GIANT TOADSTOOL 

Pinewood Studios - Creative Media Skills

MATERIALS

Polystyrene, insulation foam, Fillite, PVA glue, fibreglass tissue and emulsion paint.

A hot wire and sculpting tool was used to create a polystyrene toadstool. 

The stork and cup of the toadstool were created separately, then joined together with insulation foam. Detail was added using a soldering iron.

To make the polystyrene more durable a coat of PVA glue and Fillite were painted onto fibreglass tissue. Insulation foam was used to create the white dots. Red emulsion paint was added to give it a vivid mushroom colour.
