my prop work from over the years

Amazing skills Grinchy!! There are many highlights for me in this thread but I think the E.T. is the one for me (also those Thriller ones are stunning as are the rest of them).

I noticed you mentioned Stuart Freeborn's name in your other thread and agree with you what a true legend he was (and still is in). I know his granddaughter who said she remembered being driven around all the Star Wars sets in a studio buggy at elstree back in the day, something she'll never forget. Her husband is a real star Wars fanboy as well and felt like he'd hit the jackpot when things worked out with her (not that he's with her for her grandfather :lol: ). He told me that he got to see a lot of the original moulds and some bits and bobs for the Star Wars OT that he kept out in his shed! I've no idea what happened to everything after he past away but I'm sure the family would have put it somewhere safe. It's a real loss his passing but he sure left one hell of a legacy!

Cheers, yes he was a real legend, allways wanted to meet him but it never happened, would hope the moulds are still around for the likes of yoda and chewie, real historic characters

Some more pics
This one was a commision the green goblin, done as a one off, to be honest not my favourite thing i've done the finished piece just seemed to cartoony, but the buyer wanted that look so thats what he got




Heres pennywise from stephen kings IT


uncle Frank from hellraiser


Jason voorhees from friday the 13th



My son wanted a pred costume after watching me make the heads and stuff, he was five, heres he is as mini pred
had lights built in

heres me and the wife as shrek and fiona, i know shes not the right shade of green lol

Some of your stuff is proper bloody scary!!!!!

cheers mate, I have allways loved making monsters

Nice work man! Mad skills on the busts. You've been a busy boy, some great pieces there :wink:

cheers mate, this is many years of work, probably around ten years give or take

Yeah scary stuff, I'm a chicken, so would run a mike from some of these :lol:

What you doing on the yoda mate, bust or full piece? Will be an awesome piece.

I love the Fett from the Sarlaac 8) cool

Love the C3po and the Yoda in Carbonite.

And the Mikey of course

Hope your well mate, never stop making these pieces they are awesome,

All the best bud

Heres my namesake, old grinchy, done for a friends christmas display

heres another pic, the envelope he is holding is a prop from the movie

heres the clay sculpture of the head,

heres another thriller mannequin, again a comission done for a collector, i took the jacket and aged it to look like it did in the video, the separate hands bugged me where you can see the join, but it had to come apart fore shipping

Heres a jaws display i put together, i'm a big jaws fan to, the teeth are cast from a screen used original, bruce the shark had one set of teeth which were all cast separately and these are copies from them, also in the display is a tiny piece of the orca 2 the second boat used in the movie for the end scenes when the boat sinks

Brill, you'll have to post up a thread when you do the yoda and show him in stages, that will be awesome 8)

Yep don't mess up the kitchen!

The Jaws piece is fantastic, so is it's little brother, another treasured piece mate

will do mate, the wife can't wait to boot me out back, lol, i'll take pics when i get started

A few people have asked me about the yoda in carbonite, its only small heres a pic so you can get an idea of scale

I don't mind doing a few for members at cost, i can make them fully painted out of plaster for cheapness at £13.00 each, or out of resin which is sturdier and less prone to breakage at £25.00, those prices are delivered in mainland uk, i'd need a few people interested so i can buy the stuff
shoot me a message

The actor warwick davis asked me to make him a bust of his goblin character in harry potter, he was really pleased with it



heres robert englund with the freddy i made, he was a cool guy to meet



this is my screen used terminator 2 miniature skull along with two copies from the mould i made of it

heres my spock ears cast from the movie mould, weird i know lol

Any pics of your Bo Selecta masks.

No pics of those, thats a blast from the past, not done any of those in years

Heres a few more, first up the freddy snake from nightmare 3 with my son Lucas when he was little, love this pic, i allways told the kids growing there are only plastic monsters no real ones and daddy makes them, so they have never been bothered by them

Lucas loved the new dr who growing up, and especially the monsters, he loved the weeping angels from the episode blink so i made one for him, heres the clay sculpture



And the finished mask



Heres a peter weller robocop sculpture, i need to finish this one



this is a full upper torso puppet of dr tongue from day of the dead, my replica had remote control eyes and brows and head and neck movement

Grinchy mate your talent is endless more great work again
