Title: Replacing Styrofoam Moulds Post by: Rocu on November 26, 2014, 03:19:05 PM Hey guys,
I just got an awesome boxed Mastersystem but no styrofoam moulding inside. Any advice or materials you can suggest to use for something like this?

It's pretty sturdy, and they used it for the Atari Jaguar box pretty well. Otherwise, if you're up for it, you can buy a styrofoam block and shave it down so that it will hold what you want inside the box.
