Animatronic T-rex

All of the polystyrene slices are glued together and supported using scaffolding bars to create an upright sculpture.The form is refined and skin texture is added using sandpaper and various grinding tools. It takes one month to complete the sculpture of the 40ft long creature.

The polystyrene sculpture is sealed with a brush on silicone, and cut apart into smaller sections. As it is such a large sculpt, a mould making machine which both mixes and sprays out moulding material at the same time is used, first spraying on a layer of rubber to capture the detail, and then spraying on a layer of rigid plastic to result in durable mould pieces. When almost 30 mould pieces have been created, each one is de-moulded and cleaned ready for casting.
