The first proper droid I ever built - and probably the first thing I've made for film/TV that has its own entry in a database! The TT-8L-OT Gatekeeper droid. I worked with @matt.hart87 to build the 3d model around his animatronics, and to have access points in case anything went wrong. There was some model making and some 3d printing - getting the eyes to look right and function properly took some working out (but we got there in the end!) I did a little bit of the base coating, but I believe @paulszebesta did most of the painting and weathering on this one, and @samijohnson123 built his little hat/wall plug. @ashflash_26 built everything past the wall (the rail system for him to slide in and out seamlessly, and look up and down) The amazing @claireroiharvey , @mikequinnstudios , and I think it was Colin (can't find his Instagram!) were responsible for most of his puppeteering - I even got to play around with him a bit one cold Saturday for some of the less important shots! It was always a dream I thought would never come true to build droids for Star Wars - and I'm going to be saying this a lot over the coming months, but I'm always so grateful (and sometimes in utter disbelief) that I got the opportunity. . . . . . #acolyte #theacolyte #starwarsacolyte #droid #tt8l #gatekeeperdroid #starwars #starwarsdroid #droidbuilder #modelmaker #modelmaking

The Kylo Ren lightsaber is officially done! Can't wait to give this to its lucky owner. Maybe this will motivate me to finish off my own one 😅 Huge thanks to @rutvillamagna for the painting tips- was fun to try out some new techniques as well! . . . . #kyloren #kylo #kylolightsaber #kylorenlightsaber #starwars #starwarsreplica #lightsaber #propmaker #propmaking

Had an absolute blast dressing up as Baze today at Celebration! It was a culmination of a month of crunching to get it done, with help on the jumpsuit (and moral support) from @roberta_butter . There's loads of improvements I want to make for the next time I wear it, but at least now I can take my time with it! . . . . #bazemalbus #starwarscosplay #starwarscelebration #starwarscelebration2023 #starwarscostume #starwars #bazecosplay #rogueone #rogueonecosplay #iamonewiththeforce #propmaker #propmaking #cosplayuk #baze #atat #costume #costumeprops #cosplaymaker

My fifth Star Wars project, and boy was it a big one! Got to meet Ryan Gosling, and build tons of cool droids with cool people. Cheers @paulszebesta and the rest of the droid crew! Here's to more adventures in a galaxy far, far away

First print test to check size/positioning of the new Psycho mask from the Borderlands 4 trailer- looking pretty good so far! Time to start tweaking and begin the texturing process . . . . #borderlands #borderlands4 #psycho #psychomask #borderlands4psycho #newpsychomask #borderlandspsycho

Another of the droids I had a pretty big involvement in for The Acolyte- the Pilot Droids! I have to say, I wasn't a big fan of the design for these two to begin with, but it grew on me and I think they looked great on set. Very happy to actually see the folding mechanic was used in the show too! I did the 3d modelling for the physical components of this, working with @karlgallivan , who designed and built the animatronics and folding/unfolding mechanism. I also got to design a few of the components for them, including their hands, the expanding heads, and the spinning dial on the side of their heads. They never unfolded to interact with the console which is a shame, but they worked both ways! @samijohnson123 did a bunch of the modelmaking for their shells with me, and Droids HOD @paulszebesta helped out to get them through the crunch too. @matt.hart87 also got involved to make all the electronics work, and I think got to play them on set, and @leetowersey also helped out with some modelmaking, and their LED panel eyes. . . . . #theacolyte #starwars #starwarsacolyte #droids #starwarsdroids #pilotdroids #chairdroids

Very, very excited and proud to share this one! My first credit with Creature FX, as part of the team on the Acolyte under Neal Scanlan and Modelmaking Supervisor @paulszebesta . It was a real joy working with such a talented team! We made some very fun droids (and other bits and pieces!) over 2022/23. It was a challenging transition from set dec/ prop modelmaking at times, and the volume of work was huge, but man, this was an absolute life goal ticked off. I'm going to be sharing some of the bits and pieces I was involved with over the coming weeks! . . . . . . #starwars #theacolyte #acolyte #pip #disney #disneyplus #thehighrepublic

I made a time-lapse of my process modelling the P-2 Peacemaker from Helldivers 2. Enjoy seeing me blast this out in 30 seconds! As always, you can find my 3d models through the linktree in my bio, or purchase 3d prints or finished props there too. I'm hoping to do a few more Helldivers guns in the coming weeks! . . . . #helldivers2 #helldivers #p2peacemaker #peacemaker #videogamereplica #helldiversreplica #helldivers2memes #3dmodelling #3dprint

I 3d modelled Mjolnir a looong time ago- in fact it was probably one of the first props I 3d modelled completely for printing, and for sure the first project I used zBrush on! So I decided it was time to give it an update and a proper render. Also working on updating the files for better printing/cleanup. . . . #thor #mjolnir #render #propmaking #propmaker #3dmodel #3dmodelling #3dprint #3dprinting #rhino #keyshot #zbrush #marvel #hammerofthor
