I really enjoy producing props. Its normally because the production cant afford to use the experts, but I won't complain because I love making things. Here are a few random bits I have produced over the years. A mini Ray Winston for '44 Inch chest', a ancient Hittite peace treaty for BBC's Egypt, a fake but animated sat nav for 'Hustle', and a ancient codex for Nation Geographic's Gospel of Judas.

| Mini Ray started out as a wax sculpture. Given the choice I always start in wax and make a cast rather than Sculpey. |
 |
| This is a cast of mini Ray fully painted up with removable hat. |

| Here is mini Ray in action. |
 |
| One ancient peace treaty. This was made out of Milliput within a wood frame...with lots of filler. |
 |
| An ancient codex. I made this out of distressed leather and sheets of papyrus. |
 |
| A dummy sat nav with animated screen. The show wanted a map of London but was filming in Birmingham. |
