It’s Foxy Friday! Who knew an old builders bag could be so much fun?! Hauled out so much gubbins out the back corner of the garden left by the previous occupants but some of it was fairly useful and especially entertaining for foxes apparently! #foxyfriday #fox #urbanwildlife #foxfrolics #foxfun

Final Nightsleeper prop. More of a detail and paint job this time. Built by the production carpenters and finished by moi. It’s all in the detail (that no one sees) after all! Used as another ramrod. Anyone seen it yet! . #nightsleeper #propmaking #props #actionprops #proppainting #details #bbc #trains #gluegunrivets
October 02, 2024 at 02:24PM via Instagram instagr.am/p/DAn5GwwtXZx/ Nightsleeper ladders. These are real ladders but with the tips replaced with a foam replica so they could be used as a battering ram but not damage the set so much for retakes. I made a mould of one of the ends and then lopped them off. Set the mould into the nub and cast the foam insitu. With a bit of threaded rod cores for a bit of stability. An interesting challenge.

A beautiful wee fox has been hanging out in my back garden lately. Here he is having some zoomies one morning last week. Got a bunch of videos so I’ll try to remember to upload one on a Friday, just for funzies. Enjoy! Happy Friday everyone! #Urbanwildlife #Fox #zoomies #fridayfun September 27, 2024 at 05:51PM via Instagram https://instagr.am/p/DAbYStFtPuT/

Next prop from Nightsleeper…foam fire extinguishers. Well, foam bottoms. Top parts real with firm but foamy bottoms. Used to bash something but aiming for not too much damage to the set. Finished with silver printed vinyl by the fantastic talents of the graphics wizz kids @annatoffolo Looks pretty top notch!
September 23, 2024 at 07:21PM via Instagram instagr.am/p/DARP9YYt3zx/  Fake laptops for Nightsleeper! Was being thrown against a wall in a fit of fury so they needed something a bit lighter that won’t make a massive gauge in the set wall. Resin cast back filled with foam and painted. Never realised how many holes and vents laptops have until I need to block them up so the silicone wouldn’t go everywhere inside. Amazingly it still worked after the moulding process. Not sure if the sockets would be any use though! Real one on the right, the logo would be covered up so didn’t need to replicate the shiny shiny. September 20, 2024 at 11:42AM via Instagram https://instagr.am/p/DAItHngNes7/ It’s soft action prop time again! This time for the BBC’s new runaway train thriller Nightsleeper that was on at the weekend. Can you tell which is the real one?
Rubber/resin mix to make it fairly rigid but not as painful as metal if it fell on your foot. I was quite pleased with how these came out and apparently it was difficult for folk to tell the real metal crowbar from the resin one. Until picked up of course. Job done in my book! 😁 To be honest I can’t remember which was real anyway. It was summer last year for goodness sake!😂 #propmaking #props #tvshow #tvprops #softactionprops#fakecrowbar #nightsleeper #bbc #runawaytrain #thriller#actionprop #crowbar It’s soft action prop time again!

Taking down a shelf in my kitchen resulted in peeling paint. It peeled and peeled. So naturally I continued the peeling and then drew a picture. What do you see?
 Been a busy time the last few months but I’m so happy to be able to show you all this most recent project in quick time. The lovely guys Jack and Ross at @yateshellier estate agents commissioned me to make a bunch of stripey hot air balloons for their brand new shop window in Hyndland Road. Such a lovely concept. I reckon they look pretty dashing and the guys were delighted. A beautiful new addition the road. Best of luck with the new venture! Posted @withregram • @yateshellier We’re absolutely thrilled to finally open the doors of our new home at 149 Hyndland Road. This move has been a while in the making, and to say that we’re delighted with the final outcome is an understatement. Our custom-built window display is our favourite feature, and we hope you’ll feel right at home with our living room-styled interior. We’re looking forward to continuing to support local, and championing Hyndland and the surrounding districts. Please drop in and say hello if you’re passing by; our amazing sales and lettings team have settled into their new home and are ready to help with your next move. We would like to extend our warmest thanks to all involved in this project.

I generally try to watch shows I’ve made stuff for and get a kick out of seeing them on the big or wee screen. Watched the series Dinosaur on the iPlayer and thoroughly enjoyed it. I made these naked, homemade-looking, slightly wonky wedding cakes for set decoration (to be decorated with flowers and fruit by set dec). Made of tasty upholstery foam sponge and caulking cream. Delicious! Sadly, I never saw them in the background but I did enjoy making them.😄🎂😋
