Mission

By Chris Darling

Now it's easy to make the most true-to-life Missions or other historical buildings for your school, business, or hobby. If you have pictures of the building you want to make you can enlarge them on a copier and trace them onto the foam.

The outline shape was cut out on the Hot Scroll Table, and the windows and hole for the clock were cut out with the Hot Knife Tool. The tiles on the roof were made in just a few minutes with the Engraving Tool. Chris used extruded Blueboard insulation foam, so he was able to press it in to form the indentation on the front of the building. This effect can also be achieved by cutting out the outline shape of the wall, then slicing off the edges, then slicing the middle section thinner, and finally gluing the wider protruding edges back onto the now thinner middle section. He used an inexpensive watch for the tower clock.
