I hadn't but I will do that. Thanks for the info :thumbsup

is there anything like Sintra available in the uk? TIA

For anyone in the uk - Found these pens today in Poundland. Thought they'd go well if someone was making a wrist/shoulder mounted mini rocket launcher - War Machine, for example. Or possibly a funky ammo bandolier. Oh, they're 10cm from tip to tail.

no apparent shrinkage so far - and the sanding does appear a little easier - I think having the glue bulked out gives the paper something to actualy grip against a bit more. I only really tried it because 1. I don't have any filler to hand and I'm impatient, and 2, Car filler/bondo etc, can be...

I don't know if this is something people already do when using foam, but I've only recently started so this is new for me. Something I do when making pre-cast models to fill small gaps is use a mixture of superglue and talcum powder. I decided to try something similar for my foam builds but I'm...

Can I just say a massive thanks for the tip - I've got some and it's perfect. Clean, easy to use and sticks like poo to a blanket. :thumbsup

also have a look at Hindleys.com they have a good selection

I'm sure you'll pick up enthusiasm for it again at some point. :thumbsup

No idea why, just try accessing Hindleys.com via google. I got my order in two days so I know it's a legit site.

If the mods will please delete this is inappropriate but I've found this place in the uk that has pretty good prices on Plastazote foam. Not tried the 12mm but I've had a couple of sheets of the 6 and 3mm for accenting. Delivery was very quick too. I have no connection at all with this...

I know I'm probably late to the party on this one, but looking at your two suggestion on glues, the tube of evostick (second link) is identical to UHU, which you can get in any £shop in the uk

Thanks. I did look into that but I can macgyver a jig saw for that. I think I'll save up some money and invest in a decent belt/disc sander - from what I've seen that'll be one of the most useful tools :)

many thanks. It was just an idea and I though I'd ask in case I was missing something. My initial plan was a blade so thats the way I'll be going. Thanks for the advice. Much appreciated.

I'm abaout to start some costume making using the ubiquitous foam mats. I was wondering if it was a. possible and b. beneficial to use a hot wire device instead of a knife/scalpel of some sort. Thanks for any info/advice/warnings.

Re: The Eighth Passenger I am totally Blown Away by your skills! Seriously, I can't believe how quickly you do this either!
