Buczynaski <br /> <br />Hey I did not use foam insulation on the whole layout bottom. I just used plywood and then Roadbed. I did not use any homasote. I did not feel I was really going to need it and I didnt. To cut the 2" and 1" foam Insulation I just used a retractable box cutter from Walmart for $.94. I have many of them because they tend to need frequent replacement due to the little tab to hold the razor out breaks. It is so very easy to cut and manage. Also I used WS tack glue for the insulation but for a fast setting I also used hot glue and they held great instantly so I was able to do work craving withing minutes of glueing. <br />Yes I am the dude with the Basketball court. That was a fun Kitbash you can call it. IWhen I was thining of building a B-ball court I figured there was a kit out there like a real B-ball court I played at. There was nothing but one that had dirt for the court. Very crapy. It was in the Walthers Catalog. So I decided to make the backboard and hoops and then do the court by just measuring the size and using smooth-it. I made about four sets of hoops and gave them away for free because I wanted other people to be able to make their own and enjoy it. I used the kid slamming the ball from WS people. He was actually kicking a soccer ball that I painted Orange and it was perfect in the position he was in to be slamming the ball. Perfect find.
