Foam cutter for making buildings
Also, what Battle of Berlin wouldn't need a Reichstag to complete the authenticity. This beauty took about three evenings to make and it also comes apart for storage and transport. It also gave my daughter an A is Greek history class in 5th grade. Little did those people know what it actually was I used wedding cake columns for the front and everything else is foam. I have learned that coating the foam with drywall mud makes them smooth and easy to sand. Also, makes them more durable and heavy which helps with wind. Wind will knock them over without a good heavy base. Just a skim coat of mud makes them heavy enough not to get blown over until the wind gets to 12 knots. I have lots of other foam targets too. I will slowly post them here as I get time to resize the pictures to fit this website.

That’s great work. I used to use an electric kitchen knife for my slot car scenery. A bit messy.

Re: Foam cutter for making buildings
Here is some of my buildings on battle day. Everyone loved the large amount of buildings. The scale seemed just about right. The Reichstag should obviously be higher up on a larger foundation but it looked great.

Very creative and ingenious engineering. Helps bring the models to life with a detailed surrounding.
