It is a pretty common building material. I am sure there must be companies in the UK that sell insulation. If you can't get in in blocks, then perhaps sheets? I know you can buy 2" thick, foil backed sheets.
If there is enough interest, I can look into buying some and shipping it out. I know that you can purchase it through the web, but I seem to get the idea that you get it in 12"X12"X12" block. I think that something like a 12"X24"X6" block might be more practical.

When I worked at a sign company we got some samples ranging from soft to rock hard.
I aquired the samples and occasionally use them for small projects. (12"x12"x1" sheets)
The harder the material the smoother you can get it.

You might try geting some balsa foam from these guys.

I think it's a bit more expensive but it's supposed to carve and sand really well. Ususally I just get big 4' x 8' sheets of blue foam from Home Depot and glue them together to get the thickness I want.

That last picture floored me....amazing. Your talent really shines with that pilot helmet....up until now I have seen decent interpretations of that helmet but you have just set the bar so high that it will be tough to raise it from here....your inner circle that is privy to your work is are fortunate indeed.

Hey Jon, did you also use this foam to build your armour from? As always amazing work.
