1. There are some 1x1's that make up some very basic framing, but if you get foam that is 1" thick or even 3/4" if should be good to support whatever. The Frame is more riser than support in mine.

2. I use the cheapest paint I can find, lol. Most of what you see is basic craft paint purchased at walmart. I start almost every paint job with a base layer of black then drybrush the next colors until I get the look I was going for (A technique I picked up from the 3.75 compatability thread, the one where the guy had a series of videos on how to make a castle diorama). Xavier's mansion is actually stone texture spray paint, but you gotta be careful because most spray paints will eat through the foam, but I found that some will not.

3. I moved to Indy so I know there is an entire state between us now, but come over whenever, lol. It is kinda funny I put all this effort into this display and probably less than 10 people will ever see it in person.
