Bill Kenwright Limited Laughing Sailor
For the theatre production Sleuth, the Bill Kenwright company came to us to build a working laughing sailor prop based on the originals built in the 1950s.
Fibreglass is extremely durable and lightweight and is a suitable choice for most large scale props and small props.
We excel in the construction of fibreglass props. Our fibreglass props come highly rated because of the longevity of the material and because of their ease of storage. They are lightweight yet strong, as well as being highly versatile. Fibreglass props also lend themselves to mass production; we can mould from an initial sculpture or prop to make exact copies, and we can replicate any surface, meaning that we can make 20 foot high replica trees, or brick walls that look like the real thing but without the weight.
Fibreglass props are a popular choice when creating giant props due to their lightweight nature or creating several if not thousands of duplicates for retail display campaigns. We start with a clay or polystyrene carving, then mould and cast in fibreglass. Fibreglass can be coated over polystyrene once it’s protected with aluminium foil, or we use an epoxy resin which is less corrosive. We can work from your 2-D drawings or 3-D artwork, and if you have your own moulds we are able to cast fibreglass from these. The benefits of using fibreglass props are:
We’ve been creating fibreglass props for Microsoft Rare since 2015 which have been flown and seen around the world at various gaming epos. We have a long-standing relationship with Ralph Lauren which has seen our fibreglass props showcased in various retail stores all over Europe. Whether you have an upcoming promotional or marketing campaign, exhibition or event a fibreglass prop will meet the intended objective and desired experience.
