Hades Industries

Hades Industries makes props and replicas the traditional way: masters are shaped from wood with scroll saws and hand tools, then moulded, cast in resin and hand-painted. It caters to cosplayers, collectors and the film industry, and owner Nathaniel Corkery has film credits of his own.

Custom prop commissions run on a slot system; the commission listing currently shows three slots available and is removed once they fill. Clients email their name, location, the prop wanted and photos, and receive formal quote paperwork with the details and requirements.

Props are cast solid and the studio does not make pieces with moving parts, for legal reasons. Pricing is based on materials, and the shop suggests checking similar props in its store for a rough idea. Props are sold for display only and are available worldwide.
