I may have spoken out of context ..sorry for that .. I'll just condense my post into I wish there was a  tips techniques  category.. something like ,,"is this foam good for seats?" I agree with scalemodelmadman ,,the aircraft forum would be a good place to ask that ... however if there was a tips and techniques forum ,,with a thread on "how to make scale aircraft seats/cushions" ... that would be cool

 sorry I did not understand the  "university" thing . I was under the impression that Darknight was the instructor and would be  holding class... but I never saw anything happen since I joined .. now that I know  anyone can be an instructor ..it makes more sense
