Feature Film
This is the life size (the
skull is 4-foot-long) high relief sculpture of the
fossilized remains of Tyrannosaurus Rex, who served
as both mascot and nemesis in the film Jurassic
Park. This is example of the importance of
research.

Brom Stoker’s Dracula
From the feature film,
this life-size entry guard was carved in green
foam. This is a compilation design adapted from
several Romanesque style research materials. A
silicone mold was taken, and more than 50 plaster
castings of the sculpture adorned the set. This
sculpting method adapts well to a variety of
landscape sculptures.

Batman Returns
The feature film demanded
this colossal sculpture, 50 feet tall as one of a
mirror pair. The carving dwarfs the artists and
crew at its base. An extensive steel armature was
fabricated, over which was sprayed Urethane
insulation foam. Saws-All's and auto body
sanders were used to carve and refine the shapes.
As shown it is ready for a patina.

An MGM Mascot
Light and fanciful, this
cartoon style mascot is 5 feet tall and was created
as a companion to the owlish character above to
greet visitors in the MGM Grant Hotel and Casino
lobby. The shape of this piece allowed for a direct
fiberglass application over the green foam
sculpture. After sanding and painting, the statue
was ready to install. No mold was necessary.

MGM Grand Welcoming Committee
Working from drawings,
Sculptor Thomas W. Pottage created this
four-foot-tall greeter to welcome hotel guests.
Shown in progress, the figure was created
using green foam, cast in fiberglass and given a
bronze-like finish.

Hook Masthead
Carved for the feature
film Hook, this life-sized figurehead was created
from light-weight materials, perfect for a variety
of business and private special events. In this
case, the figure-head became a feature at the cast
and crew party. A number of surface materials work
well with green-foam sculpture in interior
applications such as window displays or as exterior
figures or landscaping features.
