I've used a hack saw blade to cut the foam form down into something a bit more torso shaped.
It's worth noting that the foam isn't like styrofoam.  It's a tough plastic, and cutting it like this made a terrible mess of sharp sand sized bits that got everywhere.

At this point I realize I've maybe used too much polyurethane mix.   The plastic bag & duct tape mold inside is swelling up, and has actually knocked out the cardboard frame at the bottom. 

The first mold I made for my Eviscerated Torso project Halloween decoration.

I took the easy way out and used a combiation of cardboard, plastic bags, duct tape, and an old shirt. The old shirt helps define the shape.

The cardboard tube down the middle is to ensure the opening forms correctly. The open bag is where the two part polyurethane solution will be poured.
