I've not tried it yet but my wife suggested I use 4x8 sheets of foam insulation for my mockup. It seems to be cheaper than foamboard.

Blanka:

Browse the IKEA for some cheap-ass table surfaces or so. They are king of hollow paper-sandwich panels. Ever stumbled over a LACK table? Did it survive?
You can buy the board in plain format too, but no idea where. The Design Acadamy runs on this stuff for study models.

I made my PocketGalaga from berch plywood. It's lightweight and sturdy. I simply glued the thing together.

I was under the impression he wanted to make full size mock ups which would require 1/2" foamboard in at least the 40x60" size, that stuff starts getting Pricey!!!
and a 4x8' sheet :dizzy: crazy cash let me tell you, I've had to buy a couple
