That looks really cool. I've never thought of fabricating things with styrofoam.

Amazing. Good work!

Wow thirty years! That's fantastic

Did you guys already make a blinking eyes tutorial without using a machine mechanism? Thinking more puppet like. Love this video, I'm trying high density foam soon.

I’m just beginning with styrofoam! Wish me luck!

How hard coating is done using wall putty?

I so badly want to do sculptures out of foam but I have this odd thing where the noise of scraping it is like nails on a chalk board to me. It sucks.

Can you use styrofoam to make flex foam molds with

Bought Lazzarini's mechanical DVD years ago. Unfortunately styrofoam prices have soared and small budgets can't absorb the cost.

Does it go into detail of subtractive sculpture my brain could not concept that while doing research

What kind of base(hardener) and what kind of paints are usually used for sculptures like this?

For hard coating: 2-part (simple A & B) urethane casting resin. Make sure it is casting resin because urethane will not eat up the foam when you're doing hard coating. For painting: acrylic paints, because it will be hung on the wall. - Adrienn

@@StanWinstonSchool and if its to be exposed outdoors (heat/cold, moist..)? Always acrylic no matter what or sometimes lacquer(not sure the name is right but the same colors used to paint cars) is needed ?

Do you primer the styrofoam before painting it later?

I would like to try this but unfortunately, styrofoam is non-biodegradable. How do you recycle them?

What a tool can using for small scale...

@meghanwebster9864

For small scale use clay.

I love this kind of thing, & I'd love to work with styrofoam, but the problem I always encounter with these videos: WHERE TO BY THOSE BLOCKS OF STYROFOAM!?!? You say it's an inexpensive material to work with, but you don't say where to get it. Everywhere I've looked is too expensive! So I must be looking in all the wrong places, & you have to know the right people to get it for cheap. Share connections please!

Like how big is that block you’re using? In the link you have, a 6”x4’x8’ block is $125, which is only 16ft squared, which would be a 2.5’x2.5’ block; What your using is probably 2x2x3, maybe bigger; how much did that cost?

@@ShdwTrcr Hi! Our teacher Tim Martin got back to me with the following info: "The supplier I purchased from is Atlas Foam in Sylmar, California. You will need to search online to see who supplies block expanded polystyrene, aka Styrofoam, in your local area. The size of the Styrofoam block you buy will depend on what size prop you want to make. You'll have to research pricing with your local suppliers." - Balázs
