Custom fiberglass sculptures and displays

The process

How fiberglass are actually made

A two-metre character is not a scaled-up toy. The skin has to carry its own weight, the base has to survive wind and foot traffic, and the paint has to hold colour under UV. Fiberglass reinforced plastic on a steel armature solves all three, and it can be built from the same 3D model used for the small figure.

What you actually decide

Structure and base

The armature is designed for the place the piece will stand. An indoor lobby piece and a wind-loaded outdoor piece need different steel, different anchors and different access for installation, so the site conditions belong in the first conversation.

Removable base or cast-in anchors
Split sections where a doorway is the limit

Surface and colour

GRP is sanded, primed and painted with automotive-grade material, then sealed with a UV-stable clear coat. Metallic, gloss and matte finishes are all possible; a colour match against a physical brand chip is checked under daylight.

Questions we get before a first order

Straight answers

With the right paint system and drainage, yes. Tell us the climate and whether the piece is fixed or moved between sites; both change the specification.
