Building Foam board Models Making House Scale Model PART 4

[@dididiederiks2868]

I am new to foam board cutting. I’ve found the FoamWerks cutters and rail but wasn’t too reassured using it. Watching your video’s help a lot and I have a clear understanding off how to measure and cut. Thank you very much. And since I had tons off the double sided tape, it was a brilliant welcoming bonus to learn I can use it to adhere the foam boards.

[@Foamboards]

Thanks Ellen for your positive comments. I'm working on a course that dives deep into scale modelling for architecture. It may be a little while before launch but your gratitude keeps me focused on producing quality products. Thanks again.

[@michelefisher5171]

Oh I would love to be a part of your course. Where and Shen is it?

[@JudiChristopher]

Many years ago, I was an Architect (no computer help at all). I wished I had Foam Board when I designed houses back then... Seeing it come to life really helps. Great video.

[@Foamboards]

Thanks Judi, Most of the architects I've spoken to comment on the importance of basic skills like drawing and model building to help develop concepts. Foamboards are an easy material to work with and make a good white model quite quickly. Thanks for your feedback. Kind regards, David Schummy

[@Khether0001]

3D physical models are like riding on horse back, at a time it was an extraordinary and vital transport, but today you must do it only for the sheer pleasure . I do architectural 3D computer models for a living and a lot of 3D physical models for sheer fun, but I would shot myself in the head if I had to show this kind of model to my clients who don't know what they want, they want realistic details, illumination and thousands of changes

[@manelcosta4983]

Great video and i like a lot to do some models. i,m not a pro or amateur but when i can do something i try to do some garages models for friends becouse i have a accident 10 years ago and i burn 26% of my body (my both legs and rigth arm and a litle in face) and i,m a neuropathic cronic pain in 8/9 in maximum of 10. my problem is cut the peaces and making the corners and you show the nice cut tools to making a very nice corner and covering everything. great work and continue becouse i like and lot of others like too.

[@Foamboards]

Thank you Manel for your comments. Hope you achieve some good results and get some relief from your pain. Keep well. Best regards, David Schummy

[@moimeme1928]

I have plenty of core-board and I have many houses I've designed. I need products like the ones you used.

[@Foamboards]

The tape used in the demonstration was the Foamwerks 5003 tape...but you could also use the ASAP white hinging tape or Neschen P90 works well. I'll be putting up a Free Resource Kit very soon.

[@aronnochowdury4082]

Foamboards Nice! A dying technique once the 3d printer gets more common. I also found helpfull for scratch building model railroad structures is Elumpa Railroad Buildings Alchemist - if anyone is interested search on google.

[@mamunurrashidsojib7866]

Foamboards I like the video, the ideas for making model buildings. Another resource I found useful for making model buildings was; Elumpa Railroad Buildings Alchemist -give a google search if you want it.

[@JohnSecker]

Foamboards Is that 5003 tape the wider stuff, or the 5mm double sided tape you were using to join the boards? I have been trying to find the narrower double sided tape but without success.

[@karlmarsh7175]

I need help with finding that floor plan

Brilliant design with foamboard

[@Foamboards]

Thanks CottonCandyCorner hopefully we can make an updated HD version. Glad you liked it.

[@Foamboards]

Hi Mica, If I was making a monolithic dome in foamboards I would try printing 5mm cross sections of the dome or plotting the cross sections onto the sheets and then cutting each out and bonding together. The other way which I've tried but only with arches is to heat un-coated foamboard with the paper removed using a heatgun with the board laid over a template. If you were actually to build from concrete you could create the dome using soil and then apply concrete+rebar excavate dirt afterwards

[@Foamboards]

Hi Archie, the cutter at 6:14 was the straight bevel cutter. You can flip a block to make it either 90 or 45 degrees. There are a few tapes I use including the Foamwerks white tape, Neschen Filmoplast P90 and the ASAP white hinging tape also works well. I've just been making some model jet fighter planes and I found that a hot glue gun is really good to use also. I would recommend giving the hot glue a go also as it set up fast and solid, Best regards, David Schummy

[@amitavamanna2696]

I am 60+ but your work reversed me to my schooldays. I was addicted to scale models.

