Pop-up books and space ships

Hallmark films "Alice in Wonderland" a great fun job, I designed and built a giant working pop-up book, the artwork was applied by myself and a brilliant artist (and really nice bloke) Bob Walker, who sadly died soon after we finished the job. Also I made plastic cakes and food that would not perish under the studio lights, several other props including an antique puppet theatre, this was a fun job getting that old look to a newly built object.

"The Avengers", also a huge project with over 100 model makers involved at one point

"Lost is Space" was a huge project, the models were miniature sets with many working mechanisms linked to motion control computers.

EAGLE MODELS
Assorted commercials, building models, large scale props and assorted rigs including: - “I can't believe it's not butter” an advert that required a full body mould of the principle character and a break-away sculpt of the statue the guy emerged from....

... and several sanitary towel and nappy (daiper) commercials such as “Always ultra plus”, this required animating a panty-liner so its 'wings' folded and another so it rolled into uncomfortable shapes, plus lots of dripping rigs to show the absorbancy of them.
