  • Dye Job

    Dye Job

    In the new Andor series the imperial troops on Aldhani introduce a brand new design of costume, one that is green ( later used as black on Ferrix). While rewatching the episodes to analyze that costume, it appeared evident to me that it was not your typical cotton, it defintely showed stretch ability and for…

  • The Studio

    The Studio

    Back in 2021 I relocated the studio closer to home; in case of covid lockdown it felt easier and safer than having to drive over an hour both ways. So I moved to a much smaller place, with enough space to work, display all of the projects and allow garrison mates and friends to pop…

  • Aldhani Trooper PT1: armor

    Aldhani Trooper PT1: armor

    One of my preferred character in Andor, the aldhani trooper is obviously a must project. Two parts the armor and soft parts. This here is reminiscent of the mud trooper front/back plate, biceps are same as for shore/tanker/etc… the shoulder obviously mud trooper based on the deathtrooper from Rogue1. I Very much like the fact…

  • AxeWove Commission

    AxeWove Commission

    Love working on DeathWatch since it allows me to do so much weathering on clothing. First by dyeing the clothes “imperfectly” on purpose giving them each their unique look. Then working with the “spices” to make them look (and smell) great … and of course the armor paint job…

  • Medic Trooper

    Medic Trooper

    An incredible concept drawing by a fan introduced the Medic Trooper, one that clearly should be on screen … so years of building experience to work with conceptual drawing in order to bring life to it properly, choosing the right era for accessories, the right design pattern etc… It was also exciting to work with…

  • Look At my Ball

    Look At my Ball

    So I printed a training ball, glued and painted it just to realize I forgot some part !!! On the upside I got the base colour right and it still looks quite good so not all is lost.

  • BBQ (incinerator) Trooper

    BBQ (incinerator) Trooper

    This was a fun project. Working with the classic TK armor to build the incinerator trooper. Of course the character became viral after season one of the Mandalorian and I do hope to make one WITH the R1TK armor parts once I put my hands on it… There were a few interesting finds during this…

  • Childhood Memories: SpaceTrooper Pt01

    Childhood Memories: SpaceTrooper Pt01

    Like anyone of my Generation, I grew up with the Star Wars toys. At twenty something I did the dumb thing to sell them off. For the past year or so I have been trying to recollect exactly what I had and start buying these back whenever I can find. The most iconic of all…

  • Clones Repaint

    Clones Repaint

    What do you do when your 9+ years clone armor have yellowed out and sort of not look that great anymore? I got two clone armors and helmets dropped at the studio for a total facelift… Definitely more extensive work than I originally expected.

  • Droid Heads

    Droid Heads

    A whole droid is often difficult to keep at home, but a few heads look great on shelves or next to helmets. So I started these with more to come. SLA450 RESIN printer and of course hand painted at the studio .

  • ICAT Helmet 02

    It did not take long before the first helmet left the studio and a second one was printed and painted… and before it was finished already found a new home, expect a ICAT helmet 03 in the very near future

  • DeathWatch Bust

    DeathWatch Bust

    Another one of my favourite character in the Mando series is the Season 01 Deathwatch. The Live action characters are so well designed and wear such unique colours- This bust is for my private collection, a few details left to fix but it is already one that will stick with me for a long while…

  • China Game Convention -PT2

    China Game Convention -PT2

    By far my favourite costume… the zombie trooper and since I had an extra officer suit at hand, I made the imperial officer version of the zombie. Also figured out that the WorldWar Zombie sound works way better than the Walking Dead one – it does give a bit of a soar throat but really…

  • Weathering clothe

    Weathering clothe

    A great costume needs to have “lived” so that it can sell the character you are portraying. The same way you would apply weathering to an armour, your soft parts needs attention too. Step 01: WASH // wash the parts a couple of times to get the new fabric shine out. Wash with clear water…

