Finished up weathering the completed #colt from #Supernatural Models created in #fusion360 by me and printed on the #sonicmega8k Featuring actioning trigger, hammer and rotating cylinder. Grips were hand carved from American Walnut to match the hand made display box. #Maker

New home studio operational! It's great to finally have a space to be at work without being miles away from home especially with the arrival of our second child. #maker #propmaker #propmaking

Visited the World History Museum today in Liverpool with my family and had the pleasure to see these exquisite Tsuba, the level of detail that has gone into these tiny parts is awe-inspiring. Truly beautiful craftsmanship. #maker #propmakinglife #propmaker #katana #tsuba

Prop maker top tip! Those tired of removing 3D print support material 'pock marks'. Rather than slathering on filler, mix a small amount and make a small piping bag out of the corners of food freezer bags. Add the filler exactly where you need it and cut sanding time massively.

Before and after!) Saying goodbye to the old home workshop, our second baby is due in the next few months so my little boy needed a new room. Can't wait to share the build progress of the new home workshop. Definitely an upgrade #propmaker #propmaking #beforeandafter #workshop

First painting I've done in nearly 20 years! Mrs MadeItUpStudios suggested date night painting together this week, so I wanted to share my WIP. A Kingfisher in watercolour, far from finished but happy with the progress so far. #painting #propmakersdayoff #propmaker

Bought a small wooden castle set for my son (8 pieces total), he decided he needed more parts to realise his artistic vision. Prop maker dad is taking a week off for the holiday but can't refuse a special commission like this. Here are his creations #prop #propmaker #propmaking

Finished up sanding and priming all the parts for the Anisotropic Ghost shell from Destiny 2. I love parts in grey primer, sometimes I just want to assemble projects in grey as I think it would be a cool aesthetic. #propmaker #propmakinglife #destinythegame #destiny2 #bungie

Parts printed for the Anisotropic Ghost Shell from Destiny 2 ready for sanding sanding and more sanding tomorrow. Printed on the Phrosen Sonic Mega 8k, and modelled by me in Blender #prop #propmaking #propmaker #propmakinglife #destinythegame #destiny2

Erm.... I think I may have maxed out my print bed, just a couple of non mission critical support to remove and we can get this on the 8k printer. All 21 parts of the Anisotropic Ghost shell thankfully fit onto just one print bed. #prop #propmaker #propmaking #destiny2

More work today on detailing The Anisotropic Ghost shell from destiny2 I wanted to create something from the latest expansion and decided this would be quite fitting. Modelled in blender by me. #propmaker #propmakinglife #propmaking #prop #blender #destiny2

I've been working on my model of the Anisotropic Ghost shell from #destiny2 #TheEdgeOfFate this was one of the rewards as part of the pre-order and I decided that I wanted a real one for my office. Probably another day of detailing and it will be ready to print. #propmaking

Winter themed diorama post box topper we created for @shoppertainmentmgmt . This was a refreshing break from creating hard and fast replicas. #prop #props #propmaker #propmakimg #propmakinglife #diorama #postboxtopper #propmakersofinstagram #madeitupstudios #madeitup

Got to paint a snail today, another item ticked off the bucket list, deliberating adding a realistic trail behind him and how to achieve it. Any thoughts? #prop #propmaker #propmaking #miniatures #miniaturepainting

What do prop makers do to relax after sanding priming and painting parts all day? I sit there clipping, sanding, priming and painting parts I didn't design... Sometimes with a beer. AHH Bliss! 😁 #propmaker #prop #gundam #gunpla

A while back we had the opportunity to build a spin-a-wheel random picker for @theunionmmu , luckily I had just watched @therealadamsavage build his on @testedcom which took out loads of guess work. Much bigger, in fact it was troublesome to get through a standard door. 😂

Managed to find a pic of a lighting test for the Araxys 2.0 Phantom build we made for @riotgames In December (ignore the play mat, I have a 2yr old and this bad boy needed to come home with me for late night detailing) #valorant #riotgames #propmaker #propmaking #madeitupstudios

Second prop built for @riotgames launch of the new Araxys 2.0 Sheriff from #valorant . Features fully integrated LEDs. Start to finish both the props were completed in 2 weeks. This was the final shot before handing over to its new owners. #propmaker #prop #propmaking #riotgames

The #Araxys 2.0 #Phantom that we built for @riotgames . This was such a cool project to work on but with an extremely tight turn around, this was the only photo I was able to take (literally in their offices as we were dropping it off) #Valorant #maker #propmaker #riotgames

Hi, Currently bouncing from NDA to NDA. Still at work 00:30 for the latest crunch. On a personal note to other makers, I'm still home every day for dinner with family, for bathtime and bedtime for my 2 year old. Don't neglect the people that allow you to keep creating.

When you have to stitch in over 300 individual pieces of boning; each a different length, time to break out the disposable cups. Monotonous work needs every fragment of organisation possible. #prop #propmaking #propmakinglife #sewing #madeitupstudios
