Andy Preston Miniature Replicas
Великобритания
Добавлен 6 янв 2008
Hi there and welcome to my channel.
I have been making models since i was a child, as most people do. Over the years it became a hobby and i made less as work became more intense. But, over the last few years, with a little more free time, i have concentrated on airbrushing, weathering and model reinforcement (internal steel armatures). All the cad skills i have accumulated, together with countless hours studying reference images and old school (as well as many new school) painting techniques, have allowed me to produce these very accurate versions of original filming miniatures and props. I now have a base of clients who like to have the most accurate version of their chosen miniature and i do my best to make it exactly as they want it.
These are videos of some of the models i have made, and coming soon some instructional videos which may help you in your quest for a more accurate looking finish. I hope they inspire you to have a go yourself.
Thanks for watching.

Im sure all you Alien fans are eagerly waiting for the new "Alien Romulus" movie to come out.

Its been a large rebuild for some of the model, but im glad to say it came out pretty good. The model itself is an old ICONS shell, cast from the same moulds as the original model used in the movie. It's a tricky paint job on these with all the Alien looking details and very stran...

Hi again everyone, welcome back to another random modelling job in the workshop. This time it's a 5 foot Dropship as seen in ALIENS.This one suffered a lot of damage as it was knocked off its plinth and smashed on the ground, so it's my job to put it back together again.

Welcome back to another concept vehicle ILM style paint job. This time it's the influential Joe Johnston AT-AT concept drawing from 1976, for The Empire Strikes Back.

Thank you for checking these videos out, I hope...

Hi again folks. I've always wanted a nice Blade Runner display, and theres nothing better than a Frank Lloyd Wright ENNIS tile to do the job. So a few years ago i made my own version and produced a silicone mould. Heres what must be one of the last castings from it before it is retired, and i thought you would like seeing how its made and painted. Thanks again for checking out the videos. If yo...

Large scale Enterprise build PART 11. Masking tape over decals, whats the worst that could happen !!
Просмотров 1,5 тыс.Год назад
Welcome to part 11 of this mega build. This week is something i have never tried before, masking and airbrushing over waterslide decals. Definitely a "do not try at home" idea!. I know this is going to be risky, especially with these decals as they have minimal sticking power, but i think the risk is worth it to get the panels to reflect on the decal surfaces and match the rest of the pearl pai...

