Foam Board Usage ExamplesBelow are a few examples of what you can create with 1mm or 2mm thick foam boards. ■Building Blocks The examples above were all assembled from the same square-shaped pieces. By changing how they are glued together and how they are assembled, you can create a variety of different shapes. ■House & Boat1mm and 2mm foam boards can also be used to construct model buildings, and the windows, doors, etc. can be depicted with various thicknesses to make them stand out. The boat model makes use of the foam board’s water-resistant and buoyancy characteristics. By scoring the board and slowly rolling it up, cylindrical shapes are also possible. ■Rose The petals are essentially triangle shapes which are glued to the base board at an angle to create the 3-dimensional appearance. The petals become larger as the flower’s spiral expands outward. Stems and leaves are then simply drawn in, and the addition of paint can result in an even more brilliant finish. ■Woodblock-Style Drawings After drawing your desired shapes with a ballpoint pen or other similar writing utensil, enamel paint is applied. Thinning the paint will give a watercolor-like appearance. Before the paint fully dries, use cloth, tissue, etc. to adjust the color tones as you like.
