And, if I'm honest, some old deadlines from last year too. Here's a few of the projects that I've got on various burners that will be featured in the coming months:
AER9 Laser Rifle (Fallout 3)
Thats right, I'm doing this again. The last one was a very rushed build and I would have loved to have more time to get the details to my liking. On this project, I can! I learned a lot from the first AER9 and all of that trial-by-fire will be applied to this project. Things are moving fast, so I may have a finished product very soon. Among the improvements are a moving trigger, screenprinted labels, and an illuminated barrel!
Force-a-Nature (Team Fortress 2)
This project is also moving quickly, though I wish I'd taken more pictures of the process. The proportions of this gun are ridiculous - the barrels hold a 4 gauge round and are only 7.25" long! This will be a heavy and robust piece when completed. I have a neat collaboration going on with a fellow who is maching some aluminum parts for it too, can't wait to show those off!
Chell's Heelsprings (Portal)
These poor things have been sitting in 90% limbo for a while now, awaiting a few minor bits to make them perfect. We have a Portal photoshoot coming up in the near future, so hopefully they will be back on the table soon.
Link's Hylian Shield (Zelda: Twilight Princess)
My first shield was also my first real "prop". When I first took a crack at this, the entire shape was eyeballed and I didn't know my materials very well. On top of that, I didn't take any progress photos! This shield will rectify a lot of the issues of the old one, mostly the major inaccuracies and cumbersome weight of my first project.
All this, and more, in 2010. Thanks for reading!

What is the shield made of?
Can't wait for the posts!

Keep up the great work!

Many of the Tf2 weapons would look awesome:
Blutsauger

Scottish Resistance
Your work astounds me :D I'm glad I've got this blog RSS'd.
How did you get started in this line of prop work?
keep up the good work
Nice, but I just can't wait to see more on your Daft Punk Helmet Replica.
Nice Work!
Really great work and very inspire.
So I build my own Laser-Rifle from Fallout 3

Talking about an update! Nice projects you got going on. I am looking forward to all the posts in this new year :D
Great stuff, I look forward to a new project each month. You should make some Splicer Masks from Bioshock. 2K Games has been giving some handmade latex masks out for the Viral Campaign, but I bet you could make some badass ones.
This stuff is always uber inspiring. Keep it up.
You should post materials lists for your builds though. There are always odd bits where I don't recognise the material. It would be really useful. Cheers x
Your work is absolutely amazing!!! =D
I was so impressed I had to feature you on my blog.Posted some of your pics, but everything is properly linked. Hope it is ok with you. =)
Cheers,
Rebeca.
More on the Daft Punk Helmets!!!!
Me and a bunch of friends bought another friend a Rockteer helmet for his birthday. Certainly trumped any other birthday he had and will have. But in being part of that I realized I really didn't have anything that I NEEDED like how my friend needed that helmet. So Ive been looking for that thing so cool and in sink with me that I must have it in my possession.
Your AER9 Laser Rifle is breathtaking, especially the new one. Just out of curiosity, how much would such a commission cost? Or is that a question for behind closed doors?
What happened to the Daft Punk Guy-Manuel helmet?
i thought that was one of your best projects. Hope to see more of it soon ;)
I was also hoping for Daft Punk helmet, part 3, the electronics.
Daft Punk updates are coming, don't worry. I'm taking the time to make that project perfect.
Nice
