Hi

I am a student and I'm doing a project about the Fourth Plinth and I found you website when searching for the dimensions of the plinth. I am going to make a scale model of the plinth and then put my idea on top of it. I would be greatly appreciative if you could give me the dimensions.

Thank you

Anna,

Thank you for your interest. You have contacted a chemical company that makes the materials for mold making and casting. We can offer great technical support how to use those chemicals to make molds and castings as to help your learning curve. Unfortunately I don't have any clue about dimensioning a plinth, it is out of the scope of my knowledge. Once you figure that out, I can point you in the direction of material usage to produce replicas.

Anna,

This was done by a customer of ours using our products, the model was already created by the artist prior to us getting involved.

It might be a good idea to give the distributor I referenced above a call as they might be able to source you with a local artist that could help you out with the scaling of this piece and even help you with the initial creation.

The only dimensions I have is what is on the web article:

Dimensions Of Final Assembled Casting:

16’ L x 8’W x 16’H (4.8m x 2.43m x 4.8m)

Weight: 24,680 lbs. 11,195 kgs.
