Cutting Foamboard

This guide introduces the fundamentals of cutting and joining foamboard for modelmaking. It explains the structure of foamboard, emphasises the need for a sharp blade to avoid ragged edges, and outlines the correct cutting technique using a metal safety rule and steady, vertical knife passes. The guide also describes how to create clean right-angle joints by removing the top card layer and foam core while leaving the bottom layer intact. These methods help beginners achieve neat, accurate cuts and professional-looking foamboard assemblies.
