Since I have a nice new hobbyroom I decided to start a new build a few months ago. One of the most difficult part of thye hobby is deciding what to build. I choose this kit because it did not have any PE but I do have a update resin set from Blast models and some Master club tracks.

Off course I will be building a base. I bought a Proxxon foam cutter and let me tell you, this thing is so much fun. I cant believe I did not buy one sooner. Did I mention how much fun this thing is. :D :D :D

A small frame from Hobby Lobby and some blue foam. We will see how this goes.

First attempt building a window that is round at the top.

Thanks for looking

What a weird contraption :D Nice weathering on the interior!

Your foam diorama looks promising. I'm taking notes for my future projects :mrgreen:

Looks like great fun and and interesting kit too Shawn.

The blue board was a pain to sculpt, I believe.

It looks like you did beat it into to shape eventually.

Have fun with the figures

You are correct Steve. I had a hard time with the blue foam, but it looks really good with the primer on it.

Fantastic job on the base Shawn! I really need to try that foam stuff for myself.

The base is going to be spectacular Shawn. :) I'm interested in your experience of using the foam. Was it difficult?

This specific foam was not easy to work with. It was very spongy and difficult / time consuming to work with. Its just insulation foam available at the local hardware store.
