Tips and Tricks - Save your styrofoam (large pics)

Just thought I'd pass on a few uses for that styrofoam that we will all be (hopefully?) seeing plenty of this Christmas.


This is handy for protecting the undercarriage while applying those last few details,
or, upside down for installing the U/C.

You can see how I fasten the styro together with toothpics.


This is great for applying decals or parts to the fuselage sides.

If you do this, I would suggest fastening the styro to your workbench,
perhaps with hotglue or fastened to a larger (more stable) sheet of styro.


I do this in between painting and decaling stages.

Cut the Q-tips at an angle so that they will pierce the styro.
I place them so that they will go up into the wheel wells.

Happy modeling
