What is it that you do and how do you do it?
Laurens: In a nutshell, we make sets, models, props, sculpture, animatronic creatures – that’s the key range of our business. We essentially specialise in making unusual objects, particularly on the sculptural side, and we’re moving into doing more and more animatronics, which is an area of particular interest to us. We make a lot of replica props for productions, whether it’s specific pieces of sculpture or soft copies of props for special effects, such as an executioner’s axe, rubber mallets, a foam toilet.
