1 - Rock Shopping . . . Bill Klopping chooses models that were transported from the local quarry to Beyond Design’s production floor, some weighing in excess of 3 tons.

2 - Rock models were mounted and spray equipment was prepared to spray Mold Max® 30 silicone rubber.

3 - The static mixing tube mixes Mold Max® 30 Parts A and B thoroughly. The output rate of the machine enabled coating several rock models in a matter of minutes.

4 - Support shells are applied to the rubber molds and the mold structure is secured to a rotational casting machine.

5 - Smooth-Cast® ROTO urethane plastic is tinted with SO-Strong® black, poured into the mold and rotated for 15 minutes.

6 - Demold - Tinted Smooth-Cast® ROTO castings come out of the rubber mold ready for painting.

7 - At Scenic Technologies, post finishing went quickly. The individual castings look like they weigh a ton, but can be easily handled by anyone.

8 - The ROTO plastic also has great impact resistance and can really take a beating if dropped in transit, stepped on, etc.

9 - Chrysler invested hundreds of thousand of dollars to make this single media event a reality. A Chrysler spokesman praised Beyond Design and Scenic Technologies, saying that 'without the rugged terrain back drop, the launch of the Jeep would not have had nearly the impact that it did. These guys were amazing'
