Step 2Create a rough version of the shape, in foam.
In order to create your foam shape, you'll either have to sculpt it freeform like Michelangelo, or carve it from a block of foam with CNC tools, or use routers and templates to help you make it. I chose to use templates and routers.
In the series of photos you see that I stacked the templates (which are made by 'tracing' a master template with a router) with threaded rod. Then I shot expanding foam into the form (inside a garbage bag.)
Then I used a hot knife to slice away the excess foam. The masonite templates stop the knife from cutting too far.

What kind of foam do you use? And where can I get it (as well as these other materials)?
