Ravensburger Play Figures

The game manufacturer Ravensburger is known worldwide for its board games and puzzles. In order to arouse the curiosity of customers, it strives to set up some popular game figures in front of the shops.

For this purpose, ACCENTFORM recreated a number of the game figures in sizes between 1.2-1.5 metres. These were four characters from four different games: the rabbit from Lotti Karotti, the penguin from Plitsch-Platsch Pinguin, the cockroach from Kakerlakak and the mole from Mole Company.

First, 3D models were created from the 2D figures. Then the greatly enlarged play figures were CNC-milled into a hard foam and encased in GRP using the hand-laminate process. Finally, priming and airbrush painting took place. Particularly important was the adherence to the corporate design. A base plate gave the objects a pedestal that protects against falling over and theft.

 

Horse figure Spirit

The wild mustang Spirit is the hero in a well-known Super RTL series and is now known not only to girls between 6-9 years. He is a special friend and soulmate of 12-year-old Lucky and accompanies her daily on her exciting adventures.

On behalf of the advertising agency PIE Five Marketing, ACCENTFORM produced a true-tooriginal 2m high Spirit figure made of GRP for the children’s TV station Super RTL. First, the body was milled from Styrofoam on a CNC machining center using the CAD files supplied. In order to obtain a hard and weatherproof surface, the soft Styrofoam surface was coated with a 2 mm thick GRP layer using the hand lay-up process. In order to create a smooth and even surface, the entire area must be filled, sanded and primed. This work process is very time-consuming and essentially affects the product quality. Professional painting by graffiti artist BeNeR1 breathed life into the horse sculpture. To protect the airbrush painting and for a nature-identical look, an extremely matte clear coat was finally applied. The finished sculpture is mounted on a mobile base plate with four wheels to ensure mobility at changing exhibition locations.

Paw Patrol Figuren aus GFK - Werbefiguren

Paw Patrol – dog figures

The popular Canadian series PAW Patrol inspires children of preschool age all over the world. The heroic rescue squadron, consisting of six rescuers on four paws, is the center of attention. We were allowed to produce two of these adorable characters in large format on behalf of the Advertising agency PIE Five Marketing the fearless, smart Skye and the athletic Chase.

First, the figures were milled from Styrofoam on a CNC machining center using the CAD files supplied. In order to obtain a hard and weatherproof surface, the soft Styrofoam models were coated with a 2 mm thick GRP layer using the hand laminate process. To create a smooth and even surface, the entire laminate layer had to be
sanded and primed.

The graffiti artist BeNeR1 ensured that the animal sculptures were painted true to the original. To protect the surface, matte clear lacquer was finally applied.

In the end, the beautiful sight of these two friendly dog heroes will delight not only children’s hearts…

JCVD - Skulptur XXL

Oversized sculpture of JCVD

At the end of 2017, the new streaming series “Jean-Claude Van Johnson” started exclusively on AMAZON. For the worldwide film premiere on 12.12.2017 in Paris, we were commissioned by the event agency GRAL to create an oversized sculpture. The statue is to represent the famous action hero Jean Claude van Damme, who plays himself in the JCVJ series.

Part of the order was two columns including pedestal under the feet of the monumental figure. The columns were made of styrofoam and the pedestals were made of wooden panels and finished with marble look.

We first roughly milled the 2.7 m wide figure from Styrofoam. All details, such as facial features and muscle parts were modeled manually by the artist Waldemar Neumann according to photo templates. The Styrofoam surface was then given texture and gold patina. Our sculpture literally went down well in Paris, cut a fine figure next to the action hero at the premiere and even made it into the “Bild” newspaper.

Giant meat cheese roll

YOU WOULD LOVE TO BITE INTO IT

We were commissioned by Globus Homburg-Einöd to create a giant meatloaf roll. This collos is now part of the walk-in exhibition in the popular shooting location – the Fancy Pop Up Gallery in Saarbrücken. Visitors are allowed to flash off there with this unique piece. Even the popular Saarland superhero Captain Maggi found the XXL “Fleischkäse Weck” to be a bite and has described it as “the dream of every Saarlander”.

The roll model consists of three parts. These were first individually milled from Styrofoam using the 3D data and then coated with a polyurea hotcoat. The surface was sanded and primed by hand. Afterwards, the graffiti artist BeNeR1 provided a “tasty” look.

As these shots attest, you can even make yourself comfortable on the robust surface of the giant huge bun.

Big TV mouse figure

Who doesn’t know her – The Mouse from the Westdeutscher Rundfunk, known from the “Sendung mit der Maus”?! On March 7, 2021, she will be an incredible 50 years old and still enjoys great popularity. She has accompanied us for several generations – without a word, but always with a loud wink. 😉

On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of TheMouse and its laughing and factual stories, ACCENTFORM was commissioned by WDR to produce a big mouse figure. We scaled and adapted the 3D data provided by the customer. Based on these data, we milled and assembled the model in several segments using our 5-axis milling machines. This styrofoam figure was then encased in fiberglass using a hand-laminating process. The surface was sanded by hand and colored by airbrush according to exact customer specifications. A final, extremely matt clear varnish serves to protect the airbrush paint. To give the large mouse a stable hold, the finished sculpture was mounted on a round metal plate. A special highlight for us during the work was the visit of the WDR film team. The station accompanied part of the production and summarized it in a film report.

Sea snake in a roundabout

This 5 m high figure, reminiscent of Scottish monster “Nessie”, was designed by one of the participating students as part of a competition at the Laborschule Bielefeld. The shrill sea serpent stands for individuality, surprise and creativity and convinced the vast majority of students and teachers at the Laborschule Bielefeld.

The design sketch served us as a template for the realization of this project. First, a 3D CAM drawing was created from the two-dimensional drawing by our CAD specialists. Based on the 3D model, we first milled the giant snake figure out of Styrofoam. Divided into several segments, this Styrofoam model was molded with fiberglass using the hand lay-up process. The individual elements were then joined to form a large, hollow GRP figure and additionally stiffened from the inside. After the plastic surface was filled, sanded and primed, the work of art was given a bright paint finish.

The figure, weighing about 500 kg (1,100 lbs), was secured with a wooden frame for transport. On site, it was placed in the middle of the traffic island by means of a crane and firmly mounted by our team on a prepared concrete foundation. Since then, this unique and eye-catching eye-catcher attracts the attention of motorists and passers-by and provides a moment of surprise for one or the other.