[@FakaeTuador1]

Amazing process of work sir

[@Foamboards]

If you are referring to the board the design is made from it is a fine polystyrene cored and paper faced board called foam board, foamcore or a brand name fomecor. I sell it in Australia through our foamboards website. It is used by graphics and signage industry along with a whole range of industries who need a light-weight flat board that is pure and easy to cut and shape.

[@Simphome]

cool! This looks easy but I'm sure it's not. again, you are so cool.

[@Foamboards]

Thank you! 😊

[@carlosantoniomolina4388]

Me gusta...Mil gracias por la informacion, por compartir sus conocimientos...exitos amigos.............

[@jeanettetuhi7973]

I’m a keen novice thank you for your talk about the scale very helpful.... having the right tools helps for finished product looking awesome thank you 🙏

[@Foamboards]

Sorry for not replying to some of the comments. We've been pretty busy and Google just changed the comment structure around so will try on another browser soon to see if I can get back to the ones we've missed. Thanks everyone for your feedback and questions. Kind regards from foamboards Australia

[@ArmandoFlores-sz6lp]

Good idea. Nice work thankyou 👍💯

[@Foamboards]

Thanks Armando. Your positive response inspires me to make some updated new content. Thank you very much. Kind regards, David Schummy

[@TheDcraft]

I have subscribed. I've seen a bunch of modeling channels, some great, but I've never seen anyone make foam board modeling so manageable. The tools you use seem awesome.

[@Foamboards]

Thanks Miezko. Best regards, David Schummy

[@AzhaarMahmoud]

Thank you very much I benefited from this information, all respect from Iraq . 🤍🇮🇶🤍

[@Perigali51]

Thanks a lot to show your works. I am looking and searching internet for these plastic t- holders. But neverwhere I couldn't find.

[@Foamboards]

Hot glue is good. All the aero-modellers use hot glue for speed and strength. It won't ruin the product. I recommend getting a decent glue gun that can provide a steady flow of adhesive quickly as some of the poor ones only dispense minimal adhesive which causes problems with the glue setting before positioning your pieces. Hot glue does force you to work fast but is that a bad thing? It all depends on the project and what you are making. I use combinations of wet glue PVA, EVA,double-sided,Hot

[@ClayClaim]

Your tutorial is so extraordinary!! I know how complicated it can be… Looking forward to see more work :)

[@Casahevo]

Cool to see you here simon

[@Jonzuber]

If you spray mount the colored landscape site plan to gator board you can use it as a base for the foam core house. It makes the house look a lot better.

[@jeremiahmirkovitz2834]

For a a house model, how thick a foam board would suggest? 3mm or 5mm? Also, for sticking walls etc together, does the tape has to be of the exact same width as the wall? If so where can I get 3mm tape? :-( sorry for the carpet bombing of questions, but Im literarily just getting into this whole thing! Kind Regards! Love your work

[@pezcakestv5673]

i recently used a 6mm for an architecture project and it was around the size of half a paper clip, i didnt really like the thickness id say go for 5mm! hope it helps

[@bentleycartiersdailyvlog]

i love those windows! there are lesser and lesser of these videos on youtube! U were the first one i found! #SuperAchievement considering ive needed this for 5 years, I've been trying to go back to school but never knew what this was called bc i learned in 6th grade! Thanks man! Loved the vid!

[@Foamboards]

Glad I could help!

[@MarionRussek]

wonderful video, right pace, easy to understand and quite a few great hints!

[@davidthompson3562]

Saw you use "T Piece for support of an butt joint in the foam board but cannot find them for sale anywhere, where did you get yours?

[@7mrst]

This is so awesome!

[@ellennpark]

it's really helpful for my team. thank you foamboards

How can I get blueprints for a miniature house 1:12?

[@Sweetearth1958]

I MUST have that tool!

[@fixaframe]

You can use a combination of foam board and cardboard, plywood, mdf, foam pvc and any number of materials to build your architectural models.

[@gaboaaa23]

hello, one question: If you make a bevel cut, should the wall 4mm longer? Because the beve, will be 4mm deep and then 4mm lenght will be missing right? For example: The wall has to be 10cm long. Then i have to cut the wall 10,4cm long, because the bevel cut deepnes is 4mm right? Or how do i have to messure this?

