Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (2014 - 2015)

Between November 2014 and September 2015 I worked on Rogue One: A Star Wars Story in the Art Department as the concept model maker working on vehicles and then in Costume FX as a costume prop maker working on various imperial troopers, Forest Whitaker's armour and some droids (old and new). Here is a selection of already published photos of some of the projects I worked on during my 10 months on the movie. All images are copyright Lucasfilm and/or Disney.


L1 droid costume
Vacformed in styrene with metal and resin details and a rubber and neoprene undersuit, this was a costume made for a 
featured character that later became a deep background droid.

Fibreglass armour cast from vac formed patterns made over polyurethane foam tooling. Detailed with found parts.

RA-7 (Death Star Droid)
The head was vacformed in styrene over a polyurethane foam sculpt.
