Plastic Beach model

The Plastic Beach model is a physical representation of the island. It was designed by Jamie Hewlett and Zombie Flesh Eaters, and then built by Asylum FX.

The three meters high model and all its accessories (consisting of boats, planes, submarines, and pirate galleon) were shot from different angles in a 50.000 litre circular water tank to promote the album. It's in particular the object of the different album covers.

We can see its conception in the making of DVD included in the Experience Edition of the Plastic Beach LP.

It's unknown where this model is stored at the moment, nor even if it still exists.
