Scale: 10:1 (approx.)
Client: Animal and Plant Health Agency
Continuing the work from previous years with the Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA, part of DEFRA), this model of a Colorado potato beetle eating a potato leaf was produced for their exhibit at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2025. The exhibit won the prestigious Chelsea Gold Award and was also awarded 'Best Greenstem Exhibit', as well as being visited by HRH The King and broadcaster Alan Titchmarsh.
The model was made by combining digitally sculpted 3D printed parts with traditional clay sculpture and model making techniques.
