We built these EPS foam sculptures for a parade and the props had to be light enough for
children to pull. The props also had to be durable. The foam sculptures have a urethane
hard coat. Each section can disconnect from the other easily. This 3 dimensional display
is one of the more light hearted projects we've built. The guy in helmet just hopped off his
motorcycle. We don't wear biker helmets at work!

This head was made for the Downtown Denver Aquarium. It sits on top of a donation box so it sees its fair
share of abuse. The teeth are what break constantly. Even though they had metal pins in them.
We removed the existing teeth, cut holes into the fiberglass gums, cut teeth from 1/4 inch aluminum
plate, sculpted them to be more teeth like but not dangerously sharp, epoxied the teeth back into the
gums, used nail polish to repaint the gums and lastly painted the teeth with porcelain bath tub paint.
Sometimes the most work goes into the smaller projects!

These retail product displays were made a few yrs. ago for OxyClean!
I just enlarged their products for a store front display. The customer needed
large, durable lightweight props to suspend from fishing line. No stain is
too tough for this spray bottle!

Here it is! My last 2 weeks; cutting and piecing together wood, welding steel braces and gluing vinyl images…
This was a great challenge and we didn't use the traditional foam sculpture approach. Sometimes foam isn't
the way to to build a giant billboard prop. This big prop was designed by Amelie Company in Colorado and was
built for the Colorado State Patrol's ad campaign. Specifically "Don't tailgate". Thanks to Ted Mills for the smooth
crane installation !!!

This is the 2nd Aircannon for our friends in Chicago. The mean looking mascot shoots t shirts
and other promotional items to the fans of the Chicago Bulls. What makes this foam sculpture unique
is: the eyes light up and the horns are removable in case of a collision and for shipping. The
3 dimensional prop is made of EPS foam and is hard coated with fiberglass. This small project was
fun to make!!!!

This big Hot Dog is part of an Aircannon t shirt gun for Kayem foods. Anything you can think of can be
incorporated into a 3d sign or prop to promote your company, event, product or service! We sculpt
EPS foam and coat the prop with either fiberglass or urethane hard coat. The end result is a exciting
new 3d prop for your potential customer to see and remember. Quality 3d props shows your customers
that you're serious about creative ways to be noticed. Let us build your crazy designs!

Ok this ones a little different for us. Its a hot dog w/ a condom on it! My customer Aircannons Inc. told me
it's for the performer Meatloaf. He'll be using it as a stage prop. I like the weird jobs now and then. The
challenge on this custom sculpture was the condom. If you happen to go see him in concert than lookout.

We built this crazy foam prop for a sarcastic billboard ad for TDA Advertising in Boulder Colorado.
It has a steel skeleton for strength, surrounded by a sculpted foam shape, coated in fiberglass. Then the
actual fabric was pulled over the shape. This build system allowed us to save the client a few grand on the cost.
The 3d billboard prop helps get the point across!
