Is there a book or video that uses foam for layout building?

The Kalmbach video "Scenery made easy" uses foam for the layout. It's available as a stand-alone VHS tape, or on a combo DVD with "Airbrushing made easy". I have the DVD, and both are great videos; well worth having.

Woodland Scenics has a booklet and video on using foam. Granted, it is geared to their products, but, a lot applies to using just plain foam.

There have also been more than 20 layout construction articles in MR over the past ten years or so that highlight foam layout construction. Do a search for "Bill Darnaby" in the index (above) and call MR for photocopies of the articles you want.
