Things I Do

November 2009

A mole mask made for a friend who is running a Wind in the Willows live role play. I've made it simple so that I can give him the mould and he can swish cast as many copies as he needs.

Airship Cufflinks

November 2009

Solid brass acid etched airships, soldered to cufflink mounts. A birthday present for a friend who is doing a Phd relating to airships.

Lord Hell Bastard Mask With Detachable Angry Frown

November 2009

Ash who does all the sound engineering for the Clockwork Quartet does lots of interesting projects under the House of Strange name. He approached me with a skill swap proposal. I make him a helmet for his super shonky Space Mutants sci-fi series and he'll pay me in recording studio time. Awesome! Now I just need to work out what to do with some studio time?

Cufflinks for the Lover

October 2009

A pair of cufflinks made for my stage costume with the Clockwork Quartet. They consist of an acid etched brass plate brazed to the cufflink bit.

Larp Weapons and Armour

August 2009

A big run of larp weapons and armour. The weapons are a mix of scratch builds and mends. The armour was the result of a big making session with the people who wanted the armour, teaching them how this stuff is done. Special thanks to Mr Jam for leatherworking.

Crossbow/Sniper Rifle

August 2009

Decided to see if I could make a longitudinal bungee crossbow to fire full size arrows. Turns out I can. Next step is to make a more aesthetic version.

Mask for Ben

May 2009

A Venetian style mask, felt lined with a gloss finish. My friend Ben (modelling the mask) had a design for a mask he wanted made. I took a cast of his face and turned that into a plaster copy. Onto the plaster I sculpted the mask in clay, then took another plaster cast of that. Into that plaster mould I papier mached the mask. Painting was done in enamels with a gloss laquer after that. Half the face is smooth while the other half is melting. Ben informs me it is very comfy.

Lizard Tail

May 2009

A lizard tail proportioned for a human being. It is constructed from foam with a latex skin on the outside. Coating this was fun. Got myself an air compressor and worked out how to spray latex. The leather fitting on the back is so it can be threaded onto a belt.
