I used it on a small cat portrait, which you can see here. Note: After using both the Free Form Sculpt and Apoxy Sculpt for many more projects, I can say that I prefer Apoxy Sculpt. Another product that’s a little easier to find (and almost exactly the same) is Apoxy Sculpt. The product I used is called Free Form Sculpt, and it’s made by the Smooth-On company.
