It was discovered recently that the original casts for the BAFTA mask were lost and so we were asked via Mindcorp, to create a new master; a standard by which all future masks would be judged.
Firstly we 3D scanned an existing mask to create a wire mesh model. From this, we were able to cast a wax full sized maquette to check the integrity of the 3D file and output.
Once this got approval from the client we went on to making a resin master and finally a fully cast bronze, which has been created using fine art casting, the highest level of casting quality using only the finest investment powders.
Extra detail has been managed through this process and a much finer degree of finish, polish and patina. The master now sits in a glass cabinet in the BAFTA headquarters for all to see.
Please complete the contact form, listing as many details as you can and we will aim to get back to you within 48 working hours.
