Step 7Yoshi Head (Hollowing out)
This weighed about 1.5lbs after adding all the other components I thought that this would be too much. This is why I think the blue (and maybe even the white beaded) styrofoam would work better.
To lighten it up I decided to hollow out everything I could.
First I used the clay wire tool to cut up the head into 4 pieces that I thought were thick enough to allow for some removal. I made a little mistake and ended up cutting off the top of the helmet cavity.
Then I marked each of the 4 pieces to where I wanted to remove excess foam from.
Next I used the hole saw, rasp, and steel wool to remove material.
Finally glued it all back together, including the patch to fix my mistake. You will also notice a large hole right above the head opening. This was a design choice the I later decided was not needed.
