Dude you are my savior I have been doing cosplay props with foamboard and I had problems making round edges without breaking the foam, now I know another way to do it thank you so much!
I enjoy hearing you speak. I live in North Carolina. My dad was born and raised in Holland. He died in 1992 and obviously miss him, but it's nice to hear your accent. It's been years since I've heard a Dutch accent. Have a beautiful day ❤️
halloa :) I don't get comment like That often ;) Very nice to read you find the video('s) enjoyable to listen to offcourse! How did you actually wind up at my video / channel by the way?? Thanks for the comment and have a great day as well! :)
@@DutchRC I found you because I was hoping to figure out what I can put on foam core board Edge so that it's more finished looking. I look forward to seeing more of your videos. Have a great night.
@@ritawashere5787 :D :D the video didn't help you out much with that I'm afraid ;) I *DO* have 700 other video's but they are allso kinda in a Very specific hobby or what? :D
thank you :) I have actually simply spray-painted it (with paper on) but you need to spray it from a bit further away then you would really want, so that tjhe solvent doesn't get into the paper.. That works, but the foam will then not last for years anymore... (I used it on planes that don't last for years anyway ;) )
thanks :) Regretably That isn't possible with the kind of board I used.. For a shape like that, you would need the foam to be able to Stretch, and paper can't stretch..
Hmm I'm actually not sure what it's called in English.. over here it's called a "geo driehoek".. sooo.. "geo triangle"? you can quickly measure angles with it..
The RCAddict Thanks mate :) Ah well.. this video was basically especially for KINSHELLA KUSTOMS This kind of video doesn't really do much ;) People don't want to build things anymore :P
DutchRC ADVENTURES KINSHELLA KUSTOMS Lol, yeah. The new generation (me) is too lazy and has machines do it for them. I still want to try though as foam is super cheap!
My Question heroes, when should I or when should I not remove the paper from the dollar tree foam board? Do most people leave it on and use colored packing tape to cover it? Any tips will help ...thanks
I think experimenting with it a bit yourself would help you get a good understanding of the pro's & cons of doing so.. In short: removing the paper will make the board a lot lighter, but it will allso remove most of the stiffness of the board..
Just take the paper off from the inside of the bend and it will roll right around the curve easy peasy!! Whole lot less work, no measuring no drawing lines no scoring!!
Haha :D I can't even believe how many views this video gets man ;) Shot it for a friend, and... almost 40K views :P Hmmm is that less work? Ohww well.. I guess there are different ways :D
@@anatoliipahas586 well "pvc".. I have never build with just plain pvc.. I use foamboard as it is stiff by itself. Depron usually also needs carbon fiber re-enforcement.. but both have their pro's and con's :)
Dude you are my savior I have been doing cosplay props with foamboard and I had problems making round edges without breaking the foam, now I know another way to do it thank you so much!
There you go! Glad the video helped you out Alza :)
THANK YOU DUTCH! I NEEDED THIS FOR COSPLAY THINGS AND I CAN FINALLY DO THIS WITHOUT BREAKING THE BOARD INTO PIECES!
There you go! Glad it helped you out & have fun building :)

"Damnit. . . .
The Pressures of RUclips". .
That was Great. . Loved it. .
Very informative video. 💯
Hahaha yeah.. there you go ;) Fun to re-watch this awkwardness :P :D
Glad the video helped you out! :)
Wow depressing the foam!! Brilliant.. I have tried everything.. Heat knives etc. No mess and the material becomes stronger.. Thank you..
depressingly simple or what? ;) works very well & you're welcome
I'm very happy I ran across your tutorial. Your third demonstration making the cone shape was exactly the information I was looking for. TYFS!
I'm glad to read the video was usefull to you! :)
Thanks for the positive comment offcourse :)
Synchronicity or God???
Exectly what I was looking for... The roof of a fairy tale castle..
Thank you for the practical and not too technical (I such with numbers.) tutorial!!!
Thank you :) never thought this video would get any views at all ;)
Thank you for explaining this so well!
Thanks for the compliment! Glad you liked the video :)
I appreciate your ‘depression’ sense of humor.
Hahaha LOL.. you gotto when making a video about shaping foamboard ;)
Nice, clean, and simple. Thanks 😄
As the good things in life are ;)
Thank You for stopping by!
Perfect! This will make my project easier. Thanks so much!
Glad the video helped you out! :)
Great job my friend :)
Thanks for sharing and have a great weekend
ABMNS PRODUCTION Thanks buddy and have a good weekend yourself!
A T piece of wood put into drill stand and press into foam really great jig it would make. GREAT INFORMATIVE CHANNEL.
Good addition! :D thanks :)
Excelente explicación 😍😍😍👏👏👏👏👏
Thanks Ronny! Glad you liked it
Did he say I hope this was helpless at the end? 😂 Thanks you for the share.
Yep ;)
It's actually a reference to something but you'd have to have been in airplanes building a while :)
Nice demonstration and clearly explained, very helpfull, thanks Roeland :-)
Detlef Heine Thanks Detlef.. Quick and easy huh? :)
Cheers and have a good Sunday!
Detlef Heine nice
Excellent work !!
Very good video !!
sator rotas Thank you sir :)
Excellent demonstration you explained it all very well nice work my friend :-)
James Johnson Thanks James :)
Thank you Sir. This is very useful
Your welcome sir! Thank You for stopping by & commenting :)
Hey Roeland,
I would love to see you building a boat out of foam like FliteTest did.I
Howdy Nik :)
damn it's been a while man! ;) I did build a boat out of Depron several years ago.. does that count? :D
nice tutorial dutch well done my friend have fun RCing
Budget Guy RC Thanks sir ;)
You just gave me a great idea for my motorcycle thanks
You're welcome! HOW did you find this video by the way? :O It somehow shot up in views the last few months (and it's an OLD video :$)
DutchRC Adventures I was looking up how to shape foam and you're video came up
Check :) Thanks for the feedback!
