I don't think I have....?
Which kit? I've used thier plaster and resin - not sure I've seen any Poly foam.
By the name of it - I'd go with a glue like an epoxy vs a CA. Paints I would base coat with a hobby acrylic then build from there. Sorry, not a ton to go on from this side.

Hi there,
i build one of the foam kit before...
see my thread
Basically it's a foam but hard enough to work... it can be glued with white glue and painted like we normally do.
In my build, i painted with enamels, lacquer and even gave it oil washes. This didnot affect the foam..
Cheers,
Zaidi
