Tany Foundry just accomplish a larger than life size sculpture. Here is a short description how we make it.

  • Sculpture profile:
  • Solider: 1.5 times larger life size figure
  • Material: Bronze
  • Method: Sand casting
  • Bronze casting by Tany Foundry

Step One: Digital scanning. The digital file is gained by scanning a monumental soldier sculpture with a portable 3D scanner.

 

Step Two: CNC Milling and Finishing

  2. I think I will send you some images of pieces I have done …it would be intersting to see how much it would cost for you to enlarge them (and ship them here)

  3. Hello,

  6. Great job Owen, your people rock! I particularly liked seeing the scale of your CNC mill, and the steps leading up to the finished sculpture. I hope you get final images from the artist when the piece is installed, as these would be a great finale to a great job.
    As usual, well done! I want to create at this scale…now all I need is an introduction to someone with “deep pockets”! Who do you know who want to invest in new media monumental, solar powered sculpture?
    Best,
    Steve

  7. In step two, what is the material that you are milling?

    • EPS foam.

  8. Nice job all the way through. I like your patina. Was it applied hot? Ferric Nitrate, perhaps?

  9. Beautiful seamless finish. Was the back framing material also in bronze with a different patina? would love to see photos of the finished work in situ! Thanks Owen.
