Hi Luis,
I have used Balsa wood for all my platforms. Because it can be cut with a sharp knife curved platforms are very easy to make. I cover the balsa wood with a very thin skimming of model filler in order to smooth out any imperfections before rubbing down with very fine abrasive paper and painting. Old type platforms with edging stones can be represented by painting and then scribing with a very sharp knife. Newer style platforms with concrete edges can be represented by glueing strips of plastic card onto the edge of the balsa wood and then painting.
