Tutorial: Cutting irregular bricks out of XPS foam (XXL, tabletop, terrain building, TWS)
More tutorials, techniques and tips can be found in the TWS books at
https://miniaturicum.de/Tabletop-Work...
In this tutorial, I'll show you how to cut irregular bricks in oversize: big, bulky and in XXL format for tabletop terrain, dioramas and model making! As material, I use rigid foam or XPS, also known under the brand name Styrodur.
