The tools are very well designed, ergonomic. What should be designed next is a clamping device for the straightedge, similar to the types used in woodworking. Incorporating a small battery operated laser line would be nice too.
A foam core board model is 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 the foam core board and material sheets from the kit.
I've started using this stuff like many people, for props. for costumes and the like. I was considering buying the tools mentioned... till i saw the prices. to which i realized its easier to get my stuff cut from the sign shop i buy my plastic from. $50 for ONE tool. crazy.
The tools are available from www.foamboards.com.au and I'll be putting up a Free Resource Kit soon so International viewers can grab the links and resources for them locally. We have a foam boards modeling course on the way also.
Hi James, you should be able to buy foam board sheets in Europe and the UK. The tools should be available but if you are having difficulty I have placed a few links to international suppliers on the foamboards blog. See the link from the foamboards channel. If you still have difficulty shoot me an email via the contact form on our website letting me know your requirements and I'll see if we can help.
Hello i have the same problem but i also might have possible a solution instead of using both blades on v groove tool use only one, then cut from one side of V, then flip and cut on the opposite side, that way u will make sure that both diagonal cuts are exactly the same angle and depth. the problem with v groove tool is that both blades arent exactly aligned to the point where the tips of the blades meet each other but are slightly of and that why you get two different angled cuts and two different depth which leads to rounded corner instead of them being sharp hope that helps
