Andrew van der Merwe

this is where im at with two models of my power board module and my display console. the modules are blue foam covered with bog, this is one modelling tip, the console is a cardboard piece in the right arc that has also been bogged but not too well. tips:

>sanding blue foam with water and wet and dry will give you a much smoother surface
>blue foam cannot be spray painted or primed. ever. deliberately melting a bit of exposed blue foam using these is a worse idea. it doesnt stop melting for days and if you bog over it it will pull the completely solid bog down! its pretty extreme.
>always keep your sketches in front of your model and constantly refer to them otherwise you will be tempted to change the proportions as you go and end up with something that doesnt look as good.
