Trchnique - How do you cut out foam
Posted by TheMongoose on Monday, October 12, 2020 5:54 PM

Having done a few sea bases for ships now I have to wonder if my technique is doing things the hard way haha? ive read a few posts where people say "lay the waterline hull on the foam, trace around it and cut it out". So i did that...and it always seems there are both gaps and tight spots along the hull. More cutting and fill the gaps with gloss gel and move on right. Well this taper, maybe overhang is a better word, on the King George V has me stumped! 

Share with me your technique and trick to mark up the foam and make a clean cut. Thanks!

In the pattern: Scale Shipyard's 1/48 Balao Class Sub! leaning out the list...NOT! Ha, added to it again - Viper MkVii, 1/32 THUD & F-15J plus a weekend madness build!
