Scale Model

What material is best for building scale-model houses?
I'm interested in building some scale model diaramas and want to know what I should use to construct the walls and such. My initial thought was making my own molds out of modeling clay and pouring plastic, but I don't know if this is the most cost efficient thing. Any thoughts?
One thing that's important to me is sturdyness... it has to be able to stand up to things. Also, ease of transport. If I need to ship or move it anywhere, I don't want to have to worry about it breaking.
When I was in high school shop class, we had to build scale models out of Balsa wood. Its easy to cut and hold together. As I recall, it was also pretty cheap.
