I tried to carve one of these in styrofoam just to show it to the kids after reading about it a year or so ago, but the material was too soft/porous. It's on my project TODO list if I can ever talk the wife into letting me buy a 3d printer or glowforge.

Maybe you can coat the styrofoam with paint or glue? Or cut it from wood?

Yes, or even plastic and glue or acrylic, or even lego, anything has better chance than convincing wife. ;)

Forgiveness, not permission. :)

Haha, cash isn't the limiting factor -- it's the hours of disappearing into the workshop to leave her with childcare duties. I just need to wait for the kids to get a bit older and I can make it a team activity.

Yeah. Cherish that time, tho. Kiddos grow up so fast.
