Goodday all:
I was wondering if anyone here could advise as to which foam is best for a large sculpt? Or where to find it.
I was advised to get the spray insulating foam but thinking that there must be something better?

depends on how large you want something. My experience with the spray foam is that random air bubbles can form where you least want it. It's better for touch up. For dioramas, a cheaper alternative is to stack and glue foam insulation boards together then carve, using the spray foam to fill cracks.

Architectural foam - hands down the best stuff for carving.

Or if you're fabricating, no idea Lol
