comment What is a good basic reference on model categories?
I really like the presentations in May's More Concise Algebraic Topology and Riehl's Notes on Categorical Homotopy Theory. The latter is freely available at math.harvard.edu/~eriehl/cathtpy.pdf

comment Stiefel–Whitney classes in the spirit of Chern-Weil
If you are interested in Cech-cocycles representing Stiefel-Whitney classes you could look at: link.springer.com/article/… I know that this isn't exactly what you wanted, but Cheyne's answer seems to imply that what you wanted isn't possible anyway.
