Holly Jackson - Model/Prop Maker

As part of my final university project i designed and made these steampunk wings. The context behind creating these wings was for an action film, therefore i had a lot of logistics to think about.

These wings open and close using a gear mechanism on the back. This not only made the wings appear more realistic but also added a quirky steampunk vibe.

I also had to think about the actor who was going to be wearing the costume prop. For this reason i used the lightest materials possible and used a heavy duty comfortable harness to strap them on.
