Hmm... well I can't help you with that =/
I'm sure someone else here can provide you with some information on the subject though.
Gotta be careful when using styrofoam, as things easily eat through and "melt" it. Previous experience has taught me that much..
Keep it up though!

Damn that looks real good now...

You might have to turn it into a mould and cast it after you detail the foam to get a "hard" prop out of it.

Though the experts, when they weigh in, may say differently.

 

[link4044]

you cant mould that type of foam, you'll need to seal it 1st

Only things google could come up with...

second one is pretty small, so I don't know if it will be much use to you.

Wow, that first picture was from the Halo 3 Alpha, Anyone notice its still the Halo 2 hands, Its simply the Halo 2 FP model with rocket launcher anims. Its when they were just using it as a place holder to make it look better then just a floating spartan laser.

I while back I had two giant perfect side refs of the Slazer but no longer do.

Polyurethane will create a hard, thin plastic layer; then you can fiberglass.

Umm , bud
i dont know if this will work to actually ''seal'' your work but i used liquid plastic on my foam magnum and it didnt eat the foam so i know its safe to use .....maybe try putting a few coats of liquid plastic on it .....other than that maybe just stand it up and use a light glue...
thanks for reading ...hope it helps...
