Update and Tip of the Day

I spent some time this weekend cutting out the Styrofoam in the shapes of the buildings for the diorama.  Since the Styrofoam is only 3/4 of an inch thick, I had to cut out each shape twice and tape it together.  I have a couple more  buildings to tape together, then I will be putting on the paper mache. 

In case anyone thinks about trying this, cutting Styrofoam is a big mess.  Keep your vacuum cleaner handy. 

Tip of the Day.  Use a scrap piece of Styrofoam as a sander block to knock off loose pieces of Styrofoam.  It will clean up a cut edge nicely.
