[QUOTE="thill, post: 502929, member: 4972"] I just did a template for a very curvy front platform. I use Amazon and Chewy boxes and a hot glue gun. A dollar store razor knife, heavy scissors or tin snips will help make it perfect. Lay the boxes out and glue some strips down to hold them together. Cut strips around the perimeter and hot glue them down to make a tight fit. It may look like crazy patchwork, but it will be a perfect fit when you are done Because you are laminating layers, it will be plenty rigid, and much cheaper than foam, if you have boxes laying around. If you can get a kid to help you, or anyone, for that matter, it should go pretty fast. [/QUOTE]
