If you're looking for the perfect material to make low-cost and lightweight props for your films, haunts, or cosplay creations, it's hard to beat styrofoam.
In Part 1 of his 2-part course series, Martin teaches you how to transfer your prop design onto a block of styrofoam, carve it down to the primary and secondary forms, and then use a rotary tool and a heat gun to begin the detailing process.
