Making Borderlands 3’s Giant Character Statues!
At this year’s E3, the Borderlands 3 booth stood out with six larger-than-life statues representing the games’ characters at 1.5x scale. We met up with our old friend Frank Ippolito–whose team at Thingergy built these statues–to get a behind-the-scenes look at how these mixed-media figures were fabricated. From foam milling to clay sculpting, fabric patterning to silicone casting, here’s how giant convention displays are made!
