Hey everyone
I am currantly working on my Warlock costume from World of Warcraft (I have posted an image of what it looks like below) however I have had some trouble making several items from it, mainly the sholderpads, chains for the robe and the skulls that sit on the large (and oversized) spikes.

I have been looking for some sculpting foam for the basic shape of the sholderpads; however I havent had much luck finding any. I do know that Cark Rubber sell foam, but do they sell foam that is easy to carve and shape? because I have bought some plastline and casting materials from Adelaide Moulding & Casting Supplies which I could possibly use over the foam after I have sculpted it so I can as I plan on casting the sculpt and moulding it out of fiberglass.

Does anyone know where I could get any of the supplies that I have listed (Sculpting foam, plastic chain or prop skulls)? If they could post where as soon as possible it would be a massive help, as I need them as quick as possbile

With the robe itself, would one use a black fabric or a purple fabric? I have bought some purple fabric, but I am not too pleased with the colour of it, should I use black instead?

As time is running out I am getting quite desperate...so I will need these things soon...
If I get stuck with anything else I will make sure to post it here, Thanks heaps everyone!!

There is the costume I am making:

I suggest you might private message Snoutwhistle - he makes fabulous furry suits and I believe sculpts foam on a regular basis

You could try here

I haven't been there but they seem to have a fair range of polystyrene foam block sizes and might be able to do part blocks.
