This is literally the most gorgeous trophy I’ve ever worked on - and I worked on the remake/lightweight copy of the OG / Tiffany’s Cup.

We made the new LoL Summoner's Cup for Worlds 2025 (and beyond!)

I've known Jordan since I got started in propmaming back in 2009. The fires took a lot from so many in LA, and if you have anything to spare, he could really use your help. Thank you! gofund.me/b58e9dc4

Teamfight Tactics wrestling belt, but make it Arcane! One of the more unique mixed media pieces we've created - leather, rhodium, rhinestones, and rubber!

They used THE THEME …and now I’m bawling my eyes out before breakfast.

Ok so it turns out I’m actually “really good” at cleaning out my phone and I have very few old build photos on it. I can barely post content to my socials as-is, so I’m officially giving up on “30 ish days of photos” at… whatever number it was last week. So here’s what’s currently in my booth:

So I found out today that there’s a couple of Loki props decorating the Avengers store in Downtown Disney, Anaheim. They MIGHT be mine. I mean that literally - I DO NOT KNOW So if you’re down there, grab me some photos so I can try and tell? (I was sent this photo over on insta)

This was a fun costume! Too bad either nobody got it or nobody cared. (All the arrows had different bottles of booze for tips, except a handful that had shot glasses instead; DragonCon!)

Random prop photo 16 Yesterday’s post reminded me of the photoshoot we did w the NigelBot; it wasn’t entirely planned but he ended up being quite posable, so I had to set him up like one of your French girls.

Random prop photo 15 Always loved these detail photos of what I dubbed the NigelBot: a life size, 6’ terminator style skeleton I got to design almost entirely from scratch, mostly out of found parts. Never used by the client. I was a big fan of the bright blue cable “veins” I added last minute.

Random prop photo e’ry day, Day 14: When I was a naive madman who thought sculpting 2 sets of double sided, perfectly mirrored, wings for Hawkman’s helmet BY HAND was a good idea. Did the base in Sintra, details in Apoxie Sculpt, feather cores stripped from actual feathers. This took MONTHS.

Random prop photo, day 13 Assembling Ant-Man I’ve been making these helmets since ~2012, and this part is always a bit fiddly because there’s often inconsistency in the chrome plating of the mandibles where they hit the helmet itself. This stand has been clutch: it’s a bowling ball holder!

Okay, about this echo chamber thing. Who cares? When I come here, I don't see a ton of obnoxious trolls spouting transphobia, homophobia, ableism, racism, misogyny and the rest of that shit thinking. If that's an echo chamber, sign me up and save me a deck chair.

Random prop photo Day 12: First attempt at a fully flexible Winter Soldier Arm. Mold wasn’t made for this, it doesn’t fit me, and it was truly more a materials test than anything. But I learned a lot!

Random prop photo Day 11 Happy Thanksgiving! Grateful I never have to do this again (please god, never again 😅)

Random prop photo ever day, Day 10 “Materializing” version of Star-Lord’s helmet. Slush cast in blue tinted SC325, then I cut / carved all the “pixels” freehand w my dremel. Lit the sides w some LEDS programmed by a friend and voila! Pretty neat effect that also wasn’t half as sweaty as normal!

Random Prop photo every day, 9/? I built the master for what I think is the Collegiate Hearthstone tournament? While freelancing at another shop back in 2016! (So when I say I’ve worked on a lot of esports trophies…) 100% scratch built from MDF and Sintra except the 2 logos we laser cut acrylic

Missed a few days BUT continuing w 30(ish) days of prop photos from my phone, Day 8 (ish): The Museum from the “Arcane” finale event! All the props and costumes here were made by @volpinprops.bsky.social but installed my team! This is the THIRD time they’ve trusted me w these babies.

Posting a random prop photo every day, Day 7/? Stormbreaker, for a very specific replica job* These things were nearly 5’ long assembled, and weird ass shapes, so I had limited options to prop them up while the glue in the handles set… my workbench gets used as a stand like this a lot.

Posting a random prop photo every day, Day 6/? That time I had not 1, but 2 Summoners Cups on my tiny garage shop (yes, I worked on the first “stunt-copy” of the original Riot trophy - prepping it for chrome of course).

Posting a random prop photo every day, Day 5/? Classic Silver Age Ant-Man helmet, with real tri-chrome plating. The one that started the whole chrome deal.

Posting a random prop photo, day 4/? “It’s an Everlast!” Foam chasity belt from Robin Hood Men In Tights.

Post a picture of yourself to show newbies what they’re dealing with:

Shoot, almost missed Day 3! Loki’s scepter, circa the original “Avengers” film. Basically as screen accurate as a non-original-cast can get.

Posting a random prop photo, day 2/?

Going to just blatantly copy @volpinprops.bsky.social and post a prop I made from my camera roll every day for… As long as I remember. Day 1/?

Never knew what to do w Twitter. Even less idea what to do here. Probably lots of lurking and occasional photos of prop builds?
