Guardian of the Reef Limited Edition Scaled Bronze sculptures by Simon Morris ready for pre-sale

 
The first of four castings of the full size 13' tall Guardian of the Reef bronze sculptures by Simon Morris was installed at Divetech's Lighthouse Point in West Bay, Grand Cayman on April 12 2014.



Simon is the creator of the well known bronze mermaids "Amphitrite" at Sunset Divers in Grand Cayman and "The Emerald Princess" in Powell River, British Columbia.



The 9' tall mermaid was recreated in three scaled limited editions in 2001, and now the Guardian of the Reef  will be released in 1/3, 1/6, and 1/12 scale bronze.



The 1/6 and 1/12 scale castings are now available for pre-order. 
 
Advanced laser digital scanning of the original 13’ tall sculpture combined with Stereo Lithography 3D reproduction technology creates accurate and detailed finished bronze sculptures that are faithful to the original.


The illustrations below are coloured renderings of the digital scan output. The 3D figures will be hand detailed by the sculptor. The bronze pillar has not been aged yet, and will have sculpted marine life – sponges, coral etc., added to the originals in each size before the mould are made for lost wax casting.


Both pieces will be mounted on a Travertine base
