It's never too early to start thinking of ideas for Halloween decor, so to get the ideas flowing, we're spotlighting this 16ft tall animatronic monster by John Merk of Xtreme Creators! This creature features 9 movements, all controlled by computer.

He used #2 pound foam for the body and cut the main blocks with our 4ft Compound Bow Cutter. He then glued it to the inner frame and sculpted the details with our Industrial Hot Knife. To finish it off, he rounded the edges with a horse brush and coated it in multiple layers of rubber latex and paint.

We love when our customers share photos of their projects with us! If you’d like to show off what you’ve made with our tools or products, please send us a message or send us an email to faqs@hwff.com

#GBWC2017 progress! My foam sculpting tool from the @hotwirefoamfactory arrived along with Smooth Finish. I got my glacier and icebergs carved out and coated. Next step, sanding them smooth and priming my models for paint. #gbwc #gundam #gunpla #hotwirefoamfactory #modelbuilding #crafting #diorama

I haven’t posted in a WHILE. Between holidays, work, projects and looking for a new job I haven’t felt really worthy to share anything. Plus my truck broke. I’m getting my #%?! together and will be nocking your socks off with new and old #aboveaverageart very soon. Until then enjoy this #foam #dinosaur #skull #sculpture. To everyone who follows and supports my work. Thank you. #hotwirefoamfactory #styrofoam #skulls it’s not done yet. #sandpaper (at Marietta, Georgia)

Coffin ⚰️ WIP Texturing the foam with wood grain. In the first pic, using the @hotwirefoamfactory 4” hot knife. In the second pic I’m making the foam look like splintery wood. (at Monster Tutorials) https://www.instagram.com/p/CExQqs6l3wq/?igshid=154ryghwhx35x

After an obstacle course of craziness, with help from family and new friends, the first #sculpture has found its home on the #lch sixth floor #roof! I am excited and pleased with how the roof is transforming - - I was surprised how much smaller the the #artwork looks in that #environment - - @levinechildrens @scc_charlotte @hodgestaylorac @inmarinc @conceptsapp #grauelvillages #3dart @101buildingsupplync @hotwirefoamfactory #cltart (at Levine Children's) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1uyh7WJ9VC/?igshid=17w62o9ibrcen

Progress on The Comedian

Okay I realize this doesn't look phenomenal but that is part of the reason why I am posting it. I often see people's progress shots online and the shit just looks too good to be true. I'm not saying they are lying or anything but I want everyone to know - paint and plastidip can hide and mask just about any imperfection when done correctly. That being said…

Today I've been working with the engraving tool by the hot wire foam factory. I'm using it on EVA foam (flooring mats, come in a pack of four, can buy at lowes for around $20). I think this tool is made mainly for blue foam (insulation board)… as I am having difficulties. Sometimes it tears. One big one I know was my fault - the towel I had it on slipped and then when i tried to fix it I just ended up shitting on it more, but anyway. Every line has to be gone over around 30 times with this tool for me. I think this foam is too dense for this engraving tool. But I will continue anyway. After everything is engraved, I'll plastidip it and decide if I'm going to continue to paint? or start over with the worbla I just got in. hashtag. the struggle.

Suggestions? comments? concerns? sexy nudes? ikidikid.

From William J. Williams, “I've been working on a life size figure to be cast in bronze. The armature was scanned and milled in EPS foam by Arcstone Casting and Design out of Midvale, UT. They did a great job, and your hot wire tools proved invaluable in making necessary adjustments and fine tuning! Thanks!” You can see the tools and the Variable Heat Pro Power Station in the lower left corner. . We love when our customers share photos of their projects with us!

From Acacia Cadorette, these EVA foam armor pieces were coated with #HotWireFoamFactory's Bounce Rubberizer mixed with a small amount of the All Purpose Foam Coat. . Acacia had this to share: "The mixture worked amazingly well and made it possible for me to spray paint the pieces which was wonderful! Much easier then I had expected that part to be. The robotic arm was a combination of foam and Worbla and an old orange juice bottle. I used Bounce on that too!"
