The stone rat sculpts can be seen in Medusa’s cave as a grisly foreshadowing of her petrifying abilities. Our props team sculpted a pack of five rats, and artworked them by hand to high levels of realism to replicate the texture of both fur and stone. We have provided a number of other props, sculpts and set pieces for the BBC fantasy drama ‘Atlantis,’ including crumbling ruins, the rusted hull of a submarine and various soft prop swords.
Other projects which have required realistic artworking and handpainted finishes include the Ghosts in the Garden Georgian Listening Devices, the BBSRC Midge and the Royal Artillery Monument. All of these sculpts and projects involved the talents of our artists and were intricately crafted by hand