[@davidschummy106]

Hi Gabriel, Normally the external size is what you will work from so the dimensions will be the same. If working from an external measurement then for each mitered joint the distance will be equivalent to adding the thickness of the board for each bevel. It will depend on which way you prefer to work either external size exact or internals plus the allowance for the 45 degree cut deducted or added accordingly.

[@gaboaaa23]

@@davidschummy106 hi, i see. Thanks. This will be my first model ill make. You think on a model that is only about 35cm long the wall thikness of 2mm is good or should it be 1,5mm? I dont want the internal walls to look to thick.

[@katakwarvivek8670]

Nice presentation

[@goncaloribeiro5453]

What is the tool used in this minute?: 4:59 Thanks

[@Mica31479]

Thanks for the info and the vids.... I made a mock room model using what I had (xacto knife) and it came out pretty smooth, although I had to go thru many blades! Not to bad, but If I get the extra money I will definately be using your tools! Wow! What a difference that would make. How do you suggest cutting for round rooms? Not exactly a bevel but something like that?

[@Rlikeapirate]

hi first i'd like to say your video was very useful ... i think i'm looking forward to not needing to literally cry over making foam core models now :) (archie student here btw) secondly - i have two questions: 1) was the rabbet cutter you used primarily the same as the one in 6:14? if not what is the cutter at 6:14? 2) what is the tape that you used called? thanks a plenty!! :)

[@Ghettochild.2600]

Does a hot wire cutter work well with foam board? Looking into getting a Proxxon Thermocutter.

[@blazepham5220]

Kurt Hansen It could burn the foam core as the sides are just paper, but I don't know

[@SirKombabomba]

So beautiful-Thanks

[@rochelledepaiva4717]

Hi,what scale of the house plans are these?Ours is 1:100. is this 1:50?

[@Foamboards]

Hi Christopher, You can use pre-colored boards. You can print pantone matched enhanced matt papers and mount to boards before cutting. Paint works ok but printing is better in some applications. Adhesive Vinyl is good. It depends on how accurate a colour match you require. If it is for general appearance then anything goes but for interior designers a perfect match may be necessary and that is where combining profiled screens, scanners and printers is essential. Respect the design for success

[@Stre3tboyz]

Nice work man! Very clean work! :) By the way if I want to add colours, what do you suggest to do?

[@barra190kw6]

Thanks for the grate idea only guestion is how would i up scale the plane size for bigger dimensions

thank you for the ideas

[@VictorPerez-mc1xr]

very helpful!! thank you for making the time to make this videos!!

[@michaelg8695]

One more thing I wanted to find out. Well a few more things. Foam board is it only available in Australia ? Because I live in Trinidad . If I can't obtain it what would be a good alternative? Also if I wanted to add color could I use colored markers? Oh and I saw that you used laminate film for the windows but What else could I use as the glass shape I am trying to emulate is angled?

[@homedesign1269]

Foam core board models are good for constructing and studying the basic shape of the structure. But, if you want to see the actual building materials including siding, roofing and details, I recommend building with the 3-D Home Kit, which can be found online. You can also combine foam core board and material sheets from the kit.

[@amierazaidi]

What did you use to stick them together

[@Foamboards]

Double sided tape is the easiest along with PVA glue

[@sahilgajadhane3151]

Very very very very nice so much

[@KlineeLepardo]

Hi foamboards. I'm just gonna ask, is it alright to use hot glue ?? or will it ruin the work. thanks.

[@timico6]

This is very helpful!

[@Mica31479]

ok.... great work , understand how to do that type of house. BUT, do you have any tips or websites for people wanting to build a monolithic dome home? Styrofoam does not work too well, and the few places I found always want to go with geodesic domes. Any ideas ?????

Awesome! What is the scale factor of this model?

[@liebherrlr8816]

A question Are those walls made of polystyrene or plastic? Because I'm also going to make one .. I wanted to use cardboard but I doubt.

[@Foamboards]

The board is a paper faced foam board or XPS Foam sheet. You can also use cardboard and other sheet materials but the foamboard is light-weight and easy to cut and use.

[@Foamboards]

Hi Mint, I'm not sure who you could buy from in Malaysia but try some of the plastic sheet suppliers or signwriters.
