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.

[@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 🙏

[@judichristopher4604]

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

[@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?

[@MarionRussek]

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

[@Cottoncandycorner]

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

[@anonymouse451]

Absolutely fantastic. Thank u

[@ellennpark]

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

[@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

[@SolomonAsamoah1990]

The is Fantastic...what a great work

[@mauricioesteban95]

Con esas herramientas todo se hace tan fácil. Acá en Argentina no hay un carajo de todo eso.

[@hectorperez6293]

el blue print o plano que esta en la mesa se hace con algun programa de computadora?

[@frankiediaz3758]

[@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

[@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.

[@lilliangrace1872]

Dude, this is sic!

[@SirKombabomba]

So beautiful-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?

[@priscillajuit1998]

, ITS SOO NICE I TRY IT IN HOME..THANKS

[@jesusalbertoduartearzola6670]

Friend a question where I get the knife to cut the foam as you teach in the video ??? I am of mexico you tell me the name of that utensil ?? Thank you

[@citycobra711]

+Jesús Alberto Duarte Arzola hello. you can find it on ebay! is from foam werks (FOAMBOARD RABBET CUTTER) MODEL WC-4010 kind regards from switzerland

Amazing process of work sir

[@carlosantoniomolina4388]

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

[@reem_nassif]

Thanks for the great video :) I just wanted to ask if it is enough to buy the straight bevel cutter without getting the straight cutter?

[@moimeme1928]

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

[@Sweetearth1958]

I MUST have that tool!

[@goldenrose8254]

+Sweetearth1958 Hochtechnologie . hochwertiges Design

[@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.

[@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?

[@manjularukshan1176]

GREAT VIDEO.REALLY LIKE IT

[@ilCoccodrilloFenio]

Fantastico!!! Complimenti... Potrei sapere con quale materiale è stato realizzato?

[@Simphome]

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

[@Foamboards]

Thank you! 😊

[@usaisgood8433]

U just use foam boards & elmers glue?

[@meerhaiderali4262]

Exactly

[@user-zj9go1mu2q]

THANKS!

[@MRTRNgaming]

Heh, amazing! :)

[@Foamboards]

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

[@Foamboards]

Thanks Emme for the positive comment

[@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

[@ahamed.hussainhussain979]

good job

[@Stre3tboyz]

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

[@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

[@ReponBabu]

Hello I like this video, particularly your tips for ho train layout i think that it is very help ful

[@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.

[@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?

[@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 ?????

[@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

[@spoiled4evaami]

AWESOME

[@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!

[@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

[@barra190kw6]

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

[@appleshin6904]

ilove it much the video And i do my own house design.

Did not realize how old this is! 12 years. 3D printing probably has cut into this market…no pun intended

[@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.

[@ravibarath5652]

great work . just question that came in my mind that Can't we make these house with the help of 3d pen ??

[@katakwarvivek8670]

Nice presentation

[@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!! :)

[@chickiewidie]

May i know what scale is this? Thank you! This is so awesome :)

[@shanzabsarhandi]

its awesome

This video is very helpful.... thank you. What is the thickness of the foam board that you used?

[@Foamboards]

We used a combination of 3mm, 5mm and 10mm thick boards.

[@Foamboards]

Hi Sam, I've listed a few of the better books for architectural model making on the foamboards blog. The link is on the main foamboards channel page. Pricing your time to provide an adequate return is the key to profiting from model building. You should contact architects, and construction companies and try to establish a relationship. I would suggest copying a new construction and make yourself a video intro that you could send to the business. Show them your passion. Followup and don't give up

[@cansuguldagl119]

excuse me which material use to in model ? white styrofoam ?

[@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

[@Ghettochild.2600]

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

i need to build a model of an x-ray department could you offer me any advice as i dont know where to start

[@Foamboards]

Hi Michael, If you have a scaled printed plan of the layout you can just adhere it to foam board and start cutting out the layout. For any of the other components you really need to know the size and scale you are working to and then measure draw and cut out the components. Work from the base up. Break each section down into simple pieces and then assemble. Thanks for your question

[@EpicTvsRealm]

what application did u use to design that house?
