12"H T-arms can be bent to hold masks. These are more rigid then our other "T"-arms and are not softenend. These are harder to bend but will support more weight. The upright is about 1/4". The top bar is about 1/8" x about 10" across. The base is .5" acrylic. *Note: Avoid putting pressure on soldered joints when bending.

Sometimes a standard size just isn't right. You might want a larger armature or a smaller armature, or maybe you need a stronger upright or a more delicate upright. Whatever your need we can customize or custom build an armature for you.

*Nice and sturdy, but easy enough to bend into shape, and the price feels right for the quality. It looks good and does the job without detracting from the actual display piece.
