Sculptural Model Making

This area of the service we provide is the soft and intuitive side of model making, where in some cases the artist is allowed to design the product. The interpretation of the abstract forms that can create a new feel to the gifts and art we have in our homes. Sculptural modelling can also be one of the most precise and testing disciplines, when it is applied to recreating a licensed character, for example Disney or Marvel characters. Each of the sculptural models has to be precise in every way, to follow the artistry of the original design.

Sculptural model makers have to often follow a brief that come in the form of a few photos of a person. Form that information they have to form a sculptural model that tells the customer exactly who they are looking at. This takes many sculptural models to be able to do this with confidence and accuracy.

Sculptural model making is responsible for the Madame Tussauds collection of figures that most of us have been to see. We as a company made a collection of figures for Corgi and under licence to Madame Tussauds. These were only very small sculptural models, about 75mm high. But they still had to capture the individual facial features of the people we were portraying.

All of the licensed work we have done has to be accurate to the character. Sculptural model makers have to check and re-check the work so you can’t tell the difference between the work of one sculptor and another in licence work. The licensor has to approve the finished piece so that the product can be put into production, and then has to approve the final production item. before the goods can be delivered. Sculptural modelling is the skill that forms the product that adorns our homes and offices, as man or woman does not live by bread alone!
