New Treadwell Build

[deathproof]

Wow! I don't think I've ever seen foam core that thick. Is that half inch? Does it take multiple passes with the utility knife to cut through it?

Yes it is. I got introduced to it when I was trying to build a scale Sandcrawler about 10 years ago. I actually had no idea that it came in thinner sheets until recently. I got mine from an art supply store. (Michael's)

I can usually get it cut with 2 passes. The one problem with it is cutting it straight. My aging hands aren't so good at that so I sometimes get angles, like such:




Instead of a straight cut like the top, I get it more like the bottom.
