To celebrate the Queen’s 90th birthday, Legoland set up a street party in front of their own Mall in front of their recreation of Buckingham Palace.

And what would a street party be without bunting!

We made around 50 feet of Union Jack bunting that was draped down ā€˜The Mall’ and around the ā€˜Victoria Fountain’ in front of ā€˜Buckingham Palace’.

What do gnomes and fire buckets have in common? Whisky of course!
Ok, so for those that are still confused, this commission was part of a limited edition set of artworks created by Sir Peter Blake and Macallan Whisky to celebrate the godfather of pop art’s 80th birthday.

The artwork was a box that displayed miniature bottles of whisky with items and pictures, which take you through the past 8 decades of The Macallan.

Our part in the project was to make around 150 gnomes and fire buckets.
As amusing as 150 gnomes fishing on a tray looks, it was one of the least amusing commissions we’ve ever done. Each one of the 150 gnomes were cast and painted and adorned with a little wooden fishing rod along with the fishing line… I still have nightmares of gnome armies invading my home! The fire buckets had to be painted and filled with water (resin), an easier job but again, a tad repetitive!

After many hours work and a lot of cramp in painting hand, it was pretty satisfying to see the final results.

Never again.

Over the years we’ve had quite a few requests for things we currently make, but in a different scale. This commission was forĀ a digital marketing company who approached us to make a larger version of our 1/12th scale deckchairs. This was for their client who wanted them for beach themed hard drive display. I know what you are thinking and we didn’t understand either. Usually technology plus sand is a disaster waiting to happen! Despite our confusion, I think the result looked quite effective and they were certainly a nice job to work on.
