Chris Makes Props

Screen-accurate movie props brought to life with electronics, animatronics and honest problem-solving - made by a regular film obsessive learning in public.

If you’re into sci-fi, 3D printing, film replicas, and watching someone hilariously learn (and sometimes fail) their way into prop making… then you’re in the right place!

My name’s Chris, a former marketing guy, lifelong film nerd, and now a total newbie in the world of prop making. I’ve never built a prop in my life, but after turning 50 and selling my agency, I thought, “Why not give this a go?” Inspired by legends like Adam Savage and fuelled by a slight midlife crisis (😉), I’m diving headfirst into a world of Star Wars helmets, Blade Runner electronics, Alien busts, and more.

In this channel, you’ll get:

👉 My full process (failures included!)
👉 Step-by-step builds with no glossing over the hard bits
👉 And plenty of geeky rambling about the films we all love

Hope you’ll stick around for the journey!
