Working with expanding foam

We haven't really done a lot of this, but the other day, we were using expanding foam on another project. Since it will usually go bad if you don't use it all up at the time you are using it, I took what was left and made some guts, a diseased tongue, and a small brain.

After it sufficiently hardened, I took some Kryon spray paint that I had left over and sprayed the guts and the tongue with a nice red base. The brain, I took cave dust, (limestone dust), and liberally sprinkled over the brain and let it sit while it was drying. After it had dried, I shook off the remaining dust and it looks kind of okay.

Now, what do I plan on doing with these? Well, for the guts, I can do multiple things. I can use them as a static prop in the Lab scene or just about anywhere else that we have body parts laying around, or I can get an old pair of jeans, and stuff them, put the gut pile on top and make it look like a severed torso. I just haven't figured out what I am going to do.

The diseased tongue, I would like to put into a jar filled with liquid and have it displayed, probably over in the Lab area. Likewise, with the brain. I still don't know if I am going to do more painting on the brain.

When I get pictures up, I will post them.