MAKING AN AWESOME SCI FI BASE PART 1
How did you make the pieces? I'm not familiar with acrylic sheet. Really curious to see your process.
Nice 🐉 When do you think you’ll have a screen accurate version? Does Terry English publish these plans? Cheers 🍻
Can you please add me to your build list? Thanks Mate 🐉
movie pulse sound ... noyce
Superb craftsmanship, outstanding 🤩😎
Sadly after building the cockpit, front section (with pilots animated heads/arms), ramp and fully sprung landing gear I lost my 1/35th scratch build in one of my moves back in the 90's. I also lost the first "power loader" entered into a show in Oldham way back in the early 90's. Slowly rebuilding all my original traditional scratch builds as 3D models/resin prints this is on the list.....after the album cover from Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds.
Beautiful repair!!!
BRAVO ! GOOD SIR 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💯
=This looks fantastic! Great work! Can I be added to the list please?
When I saw this film as a kid I always wondered how the wing missile pods worked without sum fudging. I saw a 3D model of it and finally it all clicked but seeing the work you’ve done really helped solidify that these were functionally possible. Beautiful work. Adam Savage would be impressed I’d imagine.
That is frikin awesome dude! Really well done. Cant wait to see version 2. ?
Amazing absolutely amazing! Loving the weathering too! How much will these go for? I picked up the Hollywood Collectibles one, but this seems like it’s going to be much better! 😍
I'm assuming youve been commissioned to do this refurb, by the prop store of London (who at one point were based in Little Chalfont Buckinghamshire.)
It's amazing! I've made a model of the Conestoga-class troop transport... a bit more than one meter long (1.20 meters) Unfortunately I still have to finish it. And my problem is that I don't know how to paint it. I have to learn.
Also, if I want, eventually, to make a Cheyenne dropship of my model, I should make it of almost 4 centimeters long. That's a challenge. 🤔
Great deep Dive into a classic reconstruction job, thanks for explaining some of the tools too, very little of that on build channels.
lovely!!!!! i want one on my WAAAALL !!! , great work man!
I love the idea of always making your stand heavier than the model itself.
Nice work Andy 👍
Just fantastic. Even if it didn't come apart and function. Interested in the limited run list. Thank you.
Just seeing if you can do a painted and weathered detailed just like the one in the video and can pay you whatever you like and need for it to be finished. Not that talent to do the paint or however you got them to look that amazing. Thanks Andy. Already on the list. So excited for this.
Looks like a Vector pistol
Very Nice!
Mr. Preston’s skill & craftsmanship are next level. There are YT channels with 6 million subs based on flakey rubbish. IMHO, this channel deserves to blow-up with views & subs. Thanks for the excellent content. Spread the word fellow model / sci-fi fans! 🙂
Awesome! What are the dimensions? 3 inch width?
Beauty! Just came back from the movie. Had Google the new "toy" lol kinda want one modded for paintball! Great work!!
is it crass to dare ask....how much? a boy can dream....
Are the kits DIY? Or are they pre painted and assembled? I saw the movie and loved the sound of this rifle and the functionality of it. So Ive been searching for a more functional prop since the hollywood collectibles group one just sits there lol.
Also an unfoldable stock would be so cool!
Hi there. Yes these will be a DIY kit. Simple, strong and easy to put together. The idea is it should be able to be stripped and rebuilt easily for access to electronics etc. A functional stock will be a stretch though as the design is not good for the structural integrity of a kit. It would require functional swivels, pistons and some expensive machining which would make the final price out of most peoples reach. We will try our best though :-)
@@APmodelsAhh I see. Well you got a new follower. I look forward to the progess on this project!
Do you plan on making these so fans can buy them?
Yes indeed, there will be a limited run of kits for this. Please keep an eye on the channel and an update will come asap. Thanks again.
You have my complete admiration, sir
Hi Andy This is a great project. Is there any chance I can purchase it?❤
Thanks :-). It should be coming soon once the changes are completed and we are happy with it. I will put you on the list. :-)
Where to buy!? Or are your also selling files
Keep checking the channel, once we are happy with the design, there will be an update coming asap. Thanks for the kind words. :-). No STL's for this. its made old school, solid and heavy. :-)
This is amazing. I would commission one but I was already scammed by a builder for the Nostromo to the tune of a lot of fukin money. So I'm very wary now. Nobody's fault but my own though on that one. Should've trusted my instincts.
Sucks when you get burned by a hobby. I feel your pain.
This is fantastic, please add me on the list, I want this one.🙏🙏🙏
Ive added you now. Keep checking the channel , there will be an update coming asap. Thanks for the kind words. :-)
masterfull work!
Hi Can you put me down on the list, please.......I have the Snow Wolf Aliens Pulse rifle which is an airsoft version, but this looks incredible
Ive added you now thanks. Keep checking the channel , there will be an update coming asap. Thanks for the kind words. :-)
Wow, awesome job! any chance I can be added to the list?
Ive added you now thanks. Keep checking the channel , there will be an update coming asap. Thanks.
This is amazing!
I would be interested to know your price for one of these works of art.
Keep you eyes peeled on the channel. More info coming soon. It's quite a project with many things to sort out.
Hi Andy, could you please put me on your order list? I saw Hollywood props was putting one out also that looked authentic but unfortunately didn’t output sounds and most likely for display only.
I forgot to ask. Would you be able to ship it to the US? I know that there were customs laws that says imitation firearms need to have an orange tip and maybe some other rules unless it’s marked for movie use? I’m not entirely familiar. Would suck if they confiscated this.
HI there. I will add you to the list. The Pulse rifle will be a self assembly kit which should avoid any issues with replica prop firearms. All resin pressure cast with metal barrels etc. The design is not finalised yet, so thats about all i can say at the moment. Ive added you to the wish list. Thanks
Hello Andy, beautiful 😍, I love your work! Is it possible to purchase one of these Romulus Pulse Rifles from you when the time comes? Best regards 👋😊
Sure, once im ready to go there will be another video on my channel with all the info. I will add you to the list for when the time comes. Thans for checking it out.
Thanks Andy for putting me on the order list, I'm happy🍻🙂
just watched the movie today, you did a fantastic job it looks amazing and cant wait for version 2! put me down for 1 i will definitely be buying one!
You are on the list now, thanks :-)
This is amazing work!! Did you use a CNC to cut the metal armature out or did you cut it by hand?
Sign me up, please!
You are on the list now, thanks :-)
Hi Andy, If this is anything to go by…..version 2 will be incredible. What’s the best way to contact you to order one ? Here ?
You are on the list now. I will be doing a final video with all the info needed once its ready to rock. Thanks again.
Thanks Andy.
