Designer: Rhino Cast
Sculptor: Cindy Chinn

This is a sample we did to demonstrate the process of foam sculpting. Many statues you see in Las Vegas are done using this process.

The original model was scanned in 3D, then enlarged and cut by CNC computer milling.

From there we completed the detail as shown in the top section. Then a thin layer of drywall mud was applied to add firmness to the surface.

A hard coating of polymer is applied to protect the statue from the elements.

Finally, the statue is painted to match the desired look - in this case, weathered stone.

The entire process took 2 days to complete.
