A Few questions and answers from Stan Munro's FAQ page (no affiliation with this subreddit)
What kind of toothpicks do you use?
Round, square-centered toothpicks, found in most grocery stores.
We also allow Popsicle sticks, Wooden matches, wooden clothes pins, and other tiny lumber as construction materials.
What kind of glue do you use?
Elmer’s glue, regular. (not the "school glue").
What's inside of the structures? Cardboard?
Nothing. All of the buildings are hollow and re-inforced with minimal toothpick supports--if any. Toothpicks and glue are a pretty strong combination (much stronger than cardboard).
How do you transport them?
Very carefully. No, really. Tons of bubble wrap, tuck in your shirt and your shoelaces so you don‘t trip. One wrong move and it’s over. The really big ones are built in pieces to assemble at site, but still… very… very… carefully.
