Awesome techniques. I’m making box nets at present and 1/74 scale buildings for a diorama. Rattle can spray painting? I cut my teeth on that back in 2008. Preparation is the most important step before the final coat. I’ve just finished four alloy wheels for my Honda. Everything is possible with a little practise and patience. Your videos give basic but important lessons in order to accomplish most tasks through the application of knowledge. Thank you!

[@tae-wookim7064]

Quite tricky but definitely helpful. Thanks a lot!!!😄

[@kausthubhtsr9636]

Thanks for the video sir !

[@ivanm.9097]

Thank you for sharing those incredible techniques!!! , very informative.

[@EricStrebel]

Thanks for your comment and support, much appreciated!

[@johnkelley9877]

The speaker looks great but I really liked the techniques you used to make it the best. I learned a lot from this tutorial and I appreciate you sharing your skills.

[@EricStrebel]

Great, glad you like the video. Feel free to share with the rest of the world on social media. Thanks for your support Much appreciated.

[@stephenstrebel8165]

Pretty cool.

[@johnkeller9290]

Thanks Eric, I'm an engineer.. and think like one. These videos are great - they've shown me a glimpse of another way to think and share ideas with my customers.

[@EricStrebel]

Thanks for your comment and support, much appreciated!

[@anthonywaggett9317]

Was looking to make a cosplay prop and I was considering a foam core substructure, covered with craft foam and finished with a latex coating. After seeing this video I now know it can be done, thanks for sharing, especially the tips about which types of glue to use.

[@EricStrebel]

Best of luck, post to social media when you have something @botzendesign

[@charlie1872]

I am a big fan and just watched this video; it inspired me to find some craft foam sheeting for use as my hull plating fir my Clyde Puffer (boat). Have had difficulty locating Plastikard so this might work.👍

[@EricStrebel]

Fabulous, good luck

[@goesbysteve]

Very glad to have found your channel and this video. Very understandable and I like the way you explain your thinking process rather than just saying what you are doing. It’s good to see a guy whose cutting mat looks like it’s been used! I find your voice very relaxing to which is a bonus! Would you tell me the brand of contact adhesive you used and which Gorilla glue you used to anchor the skin to the base please. Thank you.

[@dylanpocock8396]

Good stuff all helpful Cheer's

[@EricStrebel]

Thank you for your support! Much appreciated

[@3-E]

To make the speaker grill look even more authentic: 3d print a pair of dies to sandwich the screen in to form the rounded the edge

[@EricStrebel]

3E yes, I agree that would be a nice touch, just a bit more work than I want to put into the project. Thanks for your comment and very good idea.

[@BlackMagicCraftOfficial]

Hey Eric, really great video! Watching you soak the foamcore to remove the paper made me want to share a tip with you. If you are in North America you can buy a brand of foamcore called Readi-Borad by RL Adams. It’s designed to have easy peal paper. Comes off very easy, no soaking needed. Best part is you don’t need to order it from a specialty supplier. It’s stocked at Dollar Tree for $1 a sheet. Super convenient, I use it all the time Maybe you are already familiar with this, if so I’d love to hear your thoughts on why you don’t utilize it. Cheers

[@EricStrebel]

Yup, the cheap stuff comes of really easy. Thanks for the comment and support, much appreciated, cheers!

[@BlackMagicCraftOfficial]

For anyone else reading, not all cheap stuff. It’s just this brand specifically that is designed to be peeled. The paper is just there to protect the foam until used. So be careful with other cheap brands, it’s just that one specifically.

[@matthewhunter3141]

Ha I was gonna tag you in this Black Magic Craft but you’re way ahead of me

[@jdjagdish1]

Thanks alot your videos are great, even i don't like PU Foam (Yellow dusty thing).

[@EricStrebel]

Yeah, I really dislike that yellow urethane foam.

[@we4r119]

Would like more information on the glues you are using.

[@LindyDesignLab]

Nice construction method with the eva foam lofting over a solid base, but man that seam and the foam pores are distracting. Maybe smooth it all out with some caulking and/or wood glue before paint?

[@TonyAudi]

How may different glues can Eric feature in one video? ;-) Sure seems like hot glue was your go to choice in this one. Perhaps your views on it are softening?

[@EricStrebel]

I guess I did not realize how many different glues I used on this project Tony Audi, thanks for noticing and pointing that out to the viewers, the right adhesive for the task is key sometimes, nope still hate hot glue :-)

[@darrenwoolsey2906]

I have found that most contact cement will eat the the foam. What brand did you use? ...and is it safe for the epa and the foam in foam core? Glad I found your channel.

[@EricStrebel]

I think I used the well wood brand....

[@ZappyOh]

Honestly, I hand made models once ... now I'm always 3D-printing. Off course that puts some limits on my creative thinking, which not necessarily is a bad thing. I love how 3D lets me play a lot, before committing. Anyway, I should do more compound stuff.

[@kennethc.2921]

I feel you it takes so much time to sand those foam models and using bondo to fill the wholes was super annoying to deal with.

[@EricStrebel]

3D printing to early in the process is definitely limiting your creativity, you are also loosing the tactile feedback and hands on time that you get from building a model.

[@BrianBoniMakes]

I'm 3D printing models too but you still have to block and sand and finish if you want it to look like anything but a 3D print. I even used some 3D prints as a mold for vacuum forming ABS and on some of them the steps were showing through and I had to put time into finishing the molds before forming another batch.

[@djsavage2421]

What kind of laser did you use please disclose full information regarding this so I can purchase one

[@EricStrebel]

You can watch this video about buying the right laser for you, link in the description of the video kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z3OsYq1meZtjpJo

[@bikermansl3]

Do you have a couple of orthography sketching tutorials?

[@EricStrebel]

Not specifically, but many of my videos employ that method.

[@eross21]

hi can you do scroll work in foamcore? i’m trying to cut foam in the shape of a guitar, but i keep getting flat edges on my curves, and undercuts with my exactoknife. any suggestions ?

[@EricStrebel]

The material can be laser cut, it smells and melts the foam, but it can be cut that way, yes you could cut it with a scroll saw or even a key hole saw. Probably would not look nice however.

[@eross21]

@@EricStrebel cool, i don’t have a laser cutter yet. i might try to cut close and use my oscillating spindle and belt sander to smooth it round. thanks for the help

[@reformlabs8742]

What brand of primer do you use?

[@EricStrebel]

I have added a link in the description for you to get some. Thanks for the comment and support.

[@reformlabs8742]

@@EricStrebel No worries! Great content, love it.. as fact i've seen all the Cardboard, Foam Core and other Basics and Advanced ect.. Only thing I have a little difficulty in is sketching.. thanks for the videos :)

[@rollingthunder4599]

What pencil, or pen, are you using?

[@EricStrebel]

Amazon Links in the description below the video for all the supplies and stuff. Your purchases support the channel to make more videos. Thanks for your support!

[@bobwatkins1271]

I didn't realize that Duplicolor is better than Rustoleum or Krylon. What are the differences?

[@KenN.OXN.805]

I looked at the duplicolor link you have on Amazon. I don’t see any foam safe statement. Does it work in foam because you use very light spraying? I know krylon has foam safe varieties. What don’t you like about krylon?

[@user-yk1cw8im4h]

this is just too much work for such a simple shape... I'd rather use blue foam for this type of things

[@EricStrebel]

Great
