Tombstones

These are some replica tombstones I made from the Haunted Mansion attraction at Disney World.

Made from pink foam.

very nice looks like that insulation cuts nice.I will have to try that stuff.The way you finished them they really look like stone, great job basecircle

The foam cuts like butter. I recommend good dust collection with it though. That stuff can get everywhere.

The finish is white primer and watered down black paint. I then covered with a flat clear coat.

Hi Eric,

These are great, thanks for sharing them. Did you glue of the 3 panels before you created the tombstone, or individually and then glue them up? What glue did you use?

I glued them up after I cut them. I ended up using Titebond 3. It gave the best results. I started with Loctite brand foam panel adhesive and was not pleased with the results. It goes on too thick and dries too slow.

To smooth out the seams, I started with Rock Hard Water Putty and felt it was too much work for what I was trying to accomplish. I then went with standard wood filler. I'll report back after Halloween which one lasts better.
