REPRODUCTION Banksy Angel Statue, by kwatis on Nov 9, 2020 14:53:11 GMT 1, My thinking is that Medicom/Sync (and others) who have released this and the other unofficially liscensed Brandalism statues may have hired sculptures to make small replicas/prototypes of the originals from detailed photos. This makes more sense as opposed to somehow 3d scanning the originals. Some of the designs look sooooo good (Flower Thrower, David and Flower Pot Angel) while others are way off (Monkey, Rat with Paintbrush, etc).
Plus if they did 3d scan the original (again, don't know how), then where is Winged Nike with CCTV camera for head, Banksy X Rodin's Drinker or his Lady Justice (my favorite scupltures by Banksy) or the others from the Bristol Museum show and Barely Legal?

REPRODUCTION Banksy Angel Statue, by Monkey on Nov 9, 2020 14:55:35 GMT 1, Medicom and Brandalism (knowned for plenty of Banksy art reproduction as sculpture) released this in 2017 artisonlinestore.com/products/banksy-after-bucket-on-head-original-version-medicom-toy-2017 Their "toys" are pretty popular and often copied by chinese manufacturing companies for mass production The quality looks decent and I surprisingly like that piece
You may find Radar Rat, Kissing Coppers and other reproductions similar to this one around

For instance, if I wanted to make my own Drinker, all I would need to do is purchase this small Rodin Thinker (https://www.amazon.com/NBHUZEHUA-Thinker-Statue-Thinking-Sculptures/dp/B087N1F1RW/ref=asc_df_B087N1F1RW/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=472953277806&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=16959089038305353930&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=1016367&hvtargid=pla-990026195970&psc=1) and this small scale traffic cone (https://www.trafficconesforless.com/mini-cones.html)
Obviously if I wanted it to be as close to the original as possible I'd need to insure that the sizes of each corresponded accurately. But you get the idea.

REPRODUCTION Banksy Angel Statue, by Terry Fuckwitt on Nov 9, 2020 15:26:46 GMT 1, I've got one of these and they're really nice and well worth importing yourself. I think I paid about ยฃ160 for mine last year. Really heavy and actually looks like stone up close. I would never buy or support brandalism stuff, so more than happy to buy a knock off of a knock off.

REPRODUCTION Banksy Angel Statue, by kwatis on Nov 9, 2020 15:44:17 GMT 1, Loads of Brandalism knock-offs on TaoBao. As Terry Fuckwitt pointed out they are pretty cheap and fairly nice. For those outside of China, you will need to use a buying service to purchase; I'd recommend TaobaoFocus (https://tbfocus.com). Used them before to buy cheap gifts for my nieces and nephews or to purchase knock-offs to custom paint.

With enough photo of an object through different angles you can create a 3d projection of it pretty easily (there are even open source tools to do this pretty easily). But that requires a lot of post cleanup to have an actual printable object. This having been said, it looks like the guy / Brandalism also convert prints into sculptures (Radar Rat...) so he must have some sculpture / 3d modeling knowledge at some point anyway
Regarding Lady Justice and others, they probably gonna come at some point. Those are pretty popular (for the worst or for the best), i'm sure he gonna make them all!

REPRODUCTION Banksy Angel Statue, by thos on Nov 9, 2020 21:54:35 GMT 1, As far as making a copy of the Brandalism statue... wouldn't silicone (or urethane) molds be the simplest way to go?
Edit: Just realized the discussion revolved more around how the Brandalism statue came to be in the first place...
