Thanks for the help and good advice. Someone in another area gave me some good advice on the last problem. The advice is similar to yours with some slight variation. To make multiple copies of the same shape to stack the foam so it is vertical like cards in a card catalog at a library instead of horizontally like a wedding cake. Then make the first version that becomes the pattern and make the shape I want. His advice was to use thinner sheets of foam like 1/2 inch to get closer to a smooth shape. Then before I glue this together, separate the layers and copy them by tracing and cutting the layers of the other versions. The final smoothing of the shapes would still have to be done individually. This is the best solution so far because the profile is fairly uniform which is what I am looking for. Thank you for the advice especially the wire tricks. I've not done this before and look forward to beginning outside this weekend.
