Bandua Infinity Train - Large terrain piece
Foam Bits Post 2
So apparently the internet won’t let me do posts with more than a few pictures, gotta post these entries in smaller bits. Sorry!
After getting the foam bits in, I made up a mix of 50/50 White glue and water. I then applied it very liberally to the back side of the foam, and a bit less so to the front. I did this for two reasons:
First, I was worried about the train being handled and someone accidentally grabbing the foam and it popping out.
Second, the foam is obviously porous and I figured adding this glue to it will fill in some of that and make it easier to paint. Just a theory though, so I will see if it actually works later.
Finally, I added a lot more white glue to the top seam where the foam meets the MDF. I also did this to the bottom. I am hoping this really secures them in place. I did spread it out with a brush and cleaned up the bottom after application.
Here you can see the foam and toppers all in with an extra coat of water and glue. Have them hanging over the edge to avoid gluing to the table! Dog is clearly tired of me explaining how cool building terrain is.
The cylinders are foam? I thought that they were something else…. Ahhh, well. 27 days to go.
