You can use plywood and put a layer of plaster over it and then sand it down smooth or carve it

Ah, balsa foam....wish our LHS carried this stuff, can't get it here in Victoria, which sucks. And it's a bit pricey for what you get, a friend managed to get some, and it looks marvelous!

I guy in another forum recommended this stuff:

And it is wonderful. Simply great to work with and carve

Although the material is different, the methods of attaching to bases should be the same. I usually use five minute epoxy to attach my buildings to the base. Same goes for attaching the sides of the buildings together.
My main material I use is plaster, which I simply use big lego blocks as a form, pour the plaster, let it cure, and cut and shape as needed. Walls can be scribed from either a dental pick, or the back side of a hobby blade. If you're using wood/styrofoam for your main material, you can use white glue to attach to the base. And, even use cork to cut individual bricks and glue them to the wood/styrofoam.

Yeah I use that it seems to be the best way that I have found to do that as well. I actually used styrofoam once and that seemed to be ok to but only if you dont have any other ideas.
