Romancing the Foam

 So, I've got a lot of catching up to do on the blog here, so I will be making two posts this week.  Phase one of installation is actually complete and you can visit it at 323 E Veterans Way, Tempe AZ.  But today I'm going to be showing you the fascinating and messy process of finishing up foam.  Later this week I will show you the rest of the pics!

 For the fine details like those of the hand I used a file or an xacto blade.

 An insert for the inside of the leg.... but how to get it in?

 Brighter!

 Coated in resin, patched a bajillion times.  Maya knocked the hands off by accident, but actually gave me the opportunity to fix a lot of details.

 Happy ice cream bar!
