The Clever Models Kit
O Scale $9.95, S Scale $7.95, HO Scale $5.95, N Scale $3.95 – since you are able to print off as many as you need – which you can modify or extend .. I find it hard to beat the price. I don’t model HO but my friend Gary Wise does so I did this for him (after badgering him to purchase Clever Models kits) |
Foam Core REAR
Here, I have the two sides (low relief) and the front slotted and tabbed. The slot and tab construction is pretty strong and holds together simply by friction. Simply adding white glue makes it very sturdy. |
FOAM CORE FRONT
To cut the slots and tabs I simply held a piece of the Foam Core along the edge and drew a vertical line the thickness of the Foam Core on the model. You can see that pencil line along the inner edge of the slots. The horizontal cuts for the slots/tabs was eyeballed. Cut the slots out .. place the piece against the front and mark their position. This only takes a few minutes. |
FOAM CORE FRONT CUT
Just how far you go is up to you. This structure has two large industrial doors, a vent and a smaller personal door. |

COLOR & CUTTING
I probably printed off three copies on cardstock. If you look you can see where the corrugated material overlaps the panel lower down. Simply think about it and cut where needed. In the areas around the industrial doors I cut the corrugated sheets wide so a bit would wrap around the recessed area. Those industrial doors again are glued to the cut out door area which is recessed a bit. |
