XPS (EXTRUDED POLYSTYRENE SHEETS) ARE THE BEST FOR THIS AS THEY A CUTTABLE, SANDABLE, GLUEABLE AND CARVABLE AND THEY ARE VERY LIGHT WEIGHT WITH HIGH STRENGTH AND COMPRESSION RATIO. 

STYRO FOAM or XPS (EXTRUDED POLYSTYRENE SHEETS) have the following unique features which is why is it is superior compared to any other type of foam available in the market. 

1)  CUTTABLE  : means just cut them using your hobby knife or stanley knife for a clean cut without any debris or dust.

6)  WATER PROOF , FLAME RETARDANT, VERY STRONG 

GIVEN BELOW ARE SOME OF ITS STRENGTHS 
1) Superior rigidity 
2) Superior water resistance assures stable performance 
3) Lowdensity 
4) Flame retardant makes it have flame retardance properties 
5) Excellent moisture resistance 
6) Wide choice of thickness, board widths and edge details 
7) Excellent compressive strengths 
8) Lightweight, high hardness, easy to fabricate, handle and install 
9) Designed for use in high load bearing applications 
10) High compressive strength resists damage from heavy loads 

Extruded polystyrene  (XPS) foam has been used withgreat success as a modelling foam for many years. Strong, lightweight and versatile - XPS has been used for everything from competition grade surfboards to remote control planes & vehicles, outdoor water features to model railway dioramas, architectural models and even triathlon racing bike frames. 

XPS boards are lightweight with a high compressive strength rating. The unique closed cell structure/cell shape of XPS results in no voids between cells, the result of anexclusive extrusion process that assures uniform, predictable, stable physical properties. 

XPS is a thermoplastic and retreats from fire. It also contains a flame retardant additive to inhibit accidental ignition from small fire sources eg., over-heated wires or welding sparks. Thecell structure of XPS enables it to resits all forms of water and moisture penetration. 

XPS is chemically and physiologically inert,it creates no dust and will not support mould or mildew and is non allergenic. XPS is not a known food source to vermin orinsects. 

Cutting  and  Shaping 
Due to the homogeneous cell structure and uniform density of XPS it can be cut accurately and to very closetolerances. XPS is easy to cut and shape with a range of toolsincluding a hotwire cutter, serrated knife, hacksaw, floral knife. To cut a thick piece, or several sheets stacked together, try using anold electric knife. 

Painting 
XPS can be painted with an acrylic craft and/or water basedpaint. Avoid using solvent based paints as these may damage the foam. Somespray paints are safe to use - read the label carefully to determine whether ornot it is foam approved. 

Adhesives 
For a fast, sure bond, use a low-temperature glue gun (using a non-solvent base such as an epoxy resin and/or polyurethane adhesive) which can be purchased from your local hardware store. Hot Glue also works fine as long as you are careful with the temperature.
