Garry,
I understand....... try the crafters foam sold at Walmart....(kids
crafts).... i use it to form beetles, hoppers and assorted other
dragonflies/hardshell insects. This is the high density foam...not seat cushion
stuff. Costs .48 per 1 foot square sheet...makes 100's of bugs. Adapting it to
your Crayfish.....will send you details. Foam floats well....so I am
experimenting with counter weight to get it to sink right.

Brent,
When I saw the pattern myself, they were using the tan/brown version of that --
cushion foam. I had black/grey from computer hard drives that we had bought at
work, so I used it. I like the foam b/c it's softer and wraps around nicely.

Great post Garry !!!!!!!!!! Love the pattern.........but why use that grey
"packing" foam...... craft foam easier to build with and stiffer.

After sending Allan, a copy of the pictures I took earlier today, he
said they were clear enough for him to get the idea of what I was
talking about. So here are the links:

As you can see, the foam splits the marabou tail forming the marabou
claws (you can trim these back as you like) and the foam is then made
into the back of the crayfish.
If anyone has any other questions, let me know. I'm still trying to
find where on the net that I found the pattern myself.
