Next you make a paper template and use it to cut out a pair of large antenna/antler things from the rest of your handy foam sheet.  
Then, lacking the thick pieces you still need, you visit the nearby House of Foam to get an appropriate cylinder. From that you fashion two tapered, truncated cones each with a sizable wedge removed. But before deciding just how this should look you stare at various pictures of Galactus, having found some online and having also purchased an old Silver Surfer comic so that you'd have several different depictions you can compare.
Incidentally I'm not kidding about the House of Foam. This really exists, just half a mile from my home. In an incredibly-high-rent commercial district. House of Foam? What keeps these people in business? They say they've been serving the Bay Area's foam needs for decades. Sure. I don't understand why the police don't just raid them; there must be a lot more need for foam then I usually imagine if these guys aren't selling drugs or small arms out of the back room.

Anyway, all of the pieces you need have been constructed...
