Another layer of black paint down on the Scout Trooper helmet. Why black first? Because battle damage needs drama.
White coat's coming soon, then it’s full-on Empire chic. Also printing a second helmet 😎

Morai has a head! And the ability to stand on his own! Heading back to the shop now to fill a couple of seams and hopefully lay down a coat of primer while it's still beautiful weather. Wish me luck!

The Fabricator: taking shape
Or, be careful what you wish forOur propbuilder extraordinaire, Dell McFadin, is currently printing and assembling the FABRICATOR, the hero prop from our film ORIGINAL COPY. I visited him recently to observe the progress for myself. Though it shouldn't have been, seeing the total footprint of the thing for the very first time, right there on his kitchen table, was something of a shock. The thing is honkin'.

The projects have been many and I’ve been MIA from posting.
Got an ‘84 wand for my birthday that’s going on the 80% spirit pack. Taking that back to be an ‘89 pack.
The Anovos wand that was broken is getting the Frozen Empire treatment.

This was the largest sculpture / prop I’ve made so far. Welded frame with suspended diamonds for the city’s “diamond year.” I was at SDCC during the event so I didn’t get to see the debut in person but I think they turned out pretty neato. #art #artist #prop #props #propmaker #propbuilder #sculpture

It can be a struggle to plan for practical installation procedures when building for aesthetics. Timeline, budget, & weight all factor in. In this case, the UFO prop had to be liftable & fit through the bay door. #propbuilding #propbuilder #props #UFO #propdesign #proptech #art #sculpture #sculptor

Most of my prop plans start simple. A brand pack with logo, color scheme, and key descriptors are established first. Then props follow. Fall Fest is on the docket today with some big builds on the horizon.
