About Starborne Works

Who

My name is Peter Turpin, though a lot of people also know me as simply “Sci”. Proprietor and sole trader of Starborne Works, I’m an independant artist, technician and inventor. It’s my job to build things for you.

When

I’ve been self employed since January 2008, and been finding my feet fast. I’ve got no other form of employment, so getting distracted from orders isn’t really an issue I have to worry about!

What

This website will show you examples of the simple and complex works I can produce. Some of them may be ready for sale, some may be items already commissioned by people and others may be examples I can reproduce on demand for you.

What you see here could be a gadget, a tool, a novelty, a reproduction or custom prop, or animatronic costume element. The site has a number of categories on the main page that should help you find the sort of things you’re interested in.

Watching

If you want to keep up to date with the latest items I produce, sales I’m having, conventions I’ll be attending, business news or even interesting items of research I’ve carried out, then this sites use of WordPress means there’s an RSS feed built in. Simply click the RSS icon in your address bar to add it to your feeds.

Depending on demand, I may produce separate RSS feeds for different subjects.

Location

I’m based in London, England. This is excellent for connecting with people and suppliers, and means I should usually have a short turnaround time.
