Finally finished my styrofoam archway that I sculpted with my new hot wire tools. I used hot glue to add on some of DM Scotty's colored crystals to make it look "magical". The hot glue helped melt the styrofoam a little so that I could push the crystals into the foam a little. I think it turned out pretty good, if I could do it over I would use less crystals and place them less symetrical. Thanks for looking.

Looks fantastic!
If you want the styrofoam look even more like rock, you can spray it lightly(!) with color. Most spray colors melt styrofoam, which is why most people don't use spray in comvination with styro, but if you use the melting effect as a tool, you get a great result. paint if afterwards (basepaint black, then drybrush gray & white) and you have a rock that looks like water eroded it.
...just always remember when working with hotwire or spray on styro to work in a VERY well ventilated area or even outside. These fumes are not very good for your health.
