Concept designs are by Johnny Frazer Allen. The drawings and then the original small sculptures of the guinea pig fantasy figures were done for a private client in New Zealand. The client was so pleased, that the commission expanded to include houses for both the sculpted guinea pigs and the clients real ones to live in. About half the houses roofs come off for access to clean and add lIghting. 
All work being carried out by Pal Tiya International Creative Director Kim Beaton and Weta Model- maker Zac Johnson.
All houses are being sculpted using tinfoil armatures and Pal Tiya Premium!
 
We hope you enjoy seeing the making of these.

Pictures of the back of the tinfoil house Kim Beaton is making at Weta. 

These are the half Timbers and the roof scales. They are being made separately so they can be all glued on tomorrow. 

The small roof has been made from the pieces of roofing tiles that were constructed.  They’ve been glued together on top of a cardboard and foil base

Kim has now put a 3mm coating over the entire lower half of the house. This will cure and she’ll begin adding details the next day. 

The young man’s name is Zac Johnson and he was enjoying working on these with Kim on the Weta stage! He kept working whilst Kim was off for a few days...

Close to finishing the first house! Looking beautiful...
