must admit that I’ve seen the promotional material for these cricut things and it did look tempting.

However as @shingen says you really need to have good use for the stuff they can do in order for them to be worth the money, which means that you’d have to be scratch building a lot of things that need repetitive detail. Then again … if you don’t have such tools then you won’t even think about doing that kind of thing. So the risk could be worth it.

I also think that you might want to use 1mm styrene sheets for the overal shape of buildings and then do the finer detail with either paper or extra thin styrene sheets.
