Sixties Sam Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 I've used 3/16" thick foamboard for walls on several dioramas. It's easy to cut with an X-acto knife and a metal straightedge. It takes paint well, or can be covered with brick paper, and it's fairly cheap. I use cheap underlayment 1/4" plywood for things like garage floors and sidewalks.

Sam Pretty much the same stuff I use too . I'll use .060 sheet plastic for a floor and generally 1/4 inch luan plywood as a base material . You can apply Bondo over the wood and over Foam core too for texture and terrain ............ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
