Creating props - 'stone blocks' for medieval play
Sun, 17 June 2012, 10:22 amTime again, to ask the experts...can anyone advise how to make /obtain stone blocks strong enough to hold 1 or 2 persons (sitting on them). I've seen several productions using similar, but I was told they were fibreglass?? We found and used a large polystyre block some years ago, that worked well, but am not sure where one would obtain similar. The poly block was approx 900MM L X 400MM H x 450MM W.....

Johny I'd forget about the Poly blocks, because they will perpetute thier own flame, even if they are covered in flame retardant doped material. Franly when I come across the Poly stuff on stage,I hoy it in the bin.
However if you need verification you can check with the local Fire Brigade.
I have used in the past milk crates or made up plywood boxes, which are easy enough to do. Or even find some kids toy boxes?
