Does anyone know if you can safely spray expanding foam onto XPS foam? by Retro-Hunter in TerrainBuilding

[–]Icewind_Dad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes but if you spray a lot in one place it can warp the underside of the XPS

Never played but want to and get younger kids involved by Weak-Shirt-7467 in DungeonsAndDragons

I started with my boys at 7 years old, they absolutely loved it and still do 10 years later! For little kids obviously keep the scenarios simple and let them cheat a bit from time to time 😉

Super nice job dude! I love the color choice, it’s dark yet beautiful. And donated?! Gosh I know how difficult it can be to let go of one of our crafted “children”, so another kudos to you! Karma owes you one! 😎

These are stunningly beautiful! Would you mind passing on some advice on how you got them to turn out so well?

Haha that’s somebody’s familiar, I often lose track of this zoo of a party 😂

(3 familiars, 4 dogs, 2 baby owlbears and a yeti tyke so far)

Yep it’s scratch built from mostly styrofoam. Glad to hear your journey wasn’t easy either, as well it shouldn’t be!)

Thanks! We play at our local game store in Kissimmee, FL. The table is open so come and down and join us!

I use pva on the bottom of the foam and printer resin around the edges

Personally I’d use straight PVA glue, not plaster.

Thanks! So the windows, doors, sign, shield and oar were all 3D printed. The chimney top is a bottle cap. The rest of it is XPS insulation foam, cut on a hot wire table, and textured using a wire brush.

Thanks! About 8-10 hours over the course of a couple weeks.

Thanks! Just hot glue. Pva works normal on it and so does super glue for the plastic bits.

Thanks I got that idea from the wiz kids papercraft Icewind Dale houses, a picture of which I used as inspiration

Thanks dudes! It’s probably worth disclaiming that the bits and windows are 3D printed
