One Response to 3D Buildings For 3D Backdrop

  • Bradfishski says:

    I might suggest that you purchase a “Razor Saw” at your local model or hobby supply vendor. The straightest cut will be achieved buy utilizing a “Mitre Box” that matches the saw. Keep the side of the building flat, resting against the side of the box closest to you and start the cut pulling very slowly. There will be minimum saw kerf, and a perfect 90 degree cut.
