Agent Viper Legendary Offline --> Posts: 2,220 --> Join Date: Aug 2007	Question For You Dioramaers! I am wanting to build a concrete bombed out building, just wondering WHAT to use for it. I am thinking going with Styrofoam for it. But I'm kinda wanting to get a expert opinion before I start working. __________________ This is war, survival is your responsibility.

The fine scale modeling magazines are great sources of how-to and what materials are out there for a convincing look. __________________ ~~~{==========- Death at Midnight -==========}~~~

The smaller the foam balls the better (meaning tighter styrofoam). large foam balls will look to much like styro foam and will require alot of paint. Never spray paint styro foam it only melts it. __________________ Whos Da Masta http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jrXSWI0oWHg
