Millennium Falcon - Nav ComputerI designed, Programmed and installed the Nav computer array with sequences to match the original, the LED Array itself consists of over 250 LED's individually soldered in the array shown above. the final fitting was an FDM Chassis with Laser cut Acrylic detailing & Facia.
Millennium Falcon - Panel InstalationI Sourced equipment and materiels to securly mount the Cockpit panels flush as well as completing the instalation which had a requirement to be removed for safe transport, Custom Drill Jigs were made to rebate the Beams for a Flush Fit Fixing to be installed.

Millennium Falcon - Nav Chairs & Nav ComputerHere the working NAV Computer can be seen (top), and the second NAV Chair, the NAV Chair headrest was constructed using a new pioneering technique to help form the shape, A Rapid FDM prototype serves as the base for the metal to be formed over and up to to ensure the correct curves and proportions are maintained from the design intent, this ensured the design was kept simple and therfore economic in cost and time asthere was less complex work for the contractor to undertake.
Thor Ragnarok Replica Disks & Belt BuckleOn Commission I was tasked to recreate the Shoulder Disks and Belt buckle from the 2017 Film Thor Ragnarok, the Items were designed in Solidworks, printed as masters in SLA (3D Print) Cleaned up and Molded, they were then cast in an Aluminium & Brass Mix to match the original prop tone. The items were then polished to reveal the metal finish and chalk weathered, Painted & Sealed to match the original props.
Starwars: The Force Awakens - Kylo Ren Outer Robe FabricIn 2015 when faced with the prospect of not being able to fully recreate the Kylo-ren look with fabric that was available I set out and I educated myself on how to Draft and Design my own fabric. In collaboration with one of the few remaining British mills I reproduced an accurate representation of the Kylo Ren fabric for costumers world wide, This spawned into a Collaboration with one of the most eminent companies in Costuming Materiels CosplayFabrics.com who now run this as a Stock Item.
