Well, I was going to try this for our halloween fonduau, but I didn't get around to it...go to the hardware store, get some sono tubing (I think it is called; it is the big cardboard tubing you use for making cement pillars), then paper mache the face on, or,if you want to carve the styrofoam, sandwich a bunch of the pink insulation kind together (NOT the kind made with little white balls, the smoother stuff) just with glue (and lots of weight on top for a couple of days). It carves great with an electric carving knife, or saw or just about anyting. I did do this to make a giant gopher head once, and it works really well. Actually, it occurs to me that a combination of these two would work best, with styrofoam features glued on the tubing. Hope this helps.
