Hi Gene

One of my favorite places online! Gene thank you!

 

Gene, SUPER WORK!

 

RE: foam cutting.  While reading your blog on foam prep this approach came to mind:

 

 

When slicing thick foam consider using a 6" taping knife.  Drag it along a desired line with slight pressure until it starts to slice.  You will find the sweet spot when it cuts clean.   I find multiple continuous smooth  passes as opposed to a sawing motion is best.

 

Absolutely zero dust.  Very clean face.

 

 

Gene has been an important contributor to the finescale proto48 movement since the late '60's and Bob Brown's "Finelines" publication. Their work has pushed the state of model railroading to the highest standard.

Hi Gene

I just added my email to your blog. You have a lot of great tips I can use. I want to try to build a car soon. When I get a gap in doing repairs.

Nice work

Thanks for the positive feedback on my blog and projects.  The tip on cutting foam board is useful.
