Frigolit is the Swedish word for Styrofoam. It´s often white with quite big bubbles.

No problems! ^^
Just like in Canada they have styrofoam in most well-sorted hardware stores here in sweden.
"Frigolit" is the swedish word for "styrofoam", though it refers to the standard styrofoam, not the extruded. I said that the extruded can be found where the regular styro is found

Thanks for posting the info.
What is frigolit?
-
Det finns på dom flesta byggvaruhusen. 2 som jag bekräftat har det (har köpt därifrån) är Coop Bygg (blåa varianten) och Bauhaus (oranga varianten). Finns vid "isolerings-avdelningen", dom har ofta vanlig frigolit där också.

Would regular packaging styrofoam do good or is it too soft?

@mudkiptyler Yes it works. Harder to do detail work with it and it needs to be coated prior to painting. But for some buildings all you need to do is coat it and paint it. There are some great shapes and pieces in packaging foam.

@MrJjjaaammmeeesss They use big blocks of similar foam in constructing wharfs. I'm inland and 2-1/2 inches is the thickest I've seen (Building supply store under insulations)
There are a couple companies that sell two-part pour and let expand foams. Search out Smooth-On products. They have a great casting info section too.
