Hand carving a giant polystyrene / styrofoam dragon carving, created for Dragonforce's 2019 Europe tour. Commissioned by Bex Lowe, the sculpture stood at 2 meters tall, and was later coated in glass fibre and artworked.

there is something about designing things the old-fashioned way that brings more satisfaction to an end result of a project that you will never feel doing the project with a 3D printer.

I'm currently a production arts student and would love to make it into this industry! I've binge watched your videos and have decided that this is definitely what I want to do after I go to drama school!

[jennylawson]

It's like watching a dream come real step by step. Incredible and stunning work..

[robyarrow]

I loved dragon force in collage. I did not realize they were still together.

Beautiful work.

[paulaneary]

Truly beautifully STUNNING. I liked it in white. But I am sure it looked great on stage also!

[agradoville]

Love love love!! Amazing detail, love to see the carving process and of course, the dancing! A joy to watch your videos. Keep'em coming.

Wow! I've just discovered this video for Styrofoam sculpting and it is just what I was searching for.
Who knew polystyrene could be so amazing and beautiful!
Good job! I am inspired to do my own sculpture.
Maybe you all can share something about the tools and gadgets you all use to assemble such a large artwork.
Peace and keep up the awesome designs!

It’s always inspiring watching ayden’s team create

[blakeanderson]

Polystyrene is by far my favorite sculpting medium. I enjoy it so much. Maybe one day I to can do it for a living.

[gedion]

aw man, i use to do this years ago. finding this video makes me so happy ^__^ Wish i could do this again

[johnwasula]

Beautiful craftsmanship guys! I do polystyrene sculpting, but nothing close to your scale! Thank you for posting this video. Its a treat to watch you work (and have a bit of fun too!)

[DrethNET]

I am impressed by everything but above all, two main things.

1) The level of respect and trust to allow everyone to carve and following the entire team's vision is awesome
2) During carving I don't see anyone blowing away or dispersing the shavings

[maleahlock]

I didn't allow myself to watch this until I had blocked out columns and architraves for my next project. Never have I worked so quickly. Love the dancing 😆😆

[VenganceStudio]

this came as a YouTube recommended video, and im glad it did, some great work gone into it as you've worked till nearly midnight (while others have just had a good dance lol)

[MegaNarcotics]

I like the way its hands on no easy way out, like using 3d printers

[nathans.]

Love watching your videos, but love watching you guys having fun, even more!

[WorldLivehindi]

Awesome work Aden it's an treat to watch your work

[MeBeTheDB]

Did I happen to see some carvings for the STAGE / PROSCENIUM area from 'PHANTOM OF THE OPERA' (the film) in the background? In short, you folks rock. Bravo. The things that can be created non-CGI these days is fantastic-!

[aaronknight]

That is a great job very good dragon model

[nigeldonaldson]

im impressed by the fact that you generally don't rely upon a boting computer to do the carving i.e- "computer guided lathe" instead your old school, (though this must take much longer) I also use foam for sculpture, BUT I use house insulation foam, i'm finding that this doesnt stick well to it'self l not even with hot glue or expanding foam, I don't supose you (or anyone watching can tell me where I can get whatever glue they use to stick the silver thermol sheet to the back of the foam sheets, which is a VERY strong adhesion)
your collective work NEVER disappoints incidently, your all very talented & not afraid of a challenge I see.
