[riteguytu]

My latest endeavor, my first post and a quick tutorial...

With a little innovation, 'inexpensive' can be 'effective' as well!

No, Apoxie Sculpt. Super sculpey would need heat to harden and that would destroy the ORAC cornice mouldings...

This is amazing.

Is the pvc pipe strong enough to hold a statue? I guess they're not that heavy.

Firstly it comes in different thicknesses. Secondly, if you think about it, anything putting pressure on it laterally is attempting to compress it. That's where plastic's true strength lies.
I'm 6'4'' and weigh over 100kg and the pipe I use takes my weight as long as I'm standing on the circular face and not on its side...

Very true. Awesome idea.

I found a cheap custom framer in the UK. You give dimensions and pick a frame type/finish and type of glass:
