This is Part 1 How to Sculpt a Mint Beetle using Foam Clay. In this video I go over a bunch of tips and techniques I use when working with EVA Foam and Foam Clay. Foam clay can be a great material for organic sculpting and once it has cured is both durable and lightweight. Most of the sculpting process can easily be transferred to Cosplay and prop building as well.
Part 2 focuses on painting the Beetle using Plaid FX paints and you can check that out here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LDOAjXP9DCM
