Hello all, I'm a small-time wasteland prop builder from the far southern reaches of Aus.
'Wasted Props' is a one-man workshop specialising in replicas of video game, fantasy, and real-world props.
I started making props when I was around the age of 10, Using old junk and scraps of wood and metal, I created a couple of crappy sparring lightsabres from star wars with blades made from old golf stick shafts. Battling for the greater good against my brothers. I then stepped up to an equally crappy Boba Fett suit and a few other home-made costumes and weapons.
A few years on, and I was building more realistic rifles and shotguns from the common scrap. Then I took a 6-7 year break.
Until just recently, the tools have been laying dormant until I came across the Fallout World. Falling in love with the post apocalyptic 1950s post nuclear war, it re-ignited the DIY demon inside me and has brought me to where I am now.
Since that first step into (the very basic world) of props, I've tried to expand my knowledge and skills, to hopefully down the track build sellable items. I hope that my work will help to inspire others to take the plunge and tackle some projects of their own.

(P.S. Here's a few of my current projects im undertaking... fully working pipboys, t45d power helmets, various weapons and objects and the iconic New Vegas sign, complete with flickering neon lights... enjoy, and PLEASE feel free to comment)
pipboys I'm building.:
here's the latest shot of my personal favorite, the NV sign... I had it all wired up to a small PC PSU last night, but after i screwed it to the frame of the sign, I wasn't aware the screw had touched an internal component. so instead of powering it all on... it blew it to hell. :-(, I've since replaced it with a more suitable PSU ;-)
