In Response To: Re: Foam Guillemot (Mike Hanks)

Well now I'm a bit confused. I thought it was traditional strip building, using some very strikingly colored foam strips. Did he cut traditionally sized strips from the board of foam? And if so, I'd be curious how he did it without breaking them and making a mess of them. And was it painted, or is that the color of the foam? And how did he work shaping the foam smooth? I've always found that to be impossibly difficult for me.

Aw heck, I'd just love to have all the building details I can of this one!
