THOMAS THE TANK ENGINE - THE TOY STORE

September 2015

A crowd puller for boys and girls

When the Toy Store sealed its deal to open its first UK, London based store on Oxford Street in a huge 27,000 sq ft shopping location in the West One centre next to Bond Street tube station – we embraced the opportunity to get on-board.  The project, one of monumental scale, saw us working with several toy manufacturers to produce exclusive sections.

A large scale sculpt of the favourite engine was carved on the Propability 3D robotic arm in pieces. Put together and fibre glassed before being sanded and sprayed in Pantones provided. In addition we provided the surround for Thomas – setting the scene of Sodor in-store together with brick panelling and a track.  Shed style cladding in MDF with high gloss green to finish as well as brick work which was scenically painted also helped to provide an immersive feel to the area. We also manufactured a 'Kevin The Crane’ primarily in timber and MDF, a carpentry work of art.
