Cookie cutter foam layout?

I used sheets of 2", 1" and 1/2" insulation board, cut with a hot wire and created blocks roughly 3" squares, cut my grades and stacked the blocks, glued in place with low temp hot glue. This is quite rudimentary but very effective and simple. I then made a cookie cutter deck with 1/2" foam, I had no problem getting it to flex, I even created a concrete dam for a resevoir. <br /> <br />For a hard shell, I used cheesecloth and drywall plaster, mixed it to my own desired consistancy. For any rough spots or uneaven elevation changes, add extra plaster and then sand smooth. Most the supplies are available at Home Depot and Lowes, and your local fabric store for the cheesecloth. <br /> <br />If you would like some pictures, email me at flyrotor@cableone.net <br /> <br />good luck
