Over 41 years experience creating custom props, models, patterns, prototypes, for film, architectural, ceramic and industrial use.
You may not have heard of me, but you've most likely seen my work. For over 41 years I've been solving problems and creatively and efficiently producing unequaled, high-quality, innovative props, patterns, "hero" products and prototypes for major studios, prop specialty shops, ad agencies, photographers, manufactures, museums. etc.

My well equipped studio is filled with modern machinery (complete metalworking including mills/lathes and a full complement of woodworking equipment) allowing me to fabricate unequaled "hero" quality products, props, and prototypes, (just a few of which are pictured here). And, with less overhead I offer an exceptional, high quality product at a very competitive price.

I acquired many of my skills from my father, a gifted European sculptor and pattern maker who passed along his problem solving abilities and "Old World" knowledge of working with hand tools. My extensive experience, artistic background and wealth of resources enable me to creatively assist you in determining the most applicable and cost effective methods and materials for your projects. Plaster, wood, ceramic, metal, rubber, fiberglass, acrylics and urethanes are some of the materials that I currently use and am well versed in

I hope you will consider my company for your projects. If you have a current or future job to discuss, please call or e-mail me.

Sincerely,
Michael Plesh-
