This is exactly the type of tutorial I was looking for ! I want to make a Robert Baratheon helmet from Game of Thrones and it uses antlers on a helmet. So my goal is to make a foam helmet and somehow form it around the antlers! Thanks for the help!!!

Fantastic job! That looks amazing! I definitely want to give that a try. Is this type of putty durable? Will it crack easily once it’s cured?

Hello! What other alternative products do you recommend using instead of the free form air epoxy?
@ReynoldsamPlus

You could use Free Form Sculpt epoxy as well, but the result will be heavier.
Are they very uncomfortable to wear? Like if you were to suddenly turn your head would they hold on well or topple over? I'm planning to make my own for a fair
very good video

Where did you get the 1/4" aluminum wire, I've looked everywhere where I live. Could you send me a link to what you used?

I made my antlers out of only clay foam and they're very floppy when I walk.. Do you know how I can make it more rigid before I paint it?!
Can I use normal air dry clay to form the antlers on the wire? Would it change anything besides the weight?
@ReynoldsamPlus

Air dry clay may crack as it dries. Free Form air would not.
Can I paint the Free Form AIR epoxy with acrylic or spray paint?

Yes, but we recommend you use a good quality auto body primer for best adhesion.
Hey guys, where did you get your wire? I got some 1/4" aluminum armature wire and it looks HUGE compared to what you have there. Is it just me?

Hi Chris. 1/4" aluminum wire was indeed used. Should you find that 1/4" is too big you can scale down to 3/16".
Is the final result heavy on the head/neck?

The free form air I found on amazon says trial size. Is that enough for this project? I'm planning on making more tines than you did.

Hi Anne, we don't have exact numbers on this, but the lengths would depend on your particular project.
I was wanting to make thick ram horns, could I use the tin foil method as a base? Will this epoxy adhere to that?

Yes, epoxy should adhere to the foil.

Reynolds Advanced Materials thank you so much for answering! I would need to use gold black and brown paint. What do you recommend?

Once the epoxy is primed with a suitable sandable primer such as Plasti-Cote Sandable Auto Body Primer, any paint can be used.
what is the length of the horns?

Why not use real antlers
@justapineapple8464

I was thinking that or just buying made ones but the reason is because how heavy they are like that unless you use something smaller
