Thread: Octagon Foam

Tweet

Hi,

I am looking for some original and creative ideas for two of these Styroafoam pieces. The end of the octagon measures 30" across while the length as seen on the photo also measures 30" There is actually a 6" Octagon lid and a 24" base. I have access to a lot of white styrofoam so using these as a foundation to add to is possible.

I have a cemetary in the front, my garage is a devils underworld, and my front porch is highlighted by a witches scene.

I am not interested in using them for tombstones. I have considered a hell hole with groundbreaking static devil or a pop-up devil. Possibly a firey bottomless pit.
Please help me generate some more original ideas, for either the underworld or the witches area.

Thank you.

I would discourage anything that encourages people to look in to. Leaning on the edges they are bound to break it down.

Why not sculpt something from it? I've done as much with the same type of foam and you can smooth down the beads with monster mud.

Sorry I should add that it is not solid. It has several compartments and odd shaped cutouts for shipping items. The overall thickness around the outide is 1.5".

I would use it as a base for a monstermud statue or reaper.

Otherwise I ~really~ need those to protect two 24"x24" hexagon windows I recently picked up cheap. I just know they are going to get broken when I get out in the garage this summer to build things

Does look like it would make a good pedastal base for a MM reaper or graveyard pillars or something a like

Looks like an altar to me..

Ah well then I think it would lend it'self nicely as a well.

I like where you're coming from! Always think BIG!!

I think like others have said, use them for the base of some statues or the like. Maybe make up some busts to place on them?

They are great and very unusual, so they must be ideal for something. I can see why you're in a quandary - you want to make the best use of them, but how??
