Profile
Peter was art school educated up to degree level in furniture and related product design, followed by an apprentiship in prototyping and stills model making which included sculpting and casting; all aspects of machining, lathe and milling machines, wood working, welding and metal fabrication, paint techniques, spraying and airbrushing.
Following art school, I found employment with one of London’s top stills model makers for a couple of years before going into the film and television business as a freelance model maker/engineer; eventually ending up as a senior technician.
Worked on Starwars, Bond 20, Entrapment, Brothers Grimm, Shara, Harry Potter and Hot Fuzz to name but a few.
In television Robot Wars, Jonathan Creek, Silent Witness, Primeval and New Tricks. So in summing up I have been making things for 20 years.
