Scenery Question

[jestor]

My Home Depot carries the 2'' thick pink polystyrene insulation sheets in the 4x8 ft size for about $25. This is the kind to use as it cuts with little mess and is quite rigid.  I use it for everything from base to building hills/mountains. I invested in a "Hot Wire Foam Factory" cutting and carving set years ago. It makes working with(cutting, carving) foam insulation a breese.  I am a big advocate of foam for scenery....you can build a mountain on your workbench (in my case, old kitchen table) and  set it on the layout when finished. Sure beats bending over the layout trying to work on it. Try it...I think you'll like it. Every Lowes and Home Depot in Georgia carries it, as it is a common building product.
