Very cool, but I would still like to know what the price tag on that was.

I have a mobile lasertag/watertag and I'm thinking about making something to add to each obstacle or buying simple animatronics and robots 🤖

Hey, what did you guys use to seal the foam? I have a project I’m working on where i’m Doing a totem pole out of foam but it’s going outside

[@wearecreativeworks]

That sounds EXCITING!!!! Great question as well! Once we have sculpted the foam to our prop's design, we apply a commercial grade hard coat layer to seal it. In your case, you'll want to find a hard coat that will withstand various weather conditions as well as account for if people will be regularly touching it as that will also deteriorate your prop quicker.

Hi what kind of foam is used??

[@wearecreativeworks]

Hello, miz F! GREAT Question! We use EPS foam (Expanded Polystyrene) and adjust the density in accordance to the prop and it's function. Hope that answered your question!
