my prop work from over the years

[grinchy]

Yeah scary stuff, I'm a chicken, so would run a mike from some of these :lol:

What you doing on the yoda mate, bust or full piece? Will be an awesome piece.

I love the Fett from the Sarlaac 8) cool

Love the C3po and the Yoda in Carbonite.

And the Mikey of course

Cheers mate
Well my shed out back is being rebuilt, got to wait for that to be finished, this stuff is far to messy for indoors though i have done pieces in the kitchen before today, including mikey, yoda will be a full lifesize piece, head hands feet and body, all done separately starting with his head

 

[grinchy]

Heres a jaws display i put together, i'm a big jaws fan to, the teeth are cast from a screen used original, bruce the shark had one set of teeth which were all cast separately and these are copies from them, also in the display is a tiny piece of the orca 2 the second boat used in the movie for the end scenes when the boat sinks

 

[Michael Sith]

Brill, you'll have to post up a thread when you do the yoda and show him in stages, that will be awesome 8)

Yep don't mess up the kitchen!

The Jaws piece is fantastic, so is it's little brother, another treasured piece mate

 

[grinchy]

will do mate, the wife can't wait to boot me out back, lol, i'll take pics when i get started

 

[grinchy]

A few people have asked me about the yoda in carbonite, its only small heres a pic so you can get an idea of scale

I don't mind doing a few for members at cost, i can make them fully painted out of plaster for cheapness at £13.00 each, or out of resin which is sturdier and less prone to breakage at £25.00, those prices are delivered in mainland uk, i'd need a few people interested so i can buy the stuff
shoot me a message

 

[grinchy]

The actor warwick davis asked me to make him a bust of his goblin character in harry potter, he was really pleased with it

heres robert englund with the freddy i made, he was a cool guy to meet

this is my screen used terminator 2 miniature skull along with two copies from the mould i made of it

heres my spock ears cast from the movie mould, weird i know lol

 

[cracatilla]

Any pics of your Bo Selecta masks.

 

[grinchy]

No pics of those, thats a blast from the past, not done any of those in years

 

[grinchy]

Heres a few more, first up the freddy snake from nightmare 3 with my son Lucas when he was little, love this pic, i allways told the kids growing there are only plastic monsters no real ones and daddy makes them, so they have never been bothered by them

Lucas loved the new dr who growing up, and especially the monsters, he loved the weeping angels from the episode blink so i made one for him, heres the clay sculpture

And the finished mask

Heres a peter weller robocop sculpture, i need to finish this one

this is a full upper torso puppet of dr tongue from day of the dead, my replica had remote control eyes and brows and head and neck movement

Grinchy mate your talent is endless more great work again

do you still own all these props you have made ?

 

[grinchy]

Cheers mate, no these where all done when i had my own business making and selling props, nowadays its just a hobby

 

[grinchy]

Heres a few more pics, first up a few pics where you can see the clay sculpture, as its friday the 13th today i chose Jason voorhees, heres the first pic, very rough here just throwing the clay on here

then after a few hours work it gets closer to the look i'm after

the final sculpt has a two part mould made, i then pour in liquid latex and once thats sets i add a foam similar to the stuff you use on window frames but soft and flexible, once that is set i pull the mould apart and paint the rubber head

heres a few random busts i've done for other collectors,
v bust

Alien, i repaired and repainted this, around ten foot tall

 

[grinchy]

Another shot of the alien

At halloween i do a run of different tshirts, heres the chestburster shirt

 

[Dublinjeff]

Man, that is outstanding work... :shock:

 

[Grant]

Fooking hell Grinchy. Your work is brilliant.

 

[grinchy]

cheers mate, thanks guys i know its not all star wars related, but i do plan on doing more pieces as soon as my new shed is finished

 

[DarthStanley]

Just been told about your props from Colin Grinchy,AWESOME stuff mate congrats! 8)

 

[grinchy]

Cheers, glad you like my propwork

 

[pizzathehutt]

amazing stuff mate!

thats a real talent you've got!

love the e.t and the thriller werewolf

 

[grinchy]

Cheers, yeah ET is one of my favourite pieces, and love MJ, so i had to do a couple of tribute busts,

 

[av6]

Outstanding work. Especially E.T. You absolutely NAILED E.T.

Star Wars or not. They're worth showing to the world I say.

 

[grinchy]

Cheers, glad you all like the non star wars stuff to, as i said i do plan on doing more star wars related stuff eventually

 

[grinchy]

Heres a piuece i'm doing for a friend, he sent me an unpainted latex head of a zombie from the movie return of the living dead, heres the original zombie its based on

and my painted version, still got to add the hair to it but the paintjobs done

the sculpture was well done i thought, but the teeth were quite different to the original and the eys were sculpted wonky, i've done the best i can with it, now onto the hair

Now i've looked at it again i think its a tad to green, so i'll add some flesh tones to it tomorrow, tone it down a bit

 

[grinchy]

Added some different fleshy tones to it thats better, still looks like some weird alien though

 

[poncho]

love the 'up' man 8)
you are very talented and a true craftsman of your field

 

[grinchy]

Thanks thats very kind of you,

 

[Jediknight3263827]

you are very talented pal but having stuff like that in my house would freak me out,them eyes look real

 

[grinchy]

Cheers, my wife feels the same lol, i don't have much from my business days it was all sold on, but i kept the old man from UP.
I use acrylic eyes in my heads which are very lifelike, and i backpaint them to make the colours stand out,the ET eyes were the most difficult due to the size, but i got it done in the end

 

[vadersman]

You're a very talented guy, I loved your photos.
You can do me a C3-PO head anytime

 

[grinchy]

Cheers, wish i still had the moulds for 3p0, lots of people have asked for one, i sold them a couple of years ago
Well i finished the zombie, i hand laid the hair which is a bugger of a job but its done now, not exacly salon fresh, i added dried blood and fake dirt to the hair to
