    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?

    Free Form AIR is a durable epoxy once fully cured.

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

    You could use Free Form Sculpt epoxy as well, but the result will be heavier.

    Can I use normal air dry clay to form the antlers on the wire? Would it change anything besides the weight?

    Air dry clay may crack as it dries. Free Form air would not.

    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".

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