The imagination and craftsmanship of the propmaker is unparalleled. Not only must he be an artist, but he must also be an engineer, an historian, a designer, an electronics expert, a graphic artist, an inventor, a sculptor, a machinist, a metallurgist, a chemist, a plastics specialist, as well as a technology and firearms expert. Unfortunately, it is truly sad to watch as the Hollywood or fan propmaker plies his trade in virtual obscurity. This site's goal is to reveal, showcase, and honor the wonderful art of the propmaker. It is about time that the propmaker was noticed and appreciated. The propmaker stimulates our imagination, excites our enthusiasm, and provides the tangible evidence of our creative potential as human beings.
