I only started diorama building this past December when my fiancee wouldn't let me put my Arctic Cobra Set in her precious Christmas Village.
So I built a winter wonderland of my own. So now I'm going to do another. Galactica CIC as the PIT. Now my question to the people who have worked with foam is there a way to cut it cleanly? I tried an xacto knife but it wasn't perfect. |

You can try using a hot knife and a ruler. Just be very careful and use a mask. That shit stinks.
Try using Extruded Polystyrene (pink insulation foam) from Home Depot. That stuff is very dense and if you cut half of it with an xacto knife, you can usually snap the rest of it off. They sell it in all sizes from 1/4 inch to 2 inch. And pretty cheap, too.

My step-dad built a Styrofoam cutter. He ran a current through a medium gauge guitar string that he set up with a transformer and a rheostat. You turned it on and the string would heat up and slice through slabs of foam like butter.
We played with it all the time and you could do some very intricate carving with it. |
