Anyone have a cool cave entrance they have made. I am making a couple of cave encounters and would like to craft cool cave entrances. Thanks

DM Scotty makes a really nice one out of pink foam. I think it would be hard to do without the hot wire cutter though.

This one I made by cutting and gluing the foam together and then coating it with a layer of white glue, brushed on. Then I base coated it a dark grey, and after it dried I then dry brushed a lighter grey over the top of it. Pretty simple and effective. If you don't need it raised like I did then you can just do the entrance part and glue it to a cardboard base and then use the steps I used above. Good luck and please post some pics when you make yours!

Yeah I don't have the hotwire cutter, but I do like the one monkey made and I think I can handle his idea. Thanks and I will post pics when I'm done.

Here are the three cave entrances I made following DMScotty's 2.5 technique. I did use a foam cutter. www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10202472116947646&l=2de8764dd4I know you said you did not have a foam hot wire cutter, but I wonder if you could do something similar with a coping saw or other fine saw. After that, it is really a matter of painting and using various terrain like sand and flocking.

After that, it is really a matter of painting and using various terrain like sand and flocking. That's basically how I cut the foam for mine... used an old knife along with the coping saw... not as clean as the hot wire cutters but it can work....and I recommend having a dryer fabric sheet close to nullify the static cling from the foam particles, makes things much neater and easier
