Icon World: Sochi 2014 Fibreglass Mascots

Well, the Olympics in London is finally here and so we've been making mascots. Not the weird ones for the London Games but nice friendly mascots for the Russian Winter Olympics.
We have been working with the delightful team at Icon World to create a winter scene, featuring the three mascots designed to represent the local wildlife; a speed-skating Polar Bear, a dancing Hare and a snowboarding Leopard.
The fibreglass mascots were first carved from polystyrene, coated in GRP and then beautifully art-worked by the team in our workshop. We also fabricated a turreted igloo and a number of other snow-covered items like glaciers and tree stumps to finish off the icy scene.
It took two days in the blazing sun to install this frozen scene at Marble Arch, London. Luckily nothing melted and the mascots have been well received by the public. Bring on Sochi 2014!
