Project Overview: "Mortar Man" Recurring Sales Award We are looking to develop a high-quality, professional award for our sales team that honors the masonry trade. Our goal is a "turn-key" solution for a low-volume, recurring quarterly production run (4–10 units per year), and we are looking for a creative partner to help refine the design, manufacturing, and fulfillment process to ensure executive-level quality. Project Constraints & Preferences: Budget: We are targeting a budget in the range of approximately $800 per unit. Scale: We envision the award standing between 6 to 9 inches in height. Form Factor: It should be suitable for a professional desk setting. A key priority is that the piece feels substantial with enough "heft" to convey high quality and durability. While we have a strong vision for the award, we are very open to your professional recommendations to optimize the design for feasibility and aesthetic impact. We are currently exploring the following design direction: The Figurine: We envision a kneeling mason holding a trowel. We are interested in exploring fabrication methods (such as SLA 3D printing) and finishes (like electroplated brass) that achieve a highly detailed, premium metallic feel. We are open to your suggestions on the best materials and techniques to achieve this. The Base: We are drawn to the aesthetic of a substantial, solid wood base (such as black walnut) to provide appropriate weight and an organic, executive quality. We would appreciate your input on materials that provide a similar feel. Design Details: We would love to incorporate specific trade elements, such as an integrated mortar tray or a distinct, contrasting trowel, and we welcome your creative input on how to best integrate these features into the structure. Personalization: We plan to include a custom-engraved plaque as a central element of the base and are open to your advice on the best materials and mounting methods to complement the overall design.

Hello, Your Mortar Man award calls for a premium, substantial desk piece that honors the masonry trade with executive-level finish and recurring production consistency. I can help refine the concept into a manufacturable award by developing the figurine, base, plaque integration, and material strategy so it looks refined, feels weighty, and reproduces cleanly for quarterly runs. I’ll create a practical design approach for the kneeling mason, recommend the best fabrication path for fine detail and metallic finishes, and specify a wood base with durable mounting and engraving details. I’ll also prepare production-ready files and clear notes for manufacturing and finishing so the final result is reliable, elegant, and turn-key. Please have a look at our Freelancer portfolio through the links given below. https://www.freelancer.com/u/CreativeDesign50 Looking forward to helping shape this award. Best regards Kirandeep K.

Hi there, We understand you are looking for a creative partner to develop a high-quality, professional 'Mortar Man' sales award design, focusing on a kneeling mason figurine and a substantial wood base. We can assist with refining the design and suggesting optimal materials and fabrication methods to achieve a premium, executive-level quality. TRYGVE Studio specialises in Architectural, Engineering and Interior Design services, with a strong portfolio that includes product development and CAD modeling. We would typically approach this project by exploring various design iterations for the figurine and base, considering factors like form factor, desired 'heft,' and specific trade elements. Our approach involves developing detailed 3D models and renderings to help visualize the final product, along with material recommendations for both the figurine (potentially SLA 3D printing with electroplated brass finish) and the base (solid wood options). We can work towards integrating design details such as an integrated mortar tray or a distinct trowel, and advise on optimal solutions for the custom-engraved plaque. The exact timeline for this design phase and final pricing can be confirmed after a brief discussion to clarify the complete requirements and scope of work. Please feel free to message us to discuss this exciting project further before awarding. You can view our profile at https://www.freelancer.in/u/faisal8071. Regards, Ar. Faisal Saif

The challenge here is not simply creating a figurine—it is designing an award that consistently delivers an executive-quality appearance, premium weight, and repeatable manufacturing for small production runs. I would approach this by first refining the concept into a production-ready design, then selecting the most suitable materials and fabrication methods, and finally preparing detailed documentation so every future batch maintains the same quality. My workflow includes: • Developing the complete 3D CAD model with attention to proportions, stability, and manufacturability. • Evaluating fabrication options such as SLA printing, metal coating, CNC wood base, and engraved plaque integration. • Optimizing the design for recurring low-volume production while preserving the premium aesthetic. • Delivering manufacturing-ready files together with clear technical documentation. My background includes mechanical product development, design optimization, and translating concepts into manufacturable products with strong attention to materials, tolerances, and assembly. Deliverables include SolidWorks source files, STEP, STL (if required), 2D manufacturing drawings, high-quality renderings, and design documentation. Up to two revision rounds are included. The current scope is based on the project description. Additional features or fabrication support can be quoted separately. Physical manufacturing or testing is not included unless explicitly agreed. The final schedule will be confirmed after reviewing all reference materials. The proposed timeline and budget are preliminary. One question: do you already have concept sketches or reference images for the "Mortar Man," or would the figurine design begin entirely from scratch?

Hi, I am available to take this on and design a premium sales award figurine that delivers an executive finish. I will craft a high quality 3D model optimized for SLA 3D printing and electroplated metal coating on a solid wood base. Let me know if you prefer SLA resin over wax casting for the metal plating process. Recently I designed a custom metallic trophy project featuring an intricate bronze figurine. It was created for an executive corporate ceremony to recognize top industry performers with a heavy desk award. I sculpted the detailed character, engineered the solid wood base, and prepared the custom engraved plaque. I would be glad to discuss your goals for this sales award project and see how I can bring this piece to life. Best regards, Ariba
