Champion 3D recently immersed ourselves in the fantastic world of model making which brought together 3D Design, 3D Printing, and meticulous hand finishing. Our latest commission by Gunnersbury Park & Museum involved recreating several iconic British Sci-Fi props for their latest exhibition 'Set to Stun'. The project was not only enjoyable but also showcased the fantastic capabilities of 3D Printing.
Our skilled in-house 3D Artists and Technicians at Champion 3D brought to life the F.O.A.D Gun from Red Dwarf, a Monster Prosthetic Head, and the iconic TARDIS from 'Doctor Who'.
These 3D-printed replicas are on display now and can be touched by members of the public, while the original props are behind glass. This enhances the museum experience for all visitors but most importantly improves accessibility for individuals who are blind or partially sighted.
The exhibition celebrates the world of science fiction in film and television, spanning from the 1960s to today, with a special focus on the skilled artisans, artists, and craftspeople from West London who brought these imaginative worlds to life.
From laser beams to quirky androids, from journeys to distant planets to thrilling alien invasions, visitors will be treated to a captivating and interactive display featuring sets, costumes, prosthetics, props, and artistic visualisations from beloved British Sci-Fi classics such as Doctor Who, the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, and Red Dwarf. The exhibition offers informative and engaging content for sci-fi enthusiasts and provides an enjoyable experience for families, complete with workshops designed for both adults and children.
