The method that Natethegreat describes is a very effective way of enlarging complicated sculptures, especially if you don't have an accomplished artist there to do the work. One of our competitors often will take a small model and have it scanned then cnc layers of styrofoam which are layered up and carved. It has many advantages not the least of which is to establish many thousands of points exactly where they ought to be. We made a 3' tall maquette for a 50' tall angel this way. We have also made plaster maquettes we ran through the band saw to make profiles for the layered up foam. This is a head of Apollo we made for Invention of Love at Lincoln Center using similar techniques.
