This was my most complicated 3D model yet, with 130 parts for each helmet, animated lights and an active fan for cooling. Created for Bethesda at their Gamescom 2024 booth promoting the Shattered Space expansion of Starfield.

With this project, I challenged myself a lot both with 3D modelling, resin printing and advanced animatronics and animated lights.
Aviator Pharah
This cosplay features a bunch of animatronics – it has both moving shoulder- and hip armor, as well as a huge set of moving wings. In addition, there’s a jump-jet version.
Mercy Cosplay
This cosplay features large animatronic wings made with aluminium and chip on board LEDs.
Doomfist
This was my first animatronic project. I made this in my apartment from steel without any welding equipment, so I had to be innovative with a lot of things, using things like measuring cups from Ikea to achieve what I wanted. I also decided to gold plate it rather than paint it gold, both because it was such an interesting technique and also – let’s face it – a pretty cool flex!
