D'you happen to know of anywhere I can go in Vancouver to get foam blocks computer-cut to my specifications? Most of the things I've found online are very very expensive and they're mostly for industrial prototyping for rather small objects.

Yeah, there's a place in in the burbs. I'll go looking for it again and tell you when I know their name.

Awesome. This would help me out immensely.

you haz exacto knife, or better yet an Olfa Knife ? set to max length on a new blade you can carve some truly awesome forms. I used do so as a signwriter. Skill up my friend and you wont need a 'puter. There are still plenty of foam inserts around whitegoods to practise on too.
