chevyfever2009 Posted February 24, 2013 Posted February 24, 2013 Im wanting to try and build a diorama building (garage) whats the best easiest way to build it like materials or better to use than others
Sixties Sam Posted February 24, 2013 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

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 ............
