I am putting a set of caribou antlers on a form and thy extend passed back board. Any ideas on how to alter the form so the antlers clear the wall? Thanks Bill

Cut the manikin about six inches behind the head and cut out a wedge that will allow the antlers to clear the wall(tipping the head away from the wall). Put the parts together with bondo then drill a hole in the wooden block and screw in a threaded rod the length of the neck for support.Leave the end of the rod even with the wood.Reshape the neck detail at the joint and you're finished. Good luck...JL
Trim the antlers.
Do pretty much as JL said. But I would either do it at the Junction Of the head. or the shoulder. As you will loose neck diameter in masking the bend look natural mid neck. If the clearance is close. Then a wedge in the skull plate may also work.
