I'm an Australian prop maker specialising in 3D-printed cosplay props, replicas, display pieces, and custom builds with integrated electronics.
My work ranges from simple printed and painted props through to more advanced pieces with LEDs, screens, sound, servos, microcontrollers, and Raspberry Pi systems. I've built projects using Arduino-controlled LEDs and servos, ESP32 boards running custom animations on LCD screens while controlling lighting effects, and Raspberry Pi-powered displays such as my X-Wing Targeting Computer, which runs a custom animated video inside the prop.
Some of my builds include sci-fi blasters, helmets, lightsaber stands, Fallout-style props, Star Wars-inspired displays, wall panels, and custom diorama pieces. Depending on the project, I can help with anything from a clean raw print, to a fully sanded, painted, weathered, and assembled prop with lighting or interactive features.
I can offer simple upgrades like adding LEDs, switches, battery power, and display lighting, all the way through to more complex builds involving screens, programmed animations, sound effects, servos, and basic animatronics.
Everything is made by hand in my own workshop, so I'm flexible with custom requests and happy to work with cosplayers, collectors, and makers who need help turning a digital file or idea into a finished physical piece. If you need a local maker who can turn a digital file, reference image, or rough idea into a finished prop or display piece, I'd be happy to help bring it to life.
