Giant Cricket Balls for T20 World Cup
We created two giant cricket ball photo-op displays for CAD Industries, promoting (and featured at) the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup in NYC and Texas. Each display was crafted from urethane hard-coated carved foam in two pieces which bolt together, a flexible rubber-coated stitching center piece attaches using industrial-grade slim Velcro to seamlessly match the outer stitching and cover all seams. Starting with 3D model designs for client approval, we meticulously fabricated these impressive structures, designed the enormous shipping crates, and assisted with the graphics application, ensuring a striking and durable final product.
