Do we ever have failed castings of statues? Yes, we do, and it is very tragic, a lot of time and material goes into each statue. We take every precaution to reduce failures, however, it inevitably happens on occasion. This video shows what happens when a life-size nativity Holy Family statue does not turn our right. The mask not only protects the artisan from fumes but also protects the ears of those around him from hearing his words when a statue fails and it has to be discarded and started over.

Demolding of a life size nativity sheep statue by Big Nativity. The fiberglass and silicone mold are removed revealing the statue which is cast in bonded marble.

The Two Kings statue is the largest of the Big Nativity statues. It is two kings together in one statue. A Standing King with a staff, and a Kneeling King. The kneeling king is holding his gift, while the standing king grasps his staff and has his gift for the Savior at his feet. Reach out to us through our Contact page.
