Freelance creature effects and soft props, prosthetic teeth, armour and weapons plus model making and painting, maximum effort and work to suit any budget. Working full time in the action props and special effects industry, but would like to work more in the field of creature fx/prosthetics. I really enjoy getting my teeth into difficult jobs, and have an overactive imagination! have a wide range of practical workshop skills from woodwork to sculpting, molding and casting,metalwork,fiberglassing, leatherwork and modelmaking, and am quick to adapt to required techniques.

Other Skills:
|
I am often referred to as an 'Ideas' person as I can think on my feet and solve problems quickly and easily. I consider myself resourceful and creative and I am capable of sticking to a tight budget. Fabrication, sculpting and moulding are all skills that I possess along with an eye for detail. I am adaptable and flexible. I possess practical experience in setbuilding/painting, prop fabrication, costuming, prosthetics, miniature work, pyrotechnics,atmospherics, animatronics, puppetry and mask making, armoury(past,present and fictional) and sculpting/molding/casting in a variety of materials. Skill and experience of traditional archery (english longbow). Practical workshop experience of sheet metalwork, mig and arc welding and fabrication, as well as basic electronics and also on set professional experience with atmospheric effects.
I have also undertaken work for an nhs training hospital for casualty simulation. I provided a training day and also make-up effects for trainee nurses final exams, so casualty simulation is second nature.
