Animatronic Animals
A muntjac is read from its small deer build and its single short antler behind a bare pedicel — the black muntjac specifically carries a near-black body with a pale yellow head and neck, which is what makes it distinct from a fallow or a roe. This model carries that colour split on the same frame and movement system as the rest of the range, so it reads as a small forest deer from across a path and the coat still holds detail up close.

The dark-body / pale-head colour split is the whole identification, and it shows. The two tones are hand-blended at the neck, and the animal is built to the size and the site it is going into.
A compact deer body in near-black brown, a pale yellow head and neck, large upright ears and a small antler behind each bare pedicel — the features that make a black muntjac read as a black muntjac at a glance. They are sculpted and finished as one piece, so the expression holds from any angle.
The build is small and low, a browsing deer rather than a leaping one. A muntjac modelled too large or with palmate antlers reads as the wrong deer, so the proportions follow the species, not the display habit.
This is an outdoor animal. The frame is hot-dip galvanised steel, the skin is anti-UV composite silicone over an elastic fibre mesh, and the servo drive is rated to IP65. The two-tone coat is laid in gradient layers under a UV topcoat so the pale head reads as hair rather than as flat plastic.
The unit arrives in bolted sections and assembles on site without welding. The antlers are the fragile part, which is exactly why they ship as protected modules and bolt on last.
Deer parks, zoo small-mammal houses, woodland trails and safari exhibits. The small scale suits a close, detailed setting rather than a distant landmark. It is supplied with the animal information board as a separate element.
What sizes can be built? Anything from 1 m to 30 m long and up to 15 m tall. The size is set by the site, the sight lines and the transport route, not by a fixed catalogue.
How is it triggered? Four ways: infrared or radar sensing, a pre-programmed sequence set before dispatch, handheld remote, or voice interaction. Most sites run the sensor as the default and keep the remote for staff.
What does it need on site? A 110 V or 220 V supply and a solid fixing point. The unit arrives in modules and bolts together — no on-site welding.
Can it run outdoors? Yes. The standard specification is an outdoor one, with anti-UV silicone skin, a water-resistant servo drive rated to IP65, and a hot-dip galvanised frame that tolerates salt spray.
How is it fixed? Four options: concrete foundation with pre-embedded anchor bolts, a weighted base that can be moved as one piece, expansion bolts on a hard indoor floor, or a sealed and buoyancy-rated base for water features.
How long does production take? Custom builds run on a lead time confirmed against the drawing. Send the requirement and the site plan, and the proposal comes back with the timing and the drawings marked up.
Materials. National-standard steel frame, first-tier servo motors, high-density foam core, composite silicone skin over elastic fibre mesh, hand-sprayed colour finish.

The model ships in modules on a reinforced timber crate, with the frame sections, skin panels, antler modules and hardware packed and labelled for assembly. Nothing on site is welded; the sections bolt together and the base is fixed to a concrete foundation, a weighted base or expansion bolts depending on the surface.
Assembly is a one-day job for a crew, and our technician joins the first run so the movement settings are dialled against the actual ground and light. The antlers are checked in place last.
The information board, the lighting and the surrounding landscape are quoted separately and can be drawn at the same time, so the animal and its interpretation arrive as one project rather than two.
