My company does large fiberglass items like the Cow Parades. We often get requests for smaller versions of the large item. Like now: we have a outfit that wants a piggy bank (not a pig) of our item. Whoe does this sort of thing? They may be talking 500 + items. Thanks/ Mike www.fiberglassfarm.com[/url]

Plastercraft and ceramic is a great material for small piggy banks. These are commonly available in all varieties - animals, household objects, fantasy sculptures.

Are you planning to design your own? If so you might be able to get some good tips in the Molds section of this discussion forum on how to make your large statues into small versions.

Here are a couple example pictures...

Do you have miniature versions of the sculptures? I think if you wanted to make these in plaster, making the sculpture would be the hardest part. Maybe you have a way to shrink the projection of the larger animal? By the way your designs are very nice.

Hi/ thanks for the response. I just had another call. A client who did turtles looking for 1000-2000 cast and painted / glazed turtles 5-10" or so. Anyway: I need a supplier who can respond to these type of quotes: turtles, cows, baseball glove, piggy bank, etc. and either provide it white/unglazed or finished goods. Thank you for the compliments re: our stuff which can bne seen at www.fiberglassfarm.com. We just deliver the worlds largest longhorn steer to UT at Austin! 18' long x 11' wide x 13' hight. Fun. Anyway: help! Mike 800-545-8956
