Built for BBC Features, the Dino Clock features in Andy’s Dinosaur Adventures as he travels back through time. Our prop making team rapidly fashioned an old-school Grandfather clock from lightweight composite material, and used various art working tricks to create a realistic aged varnish effect. We were able to cram in extra details such as ammonite end-scrolls and dinosaur zodiac clock face, and a pterodactyl on a pop-out cuckoo mechanism.
The full-sized grandfather clock model is nearly two and a half metres tall, and combines the cutting-edge convenience of our CNC machine, the traditional hand-painting techniques of our art workers, and the skills of our temporal engineers to create a working time machine.
