    I say go with a scale house our a historical Building are maybe the easyist to make and get good marks on

    I made a house my self it was a modern house and turned out ok for me but would have been a lot better if i worked at it more

    I guy in my class made newgrange and it turned out pretty good looked just like it

    Do not make a item of furniture because you will be sorry because the amount of work you will have to put in on that is something else

    i too would recommend a scale house, balsa wood is a great material for making scale buildings. you can also use heavey card to make a trial version but definitely balsa wood for final project.

    tbh, I would rather make a small/simple piece of funiture that would get me good marks. But I just dont know what to make :(

    Sorry for the bump.
    What do the examiners look for when it comes to the projects. Do they look for size, quality or joints? Or neither ? :o
    The project im going to make is fairly small ( 18"X12"X19"(H))