Great tutorial mate! Really helpful :)
supermattJD Thanks mate :)
Nice...
thanks man ;) weird to see such a simple video get this many views :P
Now I can make a nice 3D passenger airliner because I reallllllllly think airliners look awesome. HobbyKing should make more planes like the DC-3
KoalaLover❤ Yeah.. Especially the older 'flying cigare' airliners can easily be made this way.
And I would like more planes like that as well :)
I'm trying to create an ho railroad using foam board thank you for the info!!
No worries Wayne :) Glad the video helped some people out..
Cheers and happy building! :D
The kerf sistem with the foam...fantastic
Ghehe ohw well yeah.. it's nothing spectacular but can surely be a usefull 'technique' :)
What the.. allmost 7K views.. how did That happen :|
Keep up the great work
multo gracias
Great video,
Have you found a good way to paint dollar tree foam with paper on or when its pulled off.
thank you :)
I have actually simply spray-painted it (with paper on) but you need to spray it from a bit further away then you would really want, so that tjhe solvent doesn't get into the paper..
That works, but the foam will then not last for years anymore... (I used it on planes that don't last for years anyway ;) )
Thank you nice tutorial,, if you have a heat Gun you can try heat the foam board until you think you can bend it....
Thanks x2 :D good addition.. I don't have a heatgun, but that Would indeed be a great application of it :)
i think that only works on porous foam like EVA and plastics like styrene
Nice one!!
BMSWEB Cheers mate :)
Thats a pretty basic bend like cardboard, thats helpful. But, im looking for a convex curve like a shoulder or chest plate of armor.
thanks :) Regretably That isn't possible with the kind of board I used.. For a shape like that, you would need the foam to be able to Stretch, and paper can't stretch..
What was that measuring tool you were using?
Hmm I'm actually not sure what it's called in English.. over here it's called a "geo driehoek".. sooo.. "geo triangle"? you can quickly measure angles with it..
Did you ever try to cut this pieces with a small laser cutter?
not personally but that IS being done.. Flitetest does this for instance
Very nice! I will refer back to this if I ever build a curved plane :D
The RCAddict Thanks mate :) Ah well.. this video was basically especially for KINSHELLA KUSTOMS This kind of video doesn't really do much ;) People don't want to build things anymore :P
The RCAddict ps: I just ordered an RCexplorer tricopter frame :)

KINSHELLA KUSTOMS No need to start swearing buddy ;)
KINSHELLA KUSTOMS I was just kidding mate :)
DutchRC ADVENTURES KINSHELLA KUSTOMS Lol, yeah. The new generation (me) is too lazy and has machines do it for them. I still want to try though as foam is super cheap!
what is the thickness of foam you are using in the video ?
this stuff is 6mm
Nice!
Then I would give it a shot with my upcoming foamboard rifle.
Thanks a lot.
Wow :D what are you going to be shooting with that rifle? :)
only for cosplay, bud :-P
Ohwww excellent! Very usefull stuff (and technique) in that case :)
My Question heroes, when should I or when should I not remove the paper from the dollar tree foam board? Do most people leave it on and use colored packing tape to cover it? Any tips will help ...thanks
I think experimenting with it a bit yourself would help you get a good understanding of the pro's & cons of doing so..
In short: removing the paper will make the board a lot lighter, but it will allso remove most of the stiffness of the board..
DutchRC Adventures thank you!
@@RCFlyer007 You're welcome Cliff :)
How to buy this foam board pls reply
very much depends on where you are in this world brother... in the states it is known as "dollar tree foam"
You sound like the son of Andy & Michael from the office
Haha :D never really watched the Office but know what you ment ;)
Just take the paper off from the inside of the bend and it will roll right around the curve easy peasy!! Whole lot less work, no measuring no drawing lines no scoring!!
Haha :D I can't even believe how many views this video gets man ;) Shot it for a friend, and... almost 40K views :P
Hmmm is that less work?
Ohww well.. I guess there are different ways :D
KINSHELLA KUSTOMS there you go sir :)
KINSHELLA KUSTOMS Ghehe well.. It's not a great video, but I think this technique came across clear enough ;) Thanks mate :)
Does he get to anything more than “Uhhh”, “Errr”, “Ummm”?
nope
Is this a PVC board?
it is not. Foamboard is "foam" but it has a paper backing on both sides
@@DutchRC suitable for assembling rc aircraft su27
@@anatoliipahas586 yes! I have build numerous airplanes with this stuff :)
@@DutchRC what is better to apply to build an aircraft depron, pvc.
@@anatoliipahas586 well "pvc".. I have never build with just plain pvc.. I use foamboard as it is stiff by itself. Depron usually also needs carbon fiber re-enforcement..
but both have their pro's and con's :)
Waar koop je dat foamboard ??:P
Randy Lachman Sommige kunst-ateliers verkopen dit.. En print-shops hebben het ook wel es.. Kantoor-boekhandel...
You know you said " hope that was helpless ". At the end of the video? :-)
Ruud Hahaha! Good call Ruud :)
Dave from RcSuperPowers offten slips that into his video's as well :)
DutchRC ADVENTURES Haha, I thought you did it on purpose again :-) Don't know him, I will check him out!
Had to stop seeing this his voice is extremely annoying!!!
don't let the door hit you on the way out :)
Hey Roeland,
I would love to see you building a boat out of foam like FliteTest did.I
