Drilling Soft Foam Potatoes

I wasn't successful trying to "drill out" an engine mount hole in the stress ball potato!
I can easily drill and hollow a hole in the round ball Styrofoam Sputnik model kits.
But the soft, heavy rubber potato won't fly! In this form, it won't end up being a kit.

I night do a "one-off" carving a potato out of white Styrofoam. Then I'll have to get some foam safe paints.
I haven't given up on this one, I think it'll be pretty funny.

  2. Thanks Chris, but the unit price is more than I can go to produce kits!
    Even though they say "lightweight foam" they have turned out to be soft stress balls.
    I have six others on order to hopefully find the right one.
