A series of anime, stage theatres and children’s dramas with the theme of monsters or sacred beasts from the Classic of Mountains and Seas have been promoted to the market, which has won much praise and a large number of views (online and offline).

To us (animatronic monster model manufacturer), we will not miss the business opportunity of making Chinese mythical monsters. And got a lot of manufactured orders of monsters from the Classic of Mountains and Seas or similar themes. Here we show an are welcome to animatronic loong / Chinese dragon model production process to prove our customized ability.

Original Design

The color drawing is provided by our customer, and the hand-drawn version is drawn by ourselves. The grandeur and shape of the five-claws golden loong / dragon were fully displayed, and the customer asked us to color according to the drawing, and the modeling used our own hand-painted version. Under normal circumstances, customers provide their own design drawings to us, if it is really unable to design themselves, we also can provide some simple PS design or hand-painted for customer reference.

Mechancial Frame

After consulting the design, we will enter the production period of loong mechanical frame! Our mechanical engineers and electricians weld and build the 3.5 meters long mechanical mechanism and install the motors in the dynamic positions.

After the mechanical mechanism is completed, the electrician will test its motions for at least 2 hours to avoid any malfunction.

Wrap sponge on the frame and sculpt loong / Chinese dragon

After the mechanical dynamic test was completed, a high-density sponge was wrapped and the shape of golden dragon was hand-carved. To carve the golden dragon well, our artists use knives to carve the dragon’s grandeur and beard out, and they also had to carve the scales of the dragon one by one.

Silicone Skin Created

When the shape of loong is molded, our fabricators will apply the silicone gel bit by bit on the sponge until each part is evenly coated with silicone. When the silicone is dried, a layer of soft, elastic skin is formed.

After that, our electrical workers will test the dynamics of the dragon model again to make sure that there are no mechanical faults in the formed dragon.

After dyeing, the work complete

A professional dyeing worker will use a mixture of oil paint and gasoline to spray the skin color of golden dragon piece by piece on the silicone body. The loong / dragon with green beard and golden scales appears as a god swimming in the sky.

After complete skin color works, the electrician will finally test the dynamics for 3-4 hours to ensure that there is no mechanical malfunction before leaving the factory.
