Styrofoam Head Test

For my first attempt I glued blocks of Styrofoam together in the basic shape of the head. Then I used marker to draw some of Godzilla’s basic facial features onto the foam. To cut off the big chunks I used something called the Styro Wonder Cutter, basically it’s a thin hot metal rod that you use to melt through the Styrofoam. Because I was worried about the head being accurate, and since I have never carved before, I enlisted the help of my friend Dave who took industrial design back in college. He shaved and sanded the head like a master but in the end we decided to try again.
