Al, that's fantastic... I love all the different material you use for it : different kind of foam etc... BTW did you PVC foam (Forex) for the main structure ? I use to use it, it's great stuff for large structure, easier to cut with a hobby knife (even 10 or 20 mm thick plate) and lighter than styrene !

 

[IEDBOUNTYHUNTER]

Thanks Guys.


Julien it is a PVC foamed sheet. Sintra here in the US. great stuff. and its what the the studio used to make there betty.

Yes Al, Sintra ! That's very cool you're using the same stuff they used ! A friend of mine who works in the industry here educated me and gave me several sheet of this stuff. I used it in almost all my latest models, x-wing, rotj at-st, lambda shuttle and I used it for the wings of my y-wing, wonderful stuff !
Cant wait to see more progress on this one !

Hi, I was just wondering what you are using to get such nice cuts with your foam and what kind of foam it is?

 

[IEDBOUNTYHUNTER]

Hi, I was just wondering what you are using to get such nice cuts with your foam and what kind of foam it is?

Its a very Dense Urethane foam. between 15 and 20 pounds. and i use Chisels, files and sanding blocks and an Exacto.
