Steel Sculpture Model





When building the Entry Sculptures, we had to make "Wire Frame Models". A lot of effort went into making the models. They were used to create the paper templates needed to cut the Stainless Steel body parts. The owners had the clever idea to reuse them and make useful! We just made some simple logo's and nifty new steel bases and Wala!
Much Thanks to all that helped with this especially Eric @ Flat Rock Productions - His concept and follow trough was amazing!
