This is literally the most gorgeous trophy I’ve ever worked on - and I worked on the remake/lightweight copy of the OG / Tiffany’s Cup.
We made the new LoL Summoner's Cup for Worlds 2025 (and beyond!)

I've known Jordan since I got started in propmaming back in 2009. The fires took a lot from so many in LA, and if you have anything to spare, he could really use your help. Thank you!

Ok so it turns out I’m actually “really good” at cleaning out my phone and I have very few old build photos on it.
I can barely post content to my socials as-is, so I’m officially giving up on “30 ish days of photos” at… whatever number it was last week.
So here’s what’s currently in my booth:

So I found out today that there’s a couple of Loki props decorating the Avengers store in Downtown Disney, Anaheim.
They MIGHT be mine.
I mean that literally - I DO NOT KNOW
So if you’re down there, grab me some photos so I can try and tell?
(I was sent this photo over on insta)

This was a fun costume!
Too bad either nobody got it or nobody cared.
(All the arrows had different bottles of booze for tips, except a handful that had shot glasses instead; DragonCon!)

Yesterday’s post reminded me of the photoshoot we did w the NigelBot; it wasn’t entirely planned but he ended up being quite posable, so I had to set him up like one of your French girls.

Always loved these detail photos of what I dubbed the NigelBot: a life size, 6’ terminator style skeleton I got to design almost entirely from scratch, mostly out of found parts. Never used by the client.
I was a big fan of the bright blue cable “veins” I added last minute.

Random prop photo e’ry day, Day 14:
When I was a naive madman who thought sculpting 2 sets of double sided, perfectly mirrored, wings for Hawkman’s helmet BY HAND was a good idea.
Did the base in Sintra, details in Apoxie Sculpt, feather cores stripped from actual feathers.
This took MONTHS.

Assembling Ant-Man
I’ve been making these helmets since ~2012, and this part is always a bit fiddly because there’s often inconsistency in the chrome plating of the mandibles where they hit the helmet itself.
This stand has been clutch: it’s a bowling ball holder!

Okay, about this echo chamber thing.
Who cares?
When I come here, I don't see a ton of obnoxious trolls spouting transphobia, homophobia, ableism, racism, misogyny and the rest of that shit thinking.
If that's an echo chamber, sign me up and save me a deck chair.

First attempt at a fully flexible Winter Soldier Arm. Mold wasn’t made for this, it doesn’t fit me, and it was truly more a materials test than anything. But I learned a lot!

“Materializing” version of Star-Lord’s helmet.
Slush cast in blue tinted SC325, then I cut / carved all the “pixels” freehand w my dremel.
Lit the sides w some LEDS programmed by a friend and voila! Pretty neat effect that also wasn’t half as sweaty as normal!

I built the master for what I think is the Collegiate Hearthstone tournament?
While freelancing at another shop back in 2016! (So when I say I’ve worked on a lot of esports trophies…)
100% scratch built from MDF and Sintra except the 2 logos we laser cut acrylic

Stormbreaker, for a very specific replica job*
These things were nearly 5’ long assembled, and weird ass shapes, so I had limited options to prop them up while the glue in the handles set… my workbench gets used as a stand like this a lot.
