A lifelong tinkerer, he learned at a very young age that the best way to have the coolest toys is often to make them yourself. A hopeless Halloween addict and fan of all things science fiction and fantasy, Shawn's hobby of building prop and costume pieces for his own collection has long since gotten out of control. He now spends his days immersed in his workshop for countless hours turning whatever he can find into pure, concentrated awesome. Shawn and his props and armor have become a major attraction at the annual Maker Faire Bay Area. Today, his workshop regularly produces props, costumes, and set pieces for films, convention appearances, and collectors.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Maker Shed","offers":[{"title":"Print","offer_id":52364506693906,"sku":"9781680450064","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Digital","offer_id":52364506726674,"sku":"9781680450064.PDF","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0079\/2615\/3283\/files\/9781680450064.jpg?v=1781035094","url":"https:\/\/ralphiesfunhouse.com\/products\/make-props-and-costume-armor","provider":"Ralphie's Funhouse","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
