A few new things on the go at the moment. New sculpts of General Thade and Limbo from the 2001 Tim Burton version of Planet of the Apes and a I'm also working on a new sculpt of the Emperor from Star Wars.

I have completed the Davros mask and also completed a sculpt and mask of the Dalek pig slave.

I've decided to have a go at doing a mask of the new Davros character which featured in the final 2 episodes of the 2008 series of Doctor Who.

Here's the progress to date.

The sculpt is in Chavant NSP and will be moulded in fibreglass and cast in latex.

A new project on the go! Nothing too difficult - a reasonably easy sculpt of the CGI 'Adipose' creature from the first episode of the new series of Doctor Who.

 

 

Props and Costumes

I first began making props and costumes for amateur movies as a teenager. I began to do this at a more serious level around 2001 when I constructed my first full size operational Dalek prop. To be honest, my first attempt wasn't very accurate to the screen used 'Doctor Who' BBC props but building it was a valuable learning experience. I followed that first Dalek build with the much more accurate and superior quality build shown here.

The dalek was created using plans obtained from the Internet and was built using some of the techniques and skills I acquired whilst studying sculpture as part of my fine art degree at Sunderland university. The materials used in the construction are glassfibre, wood, aluminium and plastics.

What do you do with a full size working Dalek once you've built it? I didn't ask myself this question until I had finished the build. One area where the Dalek has been used to good effect in the field of charity work, appearing at various events to help raise money for good causes. It was as a result of owning the Dalek that I became involved with the Hyde Fundraisers.

Inspired by the work done by the Fundraisers I was keen to get more involved and soon found myself working on more costumes which would be utilised by the group.

May 2008 saw the debut of my new Ood mask.

THE 2008 Dalek

The new dalek was started the first week in July 2008 and completed by the middle of October 2008.
