Your work is spectacular

Thank You so much for sharing here

Ian, your Yoda looks superb. Thanks for sharing here.

Did you also make his body till a complete Yoda?

I don't know how I missed this thread. Fantastic work.

Thanks everyone, i need to finish the hands and feet so i can finish the lifesize yoda, i've done loads of other props over the years, mostly horror film replicas

Hi Ian, I would love to see pics of the Yoda once you have finished it.
Same for the horror and other props.

Just post them here if you like, mate.

Cheers

Grinchy I saw a lot of your stuff on another forum. Would love to see more.

Wow great stuff
I look forward to seeing the completed Yoda, as well as some more props and replicas

Cheers, glad you like them, i'll add more pics of the yoda once i make the pieces for it.
Heres a few different props and busts i have made over the years, from dr who to evil dead

Thanks Steve, i've allways been fascinated with monsters and creatures since i was a liitle kid, the original cantina scene fascinated me with all the different characters,

Grinchy your work is absolutely stunning mate

Hell Ian your horror props rock massively, very professional.

Have you ever considered doing a Walrusman prop?

Thanks again guys, and Marko no i haven't done any of the cantina creatures, maybe in the future i could have a crack at it, i really need to have a go at more star wars characters

How did I miss this thread????

Ian those busts are bloody amazing!!!!! The Yoda is perfect!

Thanks, glad everyone likes the busts and props

Freddy, Predator......just amazing stuff.


Ian, do you have an artistic or technical background to be able to make these so professionally?

Hey Marco
I'm self taught when it comes to making busts and props, i did go to college to cover makeup fx, but apart from that i picked it up over the years reading lots of books and magazine articles covering sculpture and movie making
I have worked on a few films, nothing earth shattering, and some tv and theatre work to, i had my own little company offering prop work but a few years ago i had to close due to illness, nowadays i keep at it as a hobby, i take on the odd commision to make masks just to keep myself busy.

Your work is out standing. I have seen a few pieces around in the past on other forums, but it is always great to see some more.

cheers glad you like them
