I'm seeking assistance from my fellow internet scanners, ASAP!

I need to find a wooden or styrofoam lion face applique as quickly as possible, for as cheap as possible. It's for a stage prop, and we've blown the budget by several hundreds already -- so I'm trying to find the best deal (I need 2 to 4 of them).

So far, the only decent ones I can find are these:

$50 each:


$20 each (but they look like crap):


These are just onlay/appliques to attach to the facing of a board, not a full lion head carving.

Thanks!
Maury

Get foam. Carve one. The end.

How about plaster of paris? Try a hobby shop in your town.

The heads are going to be attached to a wood frame. Is plaster of paris sturdy enough for that? I guess I could mount them with sheet rock sinks...

That would be no problem, just mould/drill holes in the plaster and hang it on screws.
