More About Us

Welcome to Caramac’s Prop Shop, a dedicated workshop creating high-quality, screen-accurate sci-fi props and costumes for collectors, cosplayers, and fans worldwide.

With over 21 years of prop-building experience, our goal has always been the same: to create props that look authentic, feel right in the hand, and stand out whether they’re used for cosplay, display, or collection. Every item we produce is made with a strong focus on detail, accuracy, and reliability.

A Small Team with a Big Focus on Accuracy

Caramac’s Prop Shop is supported by a small team of researchers and makers who are always looking for better reference material, improved details, and new ways to make our products even more accurate.

We believe the difference between a good prop and a great prop is in the fine details, so we continue to refine, improve, and upgrade our designs wherever possible.

Specialist Skills Within Our Team

Our team brings together a strong mix of specialist skills, allowing us to produce props and costume pieces to a high standard, including:

  1. Electronics and functional upgrades (lighting, sound, interactive features, and display options)
  2. 3D design and development, helping improve accuracy and create reliable, repeatable parts
  3. Helmets and armour work, focusing on shaping, fitting, strength and clean finishing
  4. Film prop replicas and detailing, with close attention to accuracy, function and the correct look and feel fans expect

This mix of skills gives us the ability to create pieces that are not only screen-accurate, but also built with solid craftsmanship and attention to the smallest details.

Supporting the Environment

At Caramac’s Prop Shop, we believe it’s important to do our part for the environment wherever we can.

Alongside our prop work, we also support commercial waste collection and recycling, helping reduce landfill waste and encouraging better recycling practices. We’re always looking for ways to improve how we operate, reduce unnecessary waste, and make more environmentally responsible choices as a business.

Recycled Packaging & Shipping

As part of our efforts to reduce waste, we reuse and recycle packaging wherever possible. This means your order may occasionally arrive in a previously used box or with recycled packing materials.

We often receive raw materials and supplies in strong, protective packaging, and reusing these boxes helps us:

  1. reduce unnecessary waste
  2. cut down on landfill materials
  3. reuse perfectly good packaging materials

Please be assured that while the outer packaging may be reused, we always make sure your item is securely packed and well protected for delivery.

Get in Touch

If you have any questions about our products, want to enquire about a custom build, or need help choosing the right item, feel free to get in touch, we’re always happy to help.

Painting & Finishing – What to Expect

At Caramac’s Prop Shop, we aim to create props that are as screen-accurate as possible, not just in shape, but in how they look on camera.

Because of this, our painting and finishing may differ from what people expect from a modern “perfect” paint job.
