Gyro produces prototypes for the design and manufacturing industries.
In recent years we have worked closely with Fisher and Paykel research & development division. We have developed a technique for producing mouldings of resin items with the properties of the final product. |

Facility
Due to the increasing demand for props on feature films we have recently set up a new much larger facility dedicated to models and props to meet the expanding market.
We have designated work areas for metal fabrication, timber construction, plastics moulding, resin casting, spray painting, design & graphics. In addition we have client & talent facilities for meetings and costume fittings.
Gyro is centrally located in Kingsland, Auckland.
With a total workspace area is 4,400', we can accommodate a team of up twelve people. |

| Special effects modelmaking sounds exciting, doesn’t it?
Well, it can be very exciting, rewarding and different.
Movie modelmaking and special effects is really dirty and dangerous work, requiring long hours, short deadlines, and a fair share of stress in creating one-of-a-kind working props, landscapes or miniatures.
Would I do anything else? Well I guess it’s in my blood, along with the resins and solvents. It’s hard, creative, challenging and I have rarely made anything twice in the past eighteen years. I can’t say that I always look forward to going to work, but I’d rather be doing this that anything else I’ve ever done. Besides, it must be a good job, plenty of people want to trade places with me.
