Crusty Demons Skull Truss

Design Quintessence provided a large imposing skull made entirely from Global Truss components for a recent Crusty Demons stunt motorcycle tour. Coastal Lighting Productions went to DQ earlier in the year and asked us if they could design a truss skull for a possible new project.

"We had never designed anything like this before and the Global Truss factory had certainly never built anything like this before but we were all excited by the opportunity," Ian Wood told the story. "Our first design provided more amusement than a solution: apparently the Crusty Demons people said it looked more like "Krusty the Clown"!

The brief was to use as many standard components as possible so we based the sphere on standard F34 radials, cubes and straight lengths that CLP had in their inventory and added some custom junctions and F32 radials plus complete custom face components to create a structure more than 8m tall.

The manufacturing process went very smoothly and the skull was finished well before the stipulated deadline". The result was so impressive that U.S. representatives from the company flew to Australia just to see the truss skull!
