You could mix chicken wire and foam. Bust up a bunch of foam scraps, and start gluing them randomly to the chicken wire. Then use a few cans of Great Stuff to fill things in. Once it's all dried, use acetone in a squirt bottle, and a heat gun or propane torch, to deform and distress it. After your texturing starts to work for you, a couple coats of paint will be easy to add. The foam should be quite rigid and durable, and kids touching it won't wear it out as easily as aluminum foil.
Anyone ever tried this, Rockwork
We want a cave like look in an area of the haunt. I was thinking of something lightweight and fireproof.
Has anyone ever made a shape out of chicken wire and covered it with foil?I had thought with minimal overhead support for the chicken wire and a covering of wrinkly foil is might look like rock. Spray it up a little with some rocky colors. How to fasten the foil to the wire is a question.
Is this just a crazy idea? I know it would be a little fragile but would also be easy to repair. And most important fireproof.
