Alamo Foam is a huge manufacturer/supplier in San Antonio, and Houston. They ship daily around the country. PH (210) 646-8288 ask for Jerry. I hope this helps.

We have a CNC foam cutting rig that will do anything up to 6-foot long, 6-foot wide and 3 feet deep. It's used for making UAV wings but it does also get used for cutting model cores from time to time ;-)

The only problem is that we're half a world away from you :-(

Flying Foam still exists. They moved to Texas within the last year. Don't know why the hyper link doesn't work but if you type in www.Flyingfoam.com on a search engine the web site comes up.
