Creating a giant version of the Ryder Cup Golf Trophy, for the 2023 Ryder Cup in Rome, Italy. Predominantly carved from polystyrene / styrofoam, moulded and cast in glass fiber and resin, with a gold effect paint finish, standing at about 2.4m tall.

The base of the trophy without the rest of it looks like a giant and delicious chocolatey caramel tiered cake... 😋

absolutely brilliant work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@beardedghinzu4336]

Holy mother! This is insane work!

[@TheKruizr]

It came out absolutely perfect, as usual.. 😊👍 👏👏👏

As always, a stunning job! the airbrushed wood grain could not have been any more realistic! Every time you post a video, I get inspired to do something out of foam! Most of my foam work is for stage productions, and it is mostly flatwork, but I have had fun building pirate ships and the like out of foam, on a grand scale. This is always a learning channel for me, as I pick up little tricks along the way to better my work.
Thanks so much for what you guys do!

Aden, The photos at the end say it all.
The whole team is a delight to watch.
Your studio brings joy wherever it goes.
This one kinda messed with my head,
the trophy on YT seems big &
then again little, all at the same time.
Love the little dances snuck in, as well.
I'm pretty sure, this would be a dream job, air?

[@SonofDadSC]

Thats an absolute beauty

[@ArmouryTerrain]

Well if this video doesn't take the cup!
I am a little surprised that you did not water cut some of the repeating pattern pieces. The finished cup looks fantasatic.

[@tobymilo8625]

Absolutely beautiful as usual! The attention to detail is impeccable. I love to watch you and your team work. Thanks for sharing your talents with us. Keep on posting please lol. Ps where can I get those large styrofoam blocks cheap? I love to make things out of foam but just can’t afford to spend too much these days. Thanks

Good❤❤❤❤❤

[@fabiancbarrio]

Fantastic. I always wonder why you make molds to create the object with fiberglass, instead of simply covering the styrofoam original and working on the details on the fiberglass. I don't think it's because of the weight.

[@AdenHynesSculptureStudios]

Hi Fabian. For items with a lot of detail, covering the master pattern with the fibreglass means that the form is blanket coated and all of the shape somewhat softened a little. It then requires a lot of surface covering with resins, fillers, not to mention a lot of detail work with these tougher materials to achieve what you're after.
By working with softer materials like polystyrene and plasters for the detail in the original master pattern, it's much easier to work with, sand down, clean up, etc etc, to achieve the detail. By which, creating a mould and then a cast, means that all of the detail work has already been achieved, and there should be significantly less work when working with the tougher materials like the resin and glass fibre.
It also has the added advantage of now being a hollow cast, making room for any internal metalwork etc.
I hope this answers your query :)
