oh. i thought it was really thin and if you press hard to move the figures, it would fold. You shold of painted the sides of the hole too. My plan is to find a silky brown/tan material, to glue into the hole... SO that when people, and missiles, fly into it I don't have to dig around inside... So hopefully, those sides won't stay white for long.

wow that is so cool if only i was allowed to use power tools or had supplys like that Now power tools needed. Foam Core from Walmart $2.00 X-Acto Knife $5.00 Sand Fleck Spray Paint $5.00 Klear Kote Spray Paint $5.00 Metal Ruler (for precision cutting with knife) $3.00 Pencils and patience... pretty cheap. Now, I had the knives and the spray, so it didn't seem that expensive to make, but buying them all at once might. But if you get the materials I can help you build it!

With foam core, you shouldn't need to use power tools. However, you would probably need to be allowed to use an Exacto knife or some other sort of razor blade like that. An art supply store, like thingy Blick, should have foam core (aka foam board), Exacto knives, and spray paints.

Yeah, "foam CORE" is a bad habit my art teacher got me into.
I think we had a name brand called "Foam Core" (because the inside is foam, the outside is heavy paper)
I often get corrected at Pearl. But either way, I think if you tried to take a jigsaw to this thing, you'd end up with a serious injury!

I saw it either way in supply stores, so no worries from me, Joe Darn swear word filter...it wouldn't let me link to a large art supply chain that would allow browsing for such materials.

Thats quite impressive. One weekend I will see if I can make something remotely close. I got a micheals store right near me though so it shouldent be a problem. You should have a contest for people creating playsets etc..
