Realistic trees in the making

Realistic Trees – PDS – Virgin tree house

We were commissioned by Presentation Design Services to create artificial trees for the Virgin Holiday’s African themed tree house installation in London’s Southwark. We created 4 large tree trunks and several branches for the top section of the tree house .The main shape was carved from polystyrene and the texture applied was from a mould taken from real tree trunks which ensured we gained realistic visual results. We coated the trees with flexible hard coating polyurea for durability and to make the trees water proof. We first applied primer then top coat and paint decoration with water based paints as realistic effect as possible. The project was achieved at an extremely short time scale, we were ready for delivery within 3 weeks!

EE’s Charging Bull Glastonbury  – Presentation Design Services

We were commissioned by Presentation Design Services to create the bull. The sculpture had to be water proof, extremely durable and friendly looking. The bull was hand carved out of high density polystyrene. Steel rods inserted within the tail  for extra strength and timber blocks within hoofs for installation system. As the sculpture had to be weather proof we applied flexible coating polyurea and primered in order to prepare for a paintable surface.
Final finish was completed by PDS to  their clients  specification.
We are very proud to have completed this project at a very tight time schedule and have completed within a week! Just in  time for our client  to apply final finish.
