Hello all... It's only about 4" x 5" or so. Carved from a pice of hard foam. I was actually sucessfull in sneaking a couple of tikis into a freelance illustration project for a major school textbook publishing firm a few years ago: One of the few times I have actually sat down and did more than a tiki doodle or sketch...

that little feller is cool! as far as painting, you have to be careful the paint dosen't melt the foam, i think there is a hardener you have to spray first so that dosent happen |

Cool foam carving! Love it. I reckon it would look sweet in a pearl green to really show off the details in the light. Try a model shop - they have a great line of really sweet colors in spraycans. Nice stuff. Looking forward to seeing more. |

I think I know the stuff you are talking about. If you go onto mould making websites, they have some good paints for this type of stuff. You could use earthy toned paints and give it the look of an antique ceramic tile. Go into your local paint shop and look at the special effects paint - there is some nice stuff. I hope you planning on doing some more! |
