Torso casts can be used therapeutically to record a body before a life-changing operation, or to celebrate a new body after the same operation. Great as a motivation for a diet and health plan - lifecasts make the most wonderful reward for all that hard work getting into shape. They can equally help us learn to love ourselves just as we are, accepting and embracing our womanly, wobbley bits. We have also cast ladies undergoing mastectomy operations before and after their operations to facilitate the creation of custom-made prosthetic breasts. Body casting can be therapeutic in so many ways, as well as great fun, memorable and romantic.

Male torsos can look just as gorgeous as the female body, and we're more than happy to design tattoos (perhaps more daring and outrageous than you'd choose for your real body) or other designs for subtle or bolder embellishments to suit the male frame. You might want to record yourself in the peak of fitness before competing for an event, or create a really personal gift for your bride-to-be.

Of course, lifecasts look exquisite left absolutely natural in pure white, showing every detail right down to your goose pimples. For those who prefer a little less detail, the casts can be smoothed to a marbellesque or semi-smoothed finish for a small extra charge, capturing just your shape and the more important details such as nipples and navel. Now we can even offer you a bronzing service - reproducing your plaster body or breast cast in real bronze sculpture or cold cast bronze, aluminium, copper, brass or iron if you prefer. No other gift could be as romantic or sensual. Cold cast metal casts have the advantage of being lightweight, waterproof and can also be hand-engraved with any number of designs.

Also shown here are some of the nanocrystalline copper life sculptures created by CJ Munn and André Masters for Thomas Hoblyn's Foreign & Colonial showgarden at the 2010 RHS Chelsea Flower show, that were featured extensively on the BBC coverage as well as national and international printed press of the event.
