JonE,
all the materials are what were at hand in my flat.
Most of the model is mounting card, foam board and cartridge paper glued with UHU and Gorilla glue
As for wood, the chassis is balsa strip with a nosepiece from 1/4" birch ply. The steering wheel is 1/16" aero ply.
The cylinder block is a sandwich of 3 layers of 1/4" birch ply, the top layer also being part of the exhaust.
The exhaust is a mixture of ply, off-cuts of a Sherry box, some balsa fillets and some Tetrion filler tinted with acrylic paint.
All hand tools, mainly a scalpel with 10A blade, steel straight edge, piercing saw with fine and not so fine blades and some fine abrasive paper.
