I really like these Wella Hair care models. They are very large, the biggest being just over 6 foot tall. I think they are really striking, they are very crisp and cleanly made. Once again the main materials being polystyrene, timber and resin.

Here is another large scale exhibition model. Despite their size these models must be made very quickly as they are sculpted out of polystyrene and then coated in resin and finished to a smooth surface. This is almost exactly the same method I used for the rocks on my interactive although I have never considered using this method in quite this way before. It allows you to mass up a shape really quickly but still create a hardwearing, smooth finish.

This model I found particularly impressive because it is something where construction would normally would be very machine orientated. However they have been able to achieve these really sharp, crisp and accurate shapes simply through the normal method of polystyrene and fibreglass over a metal framework.
The interactive quality is also really impressive as they used plasma televisions to give the phones a real working screen.

The context for this model is much like my original intentions for the pen model. It is a window piece and despite its simplicity is very striking.
