If you're looking for the perfect material to make low-cost and lightweight props for your films, haunts, or cosplay creations, it's hard to beat styrofoam.
In Part 1 of his 2-part course series, Martin teaches you how to transfer your prop design onto a block of styrofoam, carve it down to the primary and secondary forms, and then use a rotary tool and a heat gun to begin the detailing process.

That looks really cool. I've never thought of fabricating things with styrofoam.
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.
Hello Danica! We have some crazy cool "how to make any eye" lessons, but most of them are mechanical. But I'm sure you would love them! Check them out here: www.stanwinstonschool.com/search?category=courses&text=eye - Balázs
Amazing. Good work!
Amazing
Where do you buy the large styrofoam squares to make this
This is amazing!!! Do you offer in person classes? Would love to be able to sculpt props like this!! I do cos-play, Drag and would love to create back drops and large scale props!!
No, we are 100% online. Check us out at stanwinstonschool.com/ - Balázs
I’m just beginning with styrofoam! Wish me luck!
Awesome
Amazing 👍
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 assume dryloc or something like it.
Can you use styrofoam to make flex foam molds with
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.
How hard coating is done using wall putty?
I would like to try this but unfortunately, styrofoam is non-biodegradable. How do you recycle them?
Disolve styro in a jar with lid in either acetone or gasoline to make a nice epoxy resin. Work with ventilation! vids how on yt
i am trying to get some beginners tools for crafting with styrophoam what tools can you recommend for beginners?
Hi! Just click here, scroll down, and you will find a MATERIAL section for that course (you can use them as a beginner too): bit.ly/StyroPropsPt1YT - Balázs
I trying to carving the biggest pumpkin jack for this Halloween but I can't don't it right! I need the tutorial video
looks cool. what is the hard coat made of? is it fire resistant ?
It's a 2-part urethane casting resin. It's not fire resistant. - Adrienn
@@StanWinstonSchool cool! what is the brand you guys like? is it water based so it doesn’t melt the foam?
Where does one get foam blocks that size? Website?
Hey Matthew! The answer is Foam Mart. If you click on the course's link (bit.ly/StyroPropsPt1YT) and scroll down to Materials, you will find some of the suppliers hotlinked, so you can reach them directly from our site. - Adrienn
What a tool can using for small scale...
For small scale use clay.
what type of tools?
Hey Sara! You can find the material list - including tools - on the course page. Just click on this link: bit.ly/StyroPropsPt1YT and scroll down to materials. - Adrienn
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
