You do realise those sheets are not cheap? Something like £32 each, so £128 worth. Mind you builders are notorious crooks so I guess it's Karma balancing things out.jigplums said:me and my brother "found" some foam on a construction site. 4 8' by 4' sheets![]()
Your normal polystrene is protected from much of the flaking by a coat of Roughcoat or a mix of PVA and glue to give it texture for drybrushing and the paint on top of that yes. And your terrain won't break as long as you're careful.Anphicar said:Soooo....i hear people saying they use styrofoam for terrain.
Isnt it easily breakable and flake-able?
Do you use some type of..sealant?
Does the primer and paint "seal it?"
I see giant mountains being constructed in WD issues with blue and pink foam, but it isnt styrofoam. What is this stuff? So many peopel call it insulation foam--but when i go to the harware store they only sell it in super thing huge 500x10000 foot pieces. And its doesnt look the same. :\
Can someone help me out! I wanna explore terrain-making!
it was funny walking down the street with these massive sheets and 3.00am. Funny what people leave "lying around".....behind fences.FrozenOrb said:You do realise those sheets are not cheap?

A coat of PVA and sand is usually enough to strengthen foam against general wear and tear. improves the look quite a bit as well
Erm... isn't that theft? :lol:The Son of Horus said:Go to a public park with several gallon-sized plastic bags, and fill 'em up with playground sand. Free is the best price, after all.
