Title: Cutting Foam Hills Tutorials
Post by: aggro84 on 25 May 2013, 05:11:53 PM

My blog mate posted a series of very detailed tutorials for making foam hills on our blog thingy:
He included a method he used to create a jury rigged foam cutter.  :D

Thanks for the tutorial. The hills look good. The hill in the first picture looks an awful lot like a Sd.Kfz. 251...

Thanks aggro84 for posting the links to your friends web site, good idea about using the Multi purpose soldering gun with a double looped 3 inch long copper wire and using it as a form cutter. Well have to try that with my Multi purpose soldering gun.
Saves having to buy a hot foam cutter.

Thanks guys!
I was really impressed with the jury rigged foam cutter myself.
