It's just blue foam insulation for the home as I stated at the beginning. TRYMER® 2000 XP

The artist in the vid says the foam is used for large scale props and he has not seen it used for something that scale. I think if it was floral foam he'd says "it's the stuff they use for floral arrangements"

Extruded polystyrene, or XPS, is easily obtained in the US (and I assume other countries) as sheets of home insulation at local home improvement stores.

you can find good deals on ebay too

Check Randy Cooper, he just made one

I haven't tried yet myself. Gotta love inexpensive manufacturing "quality"

Mine are both raised off the board as in your picture.

WOOT! Very happy :)..now go buy from a good retailer :)

It is a nice kit. Overall they did a great job on it. I have all three 1/350 sitting behind me, the TOS, NX, and refit, all waiting to go

most model metal casting is whitemetal...its soft and melts at a low temp. It wont give you a clink though. Casting steel is going to be harder because of the temp involved

Phenolic is nasty stuff, wear a mask when cutting/drilling etc!

My items arrived today as well. I'll never buy from AW again.

you can get the quest jet from Randy Cooper

I have NO symapthy for R2/Autoworld on this. They created the 1701 club...that wanted those 1701 sales right off the bat (plus Standard kit and accessory packs) They had the same 2 years to figure out how the heck to bill and ship the product. They fell flat on their faces plain and simple...
