How to Carve a craft Foam Pumpkin Mimic using a Foam Pumpkin, eva foam, and foam clay. In this video I go over all of the steps it takes to fabricate your own foam DnD Mimic Pumpkin. From cutting the pumpkin using a hot knife to sculpting on additional details using eva HD Foam and Foam Clay I also show how I painted this pumpkin using Liquitex acrylics and Createx airbrush paints.

  • You should be ASHAMED of yourself, adding to my pile of projects that I now need to complete because you did an awesome job with this! How dare you take away even more of my free time?!?
  • This is incredible. I run a DnD game for 2 neighbor families, parents and kids. I'm going to try this same concept with the actual Pumpkin this year.
  • @WitteArtistry
    WOW! thats just incredible! Never thought about how you can work with eva & foam clay ON a foam pumpkin. Thats so smart!
  • That was way more simple than I expected! I love projects like this, where it's just the amount of layers that you want to do that make it complex or not.
  • I really appreciate seeing your full painting process for this. Layering up my paint has always been soemthing I've struggled with achieving.
  • @Sunshine-rk5zl
    DUDE, give yourself a pat on the back for this one. Im truly impressed. Freaking awesome.
  • @shawnkarg3794
    Love the foam clay details, and another amazing paint job, sir! I'll be using these techniques in the future!
  • Wow! I love this! i have a couple of foam pumpkins but wasn't sure what to do. Love the hot blade - looks much easier than what others suggested. Thanks for sharing this
  • Great another mimic to add to my ever growing collection of them! Soon I will have my mimic army!
  • @yo5tan
    This is some absolutely incredible craftsmanship right here
  • @CraigMayhem
    Right on! Armature wire! I love using that with EVA. Mimic pumpkin looks awesome btw.
  • @alexmh6131
    So so so freaking good! Wow! This could also easily be converted into a mask as well I would have thought! The creative juices are flooding the floors with this one
  • @billy1673
    This is a level of skill and patience I will NEVER know! Well done!
  • Amazing!!! The detailed step by step explanation in this video is outstanding! I definitely learned a lot! Thank you!!
  • @mania4k0
    This is the best pumpkin project I would ever see! 🎃
  • I made similar teeth for a scary project this year using termoworx plastic from Amazon. They're so easy, you just melt the little beads in hot water and then mould them into the shape of a tooth. I ended up also using scissors to cut the ends to look sharper. I definitely want to give this pumpkin a try next year!