  • China Game Convention- PT 01- Wookiee

    China Game Convention- PT 01- Wookiee

    Have not trooped in convention since SWC Chicago, it was fun being back in the crowd (safely with vaccine and mask and all). Always nice to see other troopers and their newest build. Obviously also great to share a “wookiee” with the crowd and the other troopers…instant hugs

  • BR-4D – my Pitt Droid

    BR-4D – my Pitt Droid

    Another addition to the droid crowd is the new pit droid I have decided to name BR-4D and if it is not official in the canon maybe it should be 🙂 Printed in the SLA450 printer and assembled /painted in the studio; Br-4D is great at fixing Gonky

  • Gonky Gonk

    Like many fans, I love the Mandolarian TV Series, and I like many I found the ICAT driver a great example of the consistency in costumes between eras, movies, etc… This is the first ICAT helmet painted with mid-heavy weathering.

    Break Time – LEGO Fun

    When I need a break from making costumes… I build legos; UCS and MOC. I just love the way they look when they are completed. Obviously they take time to build but the detailing and final results make them so worth the effort

  • Wookiee Bust

    Wookiee Bust

    Making a wookiee bust is a taxing work – the latching of hair onto the mesh bust clothing takes a lot of time. I am always trying new technique and this one is promising, might very well simplify the whole process – the key question remains to see if the hair will remain in place…

  • M-A-W Shanghai

    M-A-W Shanghai

    Due to my injuries and covid-19 I have stayed away from trooping since last December. Even with things getting much better in China and being able to pretty much resume life – I am still keeping some distances from public events, BUT when M-A_W makes a request for a wookiee I simply cannot refuse…just trooping…

  • BESKAR: This is the way

    BESKAR: This is the way

    What I love about making these props is the challenge that each build bring; sometimes it is new material you need to work with, sometimes new building techniques and sometimes painting. I learned airbrushing for my Lando bust- for this Mandalorian Beskar armor it is working with graphite powder. Print > Sand > Prime >…

    Lando Skiff Guard Bust

    Working with an industrial SLA 3D printer

    3D printing has jumped leaps over the last couple of years, people have it at home and if you are lucky enough to live where I do, you can easily find “affordable” industrial printers willing to take on projects. SLA printer work with UV cured resin instead of filaments. This means the end result is…

    I have made a few Wookiees over the years soon #9 will start production.The one part of the wookiee that has always been more complicated to do is of course the skull; one part being fibreglass and the silicon skin that goes atop.  In my early years as an arbor builder I was intimidated with…

    Last year I started a new project for collectors with the launch of a helmet stand.

    I have build many tankers (note to self don’t get too cocky about it you screwed up your last one’s legs) – so alongside the tanker I decided to go for the AT-ACT which is really only a helmet and a slightly different paint job on the shoulder bell. So helmet printed and started the…

    Yes droids are amazing and no I was never the biggest 3P0 fan ; actually my preferred droids are K2-S0 (Rogue 1) and Chopper ( Rebels Animated) these two have amazing personalities. However as a builder/collector I cannot deny that 3p0 is a must have and I decided to focus on a bust. Got the…

    The Collector Bust is the new product I am launching soon. It is meant to be a new way to display props and contextualize it in their “real” environment. We are working on clothing and accessories to fit the bust to give a “real feel” when people drop their props on it. I though I…

    My original Death Trooper is still in Japan and with the current state of things around the world, I have cancelled all my travels. ironically although I do not have any events planned in 2020 anymore, I just felt annoyed without my zombie armor here. So I decided to go ahead and make a second…

    Naked Wookiee

    After completing my 6th wookiee I have pretty much settled for the mesh suit design.

I have just added the boot covers and a skull hood to make the work easier. The sizes…

    Wookiee MK6 : roaar

    A new wookiee is almost born. Improved technique means a bit faster, new hair really adds to the general look. I am reasonably happy with this one and it might very well be the one I keep for myself this time around. I guess the best part remains what I call the “wookiee zen zone”…

  • Tanker MK5 commissioned work

    Tanker MK5 commissioned work
