on pivoting pins along a 4 foot baseboard. This will sit on the table of my trade stand and be used to demonstrate cabinet size differences to visiting customers and can be turned round without being nicked. Something like this:

I made this from some 1/16" birch ply.  I cut it out with a laser cutter we have at work. It took less then an hr to cut it out and glue it together.  Worked well I thought.
