I made him out of wooden dowel rods and a 4’ x 8’ sheet of 2” pink insulation, 2”x4” for the feet and foam for the head then paper matched him.

Great job! everything is so smooth. It’s hard to believe it is paper mâché. Were your newspaper strips the final layer before painting? I use paper strips all the time. They really can be very smooth.
Very Cool! Did you prime the foam before applying the paper mache? How has the paper mache held up?
Thanks!!
Wow, how tall is he? It looks like the pink foam is easier to cut than the regular white foam? I love the wood dowel legs and the 2 x 4 feet, too.
