Scenery - Structures
need advice on modeling this building
This is an image on Stgeve Klezyck's (Rattled's) photobucket site. It is a building in Weed, CA. I want to selectively compress it to about 6" tall to the eaves and 24" long or so. It will sit up against my backdrop on my HO layout. I will model it to the roof peak (about 4" deep).
White bead foam
Has anyone have experience gluing white bead type of styrofoam ? I want to build a large O scale structure using 1/2 inch styrofoam. Any information will be appreciate it.

Scale Model Animation 6 – Down at the Dock Again and DCC Sound Advice?
Model animation—bringing models to life—adds enormously to the interest and enjoyment of any layout or individual model! This entry starts with taking a snapshot of my animation down at the dock and presents some experimentation with cell phone earpiece speakers with Digitrax and TCS WOW decoders.
Shapeways.com 3d printed stuff
This is an ice cream store I built using a pill bottle and parts I designed and had printed at shapeways. You can see how I did it at nvrr49.blogspot.com. The sign was printed on an Afina printer.

Acohol, Soap, and Scenery
In the interest of having accepted practices in one place, I ask the following questions. Naturally, there are many ways to do the same job. In your experience, what are your recommendations for the following?
ALCOHOL:
Use denatured alcohol to clean castings before painting/gluing/etc. This makes sense.
Use iso-alcohol to mix with glue to set scenery.
What would happen if you use denatured alcohol with glue? Does it really matter and why? IOW, what's the difference when it comes to our use in scenery?
