Research Mannikins, known in studios simply as RMI, has been sculpting and casting forms in Lebanon, Oregon for more than forty years. The line covers North American game and African exotics, plus reproduction fish, antler and horn parts, habitat pieces and the tools that go with them. Its reputation rests on anatomy: sculptors work from reference and casts, so the forms tend to need less altering around the eyes, nose and brisket. The office answers on 541 451 1538.
Aimed at professionals who care more about how a form carries a cape than about a dollar of price difference, and at anyone doing competition work. It is a manufacturer first, so the general supply side is thinner than at the big catalogue houses, custom orders take time, and West Coast freight on large crates is not cheap for buyers in the east.
