    I have done work on custom cars. One of the things I do when shaping foam for creating fiberglass molds is I will take a butane torch and heat my blade (xacto, putty knife, whatever I am cutting with) to red hot, It works like a hot wire foam cutting tool. Very smooth finish but it will have a kerf almost double the thickness of the blade. I throw this idea out there and wonder if you have played with heating your cutting devices. After discovering your videos, I am a total addict and am enjoying your insane abilities. I bought my g-kids a 1/64 scale slot car set. I would like to surprise them with a Utah National Park motif (Arches/Zion). I hope in a few years 🙂 I have a finished product. You are inspirational.

      Very cool project you have ahead of you. I like your idea. I have tried heating up a blade to cut with, only issue is to control the amount of melt from the heat. Best tool to use if wanting to use heat is a hot wire. They work very nicely. I have use this technique for custom work as well , great way to create a wide body , or flares . 😂… but when your shaping the foam your sanding and smoothing out some of the cuts before you lay out the glass . Unfortunately with scenery it gets a little bit more precise. But by all means, get a wire cutter. They work great and some come with different cutting tips . Thank you for sharing and watching. Hope the videos get some ideas flowing 😂

    I agree with you Boone. Razor knives are great modeling tools. But another thing I found them great for is quick trips to the emergency room. 😂 Gotta keep focused, and if you feel a sneeze coming on, put the knife down. 😂

    Great video! When I saw it was 3 hrs I went whew, but it flew by! I built an ESSO guy from your earlier video and it turned out great. Thanks for sharing your ideas and techniques. I'm building a 100 foot (approx) long Carrera track and doing full scenery at my son's home for the grandkids and us. Fortunately he has a 1500 sq ft basement so space is not an issue. Now I'm going to have to find a place to fit in a tunnel!

    At 2:08:37 "...this video is long" the cathartic properties can in no way be denied, however.
    It beats the cornbread hell out of watching the grievously boorish & lopsided score keeping of the current holy war.

    🤔Spray-In Expansion Foam 😶‍🌫 drape it frm the top and spill it over to that Gap
    @ 1:23:20 u've got on tht side of your New expanded Deception Speedway layout.
    🤔Build a Retaining wall along the upper outside curve of the black unpainted adjacent
    to ur tunnel. Using 🤔window / door screen Wire not plastic, then make ur
    mountain / cliff spilling it across to the other side of the track, Filling ur
    Gap / Void @ 2:03:55, then or build Retaining Wall on the other side of the
    track so that it will make sense as to Why You Have A Tunnel . . . . . 😂🤣😂😭!
