I pretty much agree, though things like packing inserts, with GREAT shapes
for buildings/ruins/etc, are generally bead styro, and that can have pesky
beads floating around, electrostatically sticking in all the wrong places.

I've wanted a hot wire 'mitre' to be able to do consistently angled bevels.
I've never been able to give my 'collapsible' terrain a proper try.

Ok, once again demonstrating ignorance du plastic, isn't styro merely
foamed polystyrene? What makes styrene poly, then? Oh, nevermind, as this
is going WAY OT. I'll just go Googleing.
