Title: Cellfoam for scribing buildings and other terrain
Post by: S J Donovan on April 21, 2012, 05:13:10 AM

I am not sure if this has been brought up before for those of us in the US, but I found "Cellfoam 88" by Midwest Products Co. at a Blick Art Materials store.  The foam has a smooth flat surface, comes in at least two thicknesses 1/4 (I think 4 sheet pack) and 3/8 inches (2 sheets for $4.76), and 11 1/2 inches square.  This material eleviates the need to strip the paper from foamcore. The sheet is easy to mark up. Midwest is also a supplier of scale balsa wood.

Sounds like the Depron foam sheets I've recently come into contact with here in Australia.
It's fairly ridgid for a foam sheet and very easy to work with. Just finishing up my first building now.

Sounds useful.  I'll have to check this out.  Thanks for the heads up.

Yup it's the same as depron sheet which here in the UK is available from antenocitis workshop
