That horse is stunning!

The horse is so majestic and the egg 🥚 just as unique and perfect

yes sean the best narrator in the world 😩

Stunning. Absolutely beautiful. Makes me itch a bit to get back to my studio.

Beautiful! Brilliant work.

Fascinating! Your work is stunning!

Absolutely OutSTALLION!!!!!!! You guys/gals are the best. Best thing on this platform.

Amazing as always!

Stunning work. 👍👏

Magnificent! Congrats!!!!!!!!

You guys did really good getting musculature reference pics! I've seen soooo many artists foul up their product because they didn't understand the underlying skeletal and muscular structure of their subject! Jelly legs, floating eyes, shrimpy legs and pin heads are some of the most bothersome things I've seen, but even weird muscle tone can irritate a person. I'm always yelling at the TV when they animate a bird flying backwards. The motion should be similar to swimming, and for some reason, people keep animating what birds do to slow down as they land, like that'll make the bird go faster in normal flight! Very nice pieces. You guys do excellent work! Very professional.

Amazing work!!

Amazing craftsmanship

Amazing work!

Beautiful work!❤❤❤

stunning work!

So glad you guys are back :)

Very beautiful work

Glad you've a new video 😊 This horse is absolutely majestic 🖤🖤🖤🖤

Glad to see you're back)

The simple but elegance of the horse and the egg….I can’t imagine the feeling one would get while working on such a project. It’s large scale would be daunting, yet so satisfying when the final coats of paint are applied. Never apologize for the rambling of the voiceover narration. You do such a fine job of explaining the process, and keep the puns down to a minimum.(actually I quite enjoy the puns!) I always enjoy seeing all your projects. I have recently worked with foam using a small hot wire, and it has changed my creativity! This is due to watching your channel and seeing what can be done in foam! Thanks so much for sharing!

Horsing around in the studio again! A bunch of good eggs you lot!

Amazing

love the horse !!

I bet you guys have lots of fun at work.

WONDERFUL!

Brilliant, at first I couldn't understand why you would show everyone so much in your videos, Now I know, Your craftsmen in the game and a very hard act to follow,

Wow, what a spectacular Masterpiece my God...

"Amadigi" is a magical opera, and this performance is likely rife with the surreal; and themed in black and orange, is my understanding. You all do terrific work. Thanks for all the fun and informative vids. Cheers, Jim from Seattle

We are eagerly waiting for your videos. Your works are great. I follow you from Iraq

I come from Indonesia, and I also like fine arts, especially Styrofoam carving, I would be very happy if I could join your team, and participate in every sculpture made from Styrofoam

Wow! Back to business and we are loving it. (#FissionCreations from India)

My husband worked on building the opera stage

Exelente trabajo me gusta y quiero aprender algunas técnicas

I LIKE IT

That horse is not a prop, it’s art.

Good horse

Bulbuli garse darun laglo

Golden Hands ..👌. Not Anybody Can Do That..👍...😍😘...🙏

Are you all, (especially Aden) blase as to what becomes of your spectacular creations after their use by date? I hope these props get re-used or passed on to another needy production/event etc. I've had work 'junked' and it smarts, I can tell you. And you seem to get a double whammy what with all the creativity AND THEN all the graft to finish the projects. (multiple resprays of the egg, on the whim of the client?, I ask you!)

Bonsoir! Magnifique 🙏 quel matière avez vous utilisé pour sculpter ce cheval ? D avance merci pour la réponse ❤️❤️❤️👍🏼👍🏼

Wowwww !!!!!

Great 👍work, gang! I thought for sure your sister was going to be lowered into the egg ! 🥚 She seems to get all the "inside jobs" !

dat paard wou ik wel heel graag bij mij ij de tuin😀👍

What is the alternative to insulating paper or are there specific ratios for hardeners and cobalt so as not to corrode the foam body?

Que belleza de caballo que artistas espectaculares

A triumphant return for the Sticky Back Foil!

Did you guys apply several layers of a concrete render or was it a car body filler and gel coat on the horse to get rid of the fiber texture. It turned out amazing! Glad you guys are getting some work.

Where can i buy those big Polystyrene foam. Ive been looking everywhere. But cant find them

What type of materials is that silver you coat in styro finish i need answer please coz i was puzzled

14:26 The division bell.

Muito bonito 👍

Очень круто!

Mantap kuda ya...kami dri indonesia

Fantástico

Another great project and video. Silly question time- since the egg was always going to be mounted on the platform, why was the access hatch not on the bottom? not a big enough area or just did not think of it?

I am from Brazil I'm looking for this type of self-adhesive aluminum that you used on the horse. Could you tell me the brand and model so I can see if I can find it in Brazil?

Hola soy Gerardo...spectacular work friend... I want to make a life-size horse and I am looking for the dimensions sizes or real measurements

Where can anyone get foam in this size? Thank you
