Foamboat construction

Step 2 Model assembly

The model is assembled using wood construction glue, the component placing determined by the original drawing. Rubber bands keep everything in place until the glue dries. I use scraps of any rigid foam for the models, but when building fullsize hulls I buy white expanded polystyrene, one pound per cubic foot density. There is a factory that makes foam not far from me, for use as insulation in large industrial buildings by the truckload, but they will slice off sheets in thicknesses that I need, then I slice the batts myself. Foam is not something that is usually shipped long distances, so you can probably find a similar factory near you.
