A prop Rickenbacker 4001 created in MDF and poplar. The buttons are 3D-printed and fret markers made in resin.
Created for an unfinished FLCL Canti cosplay. Unfortunately it is unplayable, but at least the strings are real (if busted)!

Computer Case
Designed, 3D-modelled and built by hand, for when I was putting together my new computer. The design is inspired by Art Deco with the goal to have a vaulted top to the case.
The 3D models are created in 3DS Max together with Substance Painter for the textures. Once a design was chosen, the model was used as a stepping point for creating a blueprint in Adobe Illustrator that could be used to cut the parts out in 5 mm MDF, using a laser cutter. The vaulted top was covered in EVA-foam, which was then covered up in a single sheet of wood-pattern vinyl. The case was then placed on top of a metal frame which contains the computer components.
The EL wire is powered by the RGB light output in the computer using a connector I soldered on myself. The button panel was too small for the frame’s circuit card, so I had to cut it in half and solder together the connections using wires.
Chicken Clock
Two Sailor Moon-inspired clock made by commission. As there was only one available image from the front of the clock, I had to turn the 2D view into a 3D object. Used polyurethane resin for the surface as well as EVA foam for details.
The clock is a retrofitted IKEA clock mechanism. Currently in their new homes in the US.
Book of Rites
Prop for the Hedwyn Pyre cosplay. Every page from the actual game is included in the book, approximately 100+ of them, created through ripped textures compiled in Adobe Illustrator. The book is bound in fake leather and features details in EVA-foam and resin.
