We built these EPS foam sculptures for a parade and the props had to be light enough for
children to pull. The props also had to be durable. The foam sculptures have a urethane
hard coat. Each section can disconnect from the other easily. This 3 dimensional display
is one of the more light hearted projects we've built. The guy in helmet just hopped off his
motorcycle. We don't wear biker helmets at work!

This head was made for the Downtown Denver Aquarium. It sits on top of a donation box so it sees its fair
share of abuse. The teeth are what break constantly. Even though they had metal pins in them.
We removed the existing teeth, cut holes into the fiberglass gums, cut teeth from 1/4 inch aluminum
plate, sculpted them to be more teeth like but not dangerously sharp, epoxied the teeth back into the
gums, used nail polish to repaint the gums and lastly painted the teeth with porcelain bath tub paint.
Sometimes the most work goes into the smaller projects!
