STATUES
Statues and sculptures
Whether it’s realising licensed family-favourite characters or designing one of our own, we love getting to deliver statues with presence.
CAPABILITIES
Our team create digitally sculpted figures and likenesses to be realised in a range of sizes. With 3D printing, machining and fibre-glass fabrication we can turn them into life-sized statues that are sturdy and safe, and finally paint and finish them to embody all the realism needed for maximum impact.
BBC - RADIO PRESENTER BAUBLES
Range of fun festive baubles for the BBC radio to gift to their hosts. The team digitally sculpted, 3D printed, painted and packaged them to be presented on air to Fearne Cotton, Greg James, Romesh Ranganathan and Sophie Ellis-Bextor. Britain’s tallest duck ‘Long Boi’ was additionally included in memoriam.
THE REAL MARY KING’S CLOSE – PLAGUE DOCTOR
Conceived to give visitors to the historic Edinburgh landmark the chance to get up close and personal with a plague doctor, the statue was constructed at 1:1 scale, with hand-made costume for accurate textures and finished in resin for durability. A burnished metallic paint finish gave the right heritage aesthetic without the cost, weight and lead time of real bronze.
ROGER MOORE SECRET DOOR KEYPAD
A one-off piece for a customer’s home comprising a bust of the famous secret agent revealing a digital keypad within.
Each illuminating key played a different quote or sound effect from the film franchise and when pressed in the correct sequence, unlocked a doorway in the room concealed behind a bookshelf.
FUTURE GENERATIONS - GORILLA STATUES
Looking for something striking for their new halls of residence builds, Future Generation came to Designworks to design a range of bespoke giant gorilla sculptures. Coined ‘Big Jim’ he was to stand or hang in foyers and common spaces to impress, amuse and likely intimidate the students.
MADAME TUSSAUDS - SPIDER-MAN STATUES
Life-sized statue of The Amazing Spider-Man for Madame Tussauds’ iconic London venue.
The comic-book accurate design was digitally sculpted before being machined in foam and multiple fibre-glass versions cast by one of our partners. Back in our workshop the web-slingers were hand-painted and delivered to the famous wax museum as well as several other venues around London.
