Sweet! Thanks Doc~ what process did u use?
I just did a whole bunch. 4x8 sheets of blue or pink foam.
1. I first tried using an exacto knife to carve out grout lines...it took forever, 2 days to do 1 board!
2. I went and bought a Dremel, with the little metal grinding bit, and that was the best thing ever! I could do 50 board a day if I wanted to!
3. Buy the Dremel or similar rotary tool, play around with the bits see which one you like!

A Dremel tool is great and makes fast work. I still stick witht he exacto knife for very inticate details on my tombstones.

Foam Walls
My husband just used a dremel tool. Worked great. He cut a block sized piece of foam and held it up to his foam wall and traced around the block to make the lines and even created an archway. View attachment 6348

Faux Hallway
The hallway is just an optical illusion. It is just painted inside the opening to the faux wall so it looks like there is a tunnel .

You can also use a soldering iron (minues the tip), for some nice "rugged" grout lines...don't worry, it won't catch fire...
