New toy


Foam cutter for various purposes...

Haven't tried it yet so that should be interesting.

Initially got some 20mm polystyrene sheets as terrain bases. Going to be fun painting them without dissolving them :)

And also some 5mm foamboard to see if it's any use for making buildings or walls. Think I'm looking forward to trying to etch stonework on the surfaces...

This is the main reason for the 20mm polystyrene - see if I can add terrain around it. Currently, I have to have a big step...

  2. Industrial scale hot-wire? I'm jealous. Hope it all delivers as you wish, but do stay well ventliated.

    Looks like a useful device, there is a very interesting FB group, called Foam Plastic Modelling, or something like it. Beautiful stuff displayed by its members, lot of it useful for us.
