Honoring the Legendary Selmon Brothers

WHAT CLIENT WANTS

An 18-inch replica of the Selmon Brothers’ statue at the University of Oklahoma. 

HOW WE MADE IT HAPPEN

Our client wanted a special tribute: an 18-inch replica of the Selmon Brothers statue at the University of Oklahoma, designed to be cherished gifts. While the client initially chose bronze casting, time constraints and budget considerations led us to explore alternative options. 3D printing promised a quicker turnaround, but the challenge was to have a weight that mimicked the feel of solid bronze. To address this, we settled on our silicone casting process, crafting the solid model from epoxy. Additionally, we casted the base and bodies separately, strategically reinforcing vulnerable areas like the feet and ankles. The final step involved hand-painting each piece to recreate the allure of genuine bronze and, at the same time, embrace the subtle variations inherent in handcrafted finishing.
