as a warning for those thinking of using the model magic method: for longer horns, there's a risk of them bending a bit and the model magic ripping. you may also find you don't really like the way the texture comes out.

I'm about to try using pool noodles for larger horns, as I've seen someone on The Tumblies doing.
I've tested the material with splashes of stuff that usually melts styrofoam (nail varnish, etc.) and nothing happened, so it should be all good with the resin? I'll probably do a layer of thin papier mache anyway, though - just for texture? I don't think the bumpy porous texture of the sanded noodle is exactly great for troll horn texture.
I have high hopes, though! Pool noodles are really light, and the hollow core means they can be put onto a mold or something - like a spiral garden stake, maybe? - to be shaped. I have a spare that I might try heat-shaping, too. If only I had a heat gun... Maybe a hair dryer will work?

beetlecat.livejournal.com/117553.htmlThis is a tutorial for celluclay! I've actually used the stuff before on other projects and it's really light and, best of all, tough as nails. This tutorial in particular isn't for Homestuck horns persay, but still useful :)

Also about my concerns on Model Magic, as soon as your horn dries, touching them increases the chances of having ugly, huge-ass cracks on them. As for texture, without paint the clay is quite smooth, but depending on your level of artistery on painting, the texture of the clay is most likely going to end up rough. However, you can use clear nail polish to have a shiny and smooth texture on thy horns.
