Most of the Tikis at the South London Pacific are foam and then covered with plaster and painted. Just wear a mask when cutting/sanding foam its nasty stuff! Other than plaster you can paint and varnish or use a polyester resin for a harder finish. Also try whatever you're coating it with on aspare pice of foam first as different foams react with different oil/spirit bases.
Good luck.
