Replica

Nostalgia plays a role when constructing the following film replicas. From The Lord of the Rings to The Neverending Story, each piece was hand crafted to match the exact appearance and finish of the original. With such a large and devoted fan base of these films, my aim is to inspire and bring lost relics to fruition. Guided by experience and continual practice the work here is dedicated to producing realistic and convincing reproductions of movie props and models of the highest quality for any creative endeavor in any genre.

Elixir Faberge Egg

Elixir Faberge Egg

Elixir Bottle

The 1992 American satirical dark comedy film Death Becomes Her featured a rather strange glass vial that balances on its tip without the aid of any special effect.

Through prototyping, I produce an item that performs much like the movie reproduction. Consisting of led lights and pink fluid, the vial stands on its tip on a mirror base. It was also designed with its elaborate faberge egg casing and box compartment. What I have tried to consistently do is fabricate 'working' replicas that perform much like their movie counterparts rather than just being objects for display.

The Neverending Story

The 1984 classic fantasy The Neverending Story features a unique leather bound book that every fan of the film would want to have on their book shelf. So I decided to produce a faithful replica complete with metal detailing, gold guilding and a copy of the novel inside.

Since completing this project, requests from around the world have flooded my inbox requesting for a copy which emphasizes how much nostalgia, as a psychological resource can help individuals cope with life’s stressors, build strong relationships, find and maintain meaning in life, and become more creative and inspired.

Omegahedron

The 1984 film Supergirl has developed a cult following over the years and my fabrication of an actual working Omegahedron prop as it appeared in the film has generated considerable interest. Using metal 3D printing and motors, this functional prop makes for a beautiful conversation piece and a great addition to any film collector.

Dalek

The Dalek Replica was hand-built to order, using the original plans and specifications from the BBC Props Department. It stands at a life-sized 1.6 meters tall, the arms are mounted on ball joints, allowing them to be moved and the iconic dome can be rotated 360°. What’s more, inset casters in the base let you move it around with ease. But I know what you really want to ask – can I ride in it? The answer is – no! Unfortunately.

Enchanted Rose

Few things embody the magic of Disney quite like the enchanted rose from Beauty and the Beast. There are many replica models out there, so when I was commissioned to recreate this iconic prop I thought I might surprise my client by differentiating my design by asking "how many are capable of floating off its wooden base?"

The Enchanted Rose is hand crafted and captures in detail, the iconic imagery from this classic all time favourite fairytale movie, with some of my own creative interpretation. The silk rose is poised, withering, with its shimmering blossom and fallen petal. The oak base is the perfect foundation to conceal the magnetic circuit that enables the rose to levitate from the surface and for the removable hand blown glass dome. When the lights are low and the rose starts to gleam with warm lighted accents, that's where the Enchanted Rose really comes to life.

Enchanted Rose

This enchanted rose is handcrafted out of aluminum, resin and paper clay. Each petal is individually forged by hand to give a realistic look. Originally designed as a holographic projection, I settled on propelling the stems base to give the sense of levitation.

The One Ring

There is only One Lord of the Rings...And its ME!!

No really, I was asked to make a ring that changes its appearance when exposed to heat. No special effects or fancy editing, just good old fashion thermochromic paint.

The only thing I can't do is make the wearer invisible...But I'm working on that

The One Ring

The ring is a replica of the One Ring with precise laser engraving. Commissioned with the challenge to replicate the same effect as it appears in the film, I experimented with a number of materials until I settled on using a coat of thermometric paint, that when exposed to heat reveals the elvish inscription.

Tower of Orthanc

The Tower of Orthanc Replica was hand-built and each individual piece was painstakingly replicated several times to create the detail required. Standing at two meters tall, the structure was constructed from a mixture of wood and plaster with a hollow interior.
