Wizards Vs Aliens - Staff of Crowe!

A prop from a Russel T Davies classic this week, but probably not the one you were expecting...

This piece is based on the "Staff of Crowe", welded by Annette Badland's "Ursulau Crowe" in Wizards vs Aliens. One of our more ambitious pieces, but alot of fun to get back to traditional wood carving!

The twisted shaft of the cane is carved from solid beech and stained, with a mix of powered machinery and traditional carving tools being used to give it an antique, weathered appearance. The staff is adorned with steel fittings, which have been coloured gold using a hot brass brushing technique.

The amber topper of the cane was sculpted by hand and cast in solid resin, with an extra detail embedded within..

The amber crystal is also lit up via a small torch in the handle, which looks pretty spectacular in the dark!

Custom Sonic Screwdriver - Steampunk Style!

Back with another screwdriver…

Reboots are all the rage in movies these days, so we thought we’d give it a try with an old classic!

This piece is fully machined from Brass, copper, wood and acrylic.

It features a sliding mechanism and rotating knurled copper dials. The emitter extends to reveal a copper cage, containing a yellow acrylic core which lights up along with the emitter when the screwdriver is activated.

This screwdriver also has a decorative display stand and presentation box, both matching the gold/wooden aesthetic.

Doctor Who - Clockwork Droid Mask!

After a few weeks of progress photos, finally we have the finished thing!

The Clockwork Droid mask has been hand sculpted, moulded and cast in resin. The resin casing was then trimmed, sanded and painted with a cracked porcelain effect in the same way as the original pieces.

After some additional detailing, extensive weathering and some black mesh behind the eyes, it's done!

I'm offering both fully painted/weathered masks, or raw castings for anyone who wants to paint it themselves!
