Starting with high quality digital files to hand painting, I accurately depicts characters and objects for fans and collectors everywhere.
I started my journey into making and collecting lifesize replica of sci-fi props and costume in 2011. It started with a Tie Fighter pilot, then a stormtrooper, then Vader and what was supposed to be “just one costume” has ended with over 60 completed costumes, for my own collection so far.
Along the way fans and collectors noticed my work and started to commission their costumes – hard parts assembly, soft part making, painting …
“How awesome is it to support fans who share the same passion to get that unique piece they can proudly display and in turn share with their friends and family ?
Hugely Awesome indeed !“
Life Size Bust
This is possibly the most epic way to showcase your fandom. I create these 1:1 busts complete with actual tailor made accurate fabric clothing and metal parts.
Droid Heads
Only true fans understand the need for a good looking droid head standing in their collection. These are the droids you are looking for !
Limited Editions
For the even more die hard collector I have created some edition pieces; numbered and signed including the “childhood memory” edition
I use highly accurate replica 3D models produced by some of the best digital artists in the community. These files are printed as whole, large pieces in the best industrial SLA resin printers available thus ensuring every detail is crisp and smooth.
After careful inspection, the prints are sanded and prepped for painting. From primer, to base coat, to weathering and finishing details, a wide array of techniques and the very best brands of paints are used to give each pieces the best possible render.
Actual replica clothing fitted for the busts are used to provide the ultimate screen presence. I insist on using real fabric and metal parts to warrant a complete and faithful look worthy of the best collections.
The workshop is constantly busy with new stuff being made; new busts, new helmets, new projects of all kinds.
The Blog section outlines the many stuff ongoing with pictures of the making process.
