Thread: Morgue Sign (my first foam prop)

Tweet

I just finished this up today. I am going to use it on the entrance to the garage. It is just over 4 feet wide. Have been wanting to try building something out of foam for a while now, so I figured this would be a good project to get my feet wet in it. It was very rewarding to see this go from a sheet of foam to a finished product. Terra's painting tutorial was priceless. I think I have got a pretty good grasp on the foam, but I still need to find my own painting style. Overall, I am pretty pleased with it.

Good job. Looks really good!

Very nice.

I have yet to make a foam project. Yours turned out really nice.

Very nice.... Be carful the foam becomes addictive!!!

That is really kool and realistic. Great job. Now if only I could do something like that. lol

Thanks for the kind words. Building anything that doesn't include nuts, bolts and metal is new for me.

You aren't kidding. I am actually looking forward to making some of my own tombstones this winter. Just might be a new hooby. I actually just glued together 4 layers of foam tonight I had left over. If time allows, I am going to make a custom tombstone for my grave grabber.

Nicely done! Reminds me I need to make a sign this year. Oh...never enough time!!

Very good prop and great technique!
(and it is VERY addictive... you start figuring out all sorts of things you can build )
