You don't need 5 axis, I bet you can do many things you wish with 4 axis or with fixtures, especially in foam.
I made a 5th axis for my mill, had no time to really try it yet, it is also for foam. Check out my site and you will see I make model planes. I also made a digitizer to help copying models etc.
Ernesto, he built it from scratch no plans, the 4th/5th axis are surplus satalite dish turners, the rest is standard router. He uses his own kit of macros in a 3D program I forget the name of. You can get the toolkit from him and join the yahoo group, there is also a free version of the 3D package called gmax, it is limited but you can import from other programs etc.
