Is this the same as Expanded Polystyrene - widely available in the UK??

@waldenhouse I don't know.

hi evert iwas wondering if i should model hills instead of mountains because i live in southwestern ohio close to the indiana-ohio border and i think hmplantman should shut up

[thebige61]

I think hills would be the way to go for that area.

Excellent info! I am getting ready to start a new layout and now I won't have to get bags of Hydrocal. This method looks much more desireable.

@waldenhouse no, polysteryne wil not have the same effect, it will bead and break. you need foam !

[jonathanbigbrowning]

@waldenhouse No it's not, this is actually called "Extruded Polystyrene".
