Looks great, but what kind of cutter do you use to cut those bricks so tidy, and how you you then make them so 'rocky' looking?

If that blue foam is the same stuff we have over here, I've heard the smoke from heating/cutting is very toxic, so I am hoping you ventilate well? :)

Standard Proxxon Foam Cutting Table, though I'm going to buy a foot pedal for it to speed up things and make it easier on my hands.

Same blue foam stuff as you have. All smoke is toxic, and if you are getting a lot of smoke you've set it too high. But yes, I use it in a ventilated area and never work on it for too long....not that my hands will let me anyway.

I'm amazed how fast I can churn out new scenery atm, even with my ...hand (haha) icaps.

Start with a block of styrofoam and a bit of MDF. Cough loudly once while waving hands in a magical manner.



Cough again.



Second sealcoat tomorrow, then 2 coats of base and I'll get to start to paint it maybe sunday eveingish...
Same for the wall, and the mini Me.

The machine as is....isn't so good. The guide rail is just cheap crap. I replaced mine with one from Shifting Lands and that makes the device great. Now I just need a dome cutter as well, and a foot pedal, so I can increase productivity even more.

Envious of your work rate...and patience...not sure I’d cut individual bricks, but the end result is very impressive
