I take it the foam you use is polystyrene? If so do you need a hot wire cutter to shape it, or can you use a knife?
-
Do you think this technique will works using wax instead of foam? Thanks for reply :)
-
reminded me of the terminator when the skull came out of the mold!
-
@jdsprince What kind of paint can you use? I know a lot of spray paints will melt foam? I'm curious want to try. Also were did you get the kiln/furnace type barrel? What did you use to heat it? Thank you!
-
That's cool. But I thought it was called the lost wax method.

@jdsprince now that you mention it, the body i want about the size of a pool ball, with little stick feet, and exagerated wings and ears, maybe an 8 inch wingspan, would this still me 45 dollars!?

Yes, you can shape polystyrene with a hot wire, soldering iron, a heated knife or sand it. I have a homemade hotwire cutter that uses a car battery charger, dimmer switch, a wood frame and a guitar string with a tension spring on one end to take up the slack when the wire gets hot

so what, you just pour the aluminium into the sand while the foam is still in there?
Or do you somehow remove the foam first?

@pr4wn5tar The foam stays in the sand. It vaporizes when the molten aluminum comes in contact with it. anything foam is then replaced with aluminum.
