Cheddar Gorge Cable Car
Client: NVB Architects The basic form of the 1:1000 Cheddar Gorge model was CNC'd from a hard foam; this basic shape was then heavily re-worked to simulate the crumbling limestone cliffs of the landscape.
Seagen Tidal Turbine
Client: Marine Current Turbines The Seagen Tidal Turbine model, at 1 metre high when assembled, was built to be transported around the country for public demonstrations, and was designed to be dis-assembled and stowed safely away for transport. The gently spinning blades are held onto the motormounts by magnets. This mechanism ensures that should a curious finger try and stop the blades turning, neither are damaged. The model was coated with durable lacquers to prevent damage in transit or in assembly. The operational Seagen Turbine in Strangford Lough, Northern Ireland, has generated power equivalent to 1,500 British households' energy consumption since its construction in 2008.
Nike Monster Window Display
Client: Arno GB This Nike Monster was commissioned by Arno GB to display the Nike 6.0 Footwear Range. The monster was polycarved then cast in resin and foam and art-worked to colour specification. We made over 100 monsters in total and they were shipped out to be displayed in Nike Stores all over the world.
Life-Sized Aardman Wallace
Amalgam are proud to have sculpted a life-sized Aardman Wallace character to travel around the country as part of a promotion for Aardman's 'Wallace and Gromit's World of Invention.' When the tour was complete the sculpture spent some time in the foyer at Aardman Animations, welcoming visitors and staff to the company. We have produced many models for Aardman Animations, including sets and props for the Goo Games.
Environmental Demonstration Model
Client: Welsh Water This peripatetic demonstration model was designed to show children what happens to rain on different surfaces. Children are invited to pour a litre of water on to a variety of surfaces and measure the run-off collected beneath. The buildings and trees are made from moulded rubber, making the model both durable and fun to use.
Micelle model
Client: STFC Amalgam Display made this 1 meter diameter model of a micelle for an exhibition in Rimini, Italy for STFC - the Science and Technology Facilities Council. This shows a cluster of cells surrounding a central node with a cut away detail showing the complicated interior structure.
Midge Prop
Amalgam sculpted and art worked this giant midge prop for our long standing clients at BBSRC (Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Council), specifically for use on their exhibition stand at The Big Bang, UK Young Scientists Fair 2012 at the NEC.
Courvoisier Point of Sale
Client: The Fletcher Project This gondola end point-of-sale for a Courvoisier special promotion includes aroma flutes which release three different Courvoisier flavour aromas. The stand features a glowing backlit trim running up and around the length of the main structure. A single heat-formed piece of acrylic was sandwiched between two steel sheets and treated with light-diffusing gels to soften the light sources behind.
Point of Sale Display for Stolichnaya Vodka
Amalgam have produced many Point of Sale Display stands for The Fetcher Project, to be displayed in premium outlets in the UK and internationally. This promotional drinks display was commissioned for the travel retail market in airport duty free stores. The stand was constructed out of steel, MDF and PVC and is Euro Class B Fire Rated, in accordance with stringent airport fire regulations.
Mercedes-Benz Christmas Window Display
Client: Green Room Retail For the 2010 Christmas season, Green Room and Amalgam turned this expansive window space into a playful winter wonderland. Mercedes-Benz cars were dressed up to represent Santa's sledge being pulled by his trusty reindeer against a scenic winter backdrop of projections and window graphics. This project won the Holiday Windows (Product) category in the VMSD awards run by New York based Visual Merchandising and Store Design Magazine, in the USA.
