Miniatures Monsters & Magic

If you can dream it... We can create it!

30 years of craft across film, television and entertainment industries

Prosthetics, Blood Rigs, Creatures

From subtle scars to full creature builds, we design and fabricate practical effects that hold up under the camera's closest look. Our prosthetics are sculpted, cast, and applied for comfort and durability on set, whether it's a single-day wound appliance or a multi-piece transformation.
Blood rigs are engineered for reliability and repeatability — pressurized systems, pump work, and hidden delivery lines built to hit the mark on every take, with wardrobe-safe formulas mixed to match skin tones and lighting conditions.
Our creature work spans animatronics, suit builds, and hybrid practical/digital integration — designed collaboratively with directors and VFX teams from early concept through final on-set execution.

Special FX

We always push to find practical solutions for the wildest effects any script or story can call for. All engineered to hit their mark exactly when the director calls action. Every build is planned around safety protocols and coordinated closely with stunts, camera, and production to keep the effect seamless and the set running on schedule.
A better choice with a doorway to a full-scale destruction sequence, from rubber coals to dangling bats in a cave. From soft rocks to glowing blood, from sift boulders to crashing life-size statues and architecture.
If you can dream it, we can create it!

3D Modelling, 3D Engineering, 3D Printing

3D Modelling, 3D Printing

Digital tools sit at the core of our modern build process. We sculpt and model in 3D to develop concepts and incorporate 3D scanning and matrix moulds, then refine detail and get director and client sign-off before a single physical piece is cut or cast — cutting down on guesswork and revisions down the line.
From there, our engineering process translates digital models into production-ready builds: solving mechanisms, fit, and structural integrity for anything from articulated props to wearable armour and prosthetic appliances.
3D printing lets us produce complex geometry, fine detail, and precise hero pieces that would be difficult or impossible to sculpt by hand, then finish and paint to match the rest of the practical work seamlessly. It's also how we produce master patterns for moulding and casting, speeding up turnaround without sacrificing quality.

Props Fabrication

Props, Animals, Fish, Animal Skulls, Tusks, etc.., Pots, Smoking Pipes, Historical Snuff Containers, Historical Snuff Spoons, Thrones

Props fabrication is the discipline of bringing story objects to life — from hero weapons held in close-up to background set dressing that fills a world. The craft draws on foam, resin, silicone, metal, and timber, often in combination, shaped through mould-making, casting, carving, and finishing techniques refined over decades.
We've incorporated ever-growing modern technologies like 3d printing, ZBrush and CNC routing to
Expand our services and abilities to recreate special pieces. In the end, it's always hand finishing and specialist scenicing that bring our museum-quality pieces to life through colour, texture, technique and patina. We pay careful attention to every aspect, from finishing to weight to how the object is handled by the actor.

Use another brick in the scrolling list, remove the boat, honeycomb mesh, and 2 zigzag bricks, and replace them with pots, snuff spoons, fake fish and fake meat on rails.
A great prop holds up to a macro lens and survives a six-week shoot. It takes the eye of a sculptor, the logic of an engineer, and the instinct to know which corner of a build the camera will find. Modern pipelines now build in ZBrush, 3D printing, and CNC routing as starting points, but the hand finish, the paint stratification, and the weight and feel of an object in an actor's grip remain irreducibly human work.

Weapons & Armour

Weapons, Swords & Blades, Spears, Knives & Daggers, Clubs & Blunt Weapons, Axes & Hatchets, Flintlock and other firearms

We build weapons and armour to match the period, the character, and the shot — from flintlock firearms, knives, axes and swords, to any imagined weaponry. Each piece is carefully researched or matched to references, then fabricated with great consideration so that it holds up under the most scrupulous eye for authenticity. Each hero piece is also copied as a soft design to hold up heavy stunt handling as well as on-set safety. (Remove paragraph of every piece can be built - up to repeated takes) Finally, the finish of the softs is matched to the hero pieces to come together seamlessly on screen.

Sets, Construction & Rigs

Sets

We design and build practical sets, structures, and mechanical rigs to spec — engineered to look right on camera and perform reliably take after take. From set dressing and standalone builds through to load-bearing structures, our construction work is planned around the demands of the shoot: safety, strength, and speed of turnaround.
Rig work covers everything that needs to move, break, or trigger on cue — from simple pull rigs and reveals to more complex mechanical builds working alongside stunts and special effects. Every rig is designed collaboratively with the wider crew, tested ahead of time, and built to hit its mark precisely when called.
Whether it's a full set build or a single mechanical element within a larger scene, we bring the same practical engineering approach — solving the problem on paper first, then building it to last through production.

All images and video content depict practical special effects work produced for film, television, and broadcast. Simulated wounds, blood effects, creature builds, pyrotechnics, and atmospheric effects are fabricated using industry techniques. Nothing depicted is real. All production was conducted under professional supervision in compliance with applicable safety standards.
