	I don't know if it's better, but I merely use paper.  It's
malleable to form curves and paints well.  It's easy to cut as well.
Try to avoid fibrous paper since little "hairs" will be noticeable.

	I used to use thin sheets of plastic (from that company that
specializes in that -- Evergreen?) but it was tough to cut straight
lines (even using a straight edge and X-acto; the X-acto might still
drift on narrow strips) and they might snap when trying to bend them
into curved positions.

Has it really sunk in yet that as of January 20th, Mick Jagger
will be older than the President of the United States?
