Thread: Foam barrels, pulleys, and deadeyes

Tweet

This year, we are going all out with building a pirate ship in our garage. Over the past couple of weekends, I have been making parts for the rigging. Here's a few work in progress pictures:

Single and double pulleys. All made from blue foam.

I also made a couple of barrels out of white foam blocks I picked up from a local trailer dealer

Those look awesome! Great job. It's amazing what you can do with some foam and paint.

Terrific! Your an artist.

You sir, are a professional. You should be doing that for a living!

Awesome! You are quite talented.

I love the texture and detail. I have a question though. I haven't found any place to get foam blocks or foam anything really. Where do you find that kind of stuff? I live in Las Vegas so there should some sort of store that carries it but I don't know what I'm looking for.

Also, if you ever make a tutorial on how to make those, be sure to add the Coors in the material list.

I recently got about half a dozen foam blocks from Lowe's. They are used to stack their small flat bed trailers during shipping. There's a trailer dealership in town that I usually get them from.

Fantastic artwork! You do awesome work with foam!

You have skills!!!
Love the barrels could you do a tut on them.

Great carving skills you've got there!
