Cold cast products

Latest products released 

our latest products are items for the giftware industry, that include bespoke unbranded ranges for private retailers, we offer a service that provides retailers with an alternative to wholesale sourcing, because retailers are often competing against themselves out of a lack of diversity within wholesale products, resulting in potential customers walking away without browsing because nothing caught their eye in the window.

No one knows the market demand better than the retailer, that is why we offer a service that lets you create your own product.

The Iconic Welsh Red Dragon / Y Ddraig Coch

These are welsh dragons made in cold cast resin, Available in a variety of finishes. the coper version more closely resembles the iconic red colour associated with the welsh dragon they are quite small at – 8.5cm tall from base to wings, and 7.5cm from head to tail, but that makes them perfect for any ware in the home, windowsills, mantle, T.V, etc. A nice fit without being to small or to big, although there is a bigger version currently in development. to get a better feel for the model why not take a look at the interactive 3D web version by clicking on the link below.

Bronze Finish

these realistic metal plate finishes are not paint effects
or a metal flake resin mix, they are a coating of real 
metal similar to plating, that is why the appearance is 
so realistic, combined with natural patina to enhance
the authentic metal look.

These models are created using traditional methods, the process begins by evaluating design ideas and then sculpting a master model before creating moulds and jig tools. Creating moulds can be the most complex, time consuming process, depending on the complexity of the artefact to be reproduced.
A well designed mould would have a careful consideration for mould parting lines and attention to small detail areas that could trap air bubbles.

We make a verity of gift ware lines for retailers throughout the U.K. You may have been into a shop recently and been surrounded by our designs, it is not always possible to brand our products.

Although these models are created using traditional methods similar methods can be utilised to create models and moulds from 3D computer generated virtual models. If you have created a model in 3d or would like your favourite computer game Avatar printed in 3D there are plenty of 3D printing services available on the WWW. Models fresh from a 3D printer will usually need some sort of finishing, before a casting mould can be built.

 toadlog.jpg This is a cold cast bronze model of a toad sitting on a log, it is beautifully sculpted with incredible detail, and it is approximately 14cm long 6cm wide and 5cm tall making it an ideal fit for any household side board / tabletop / mantelpiece / TV top etc, in my opinion this model is too nice to be used as a garden ornament, but it would look fantastic. Its appearance is rustic bronze with a natural weathered oxide patina that gives it a lovely contrast, the log that the toad/frog sits on looks like real old wood because of the oxide patina.
