BOB BURNS, private collector (regarding a custom sculpture - mask/bust)
Hi Tom,
I received the wonderful mask... Thank you so very much. I'll tell you that going down stairs at night with low lighting is truly frightening. His eyes seem to glow a bit and follow you. Yikes!!!
Your mask sure did pep up my day. It is a real great addition to my museum and I'm so proud to have a piece of your work. I can't wait until to see what you may come up with next. You have a great talent my friend.
I also want to tell you that Rick Baker and John Landis saw your mask and thought it was great.
Thanks again and you folks take care,
Bob
STEVEN WIDERMAN, Puppet Coordinator for Kid Fitness (custom sculpture - puppet tree face)
Hey Tom,
We shot the tree scenes today and it was simply great! We used the closed eye-lids, and they were very effective. The director said the tree was really nice and he hoped they would use it in other episodes. Everyone was very impressed, myself included.
Anyway, thanks for all your help and doing a great job. I look forward to working with you again soon.

BRANDON ALINGER, private collector and www.Propstore.com (hero Ugnaught movie prop restoration and display)
Hey Tom,
Brilliant! Really pleased with the way this turned out. Getting it to look
more "right" was exactly what I had in mind, but I couldn't picture exactly
how to do it...what you've come up with is perfect.
I think if I wanted to go and sell this (And I honestly don't know if I do
now), you've added serious value to it. Good work!
Appreciate your speediness too...

TOM L, private collector - Custom sculpture - life sized theme prop home theater characters by Richard
3 massive crates showed up yesterday and everything made it intact and undamaged. Rich did an incredible job packing the characters for their long trip.
It took a few hours to unpack them, but they are all now in my theater and look INCREDIBLE! Even my wife loves them, which speaks volumes.
In closing, I would like to thank you and Rich for being completely professional throughout this very enjoyable experience. Sending large checks to someone I’ve never met or dealt with before was a bit scary, especially since you’re on the opposite side of the country. You made me feel comfortable and confident from the start, and your communication, collaboration, and flexibility was uncommonly good. I would be very happy to serve as a reference for you.
Thanks Tom & Rich!

JEFF K, private collector (large scale theme prop by Richard, custom sculptures by Tom)
Hi Tom
B-I-G!....is the word that comes to mind. A magnificent sculpt done by Richie. Great details. He did a great job and I really appreciate the time and effort that he put into this sculpt. The details in the face are incredible... it's those "little" details and that's what keeps ya lookin' at it.
Thanks Tom. Thanks Richie for a magnificent sculpt. This past year you've helped me add some spectacular pieces to my collection and I'm happy with each one. Truly amazing work! Truly amazing artists!
Take Care.

TIM LAWES, www.propstore.com (ewok built up from original movie prop parts for Stuart Freeborn)
Tom,
I took one of your Ewok build ups down to "The Freebs" last night. He was VERY impressed with your work. He said he thought it was one of his! I thought you would like to know that you now have the official Freeborn seal of approval!
The Ewok has stayed with Stuart and now stands next to the Yoda statue that he kept. We thought it would be handy for him to have when he is interviewed or photographed in the future.

CHRISTINE G, Private collector – Custom likeness sculpture for a wax museum style figure

Cheers from Florida

JASON IN THE UK, private collector – custom sculpture - theme character bust by Richard Riley
Stunning! looked great as a photo but you really have to see this work in person to appreciate how good it actually is! Also thanks for the stand as well that was a real bonus too, will look great on display. Thanks for your time and patience, no doubt will contact you again in the coming months.
Kind regards
Jason
BRENDA BROWN, Personal Business Advisor, Grammars Ink - custom sculpture - Hyena for www.thewerecomic.com
I have just seen the finished pictures of the hyena bust, and I was blown away with the accuracy and detail that you put into the project! I have sent the pictures to the guys and I am sure that you will be getting a call from Stacy letting you know he really loved how you brought his character to life. I really do appreciate the time, effort and quality that you put into the piece. We will be using you for future projects.
Thanks again and I will talk to you soon!

CHRIS GEORGOULIAS, Private collector - Movie Prop Displays - Adjustable Helmet/Mask Stand and Deluxe Display Stand
Hi Tom! The displays arrived today and they are perfect! The quality is top-notch and they help bring out the absolute best in my pieces. The flocking on the head looks fabulous and the acrylic base really gives it a nice, solid platform. The adjustable stand honestly looks as if it was custom made for my helmet. I scoured ebay and store display sites and didn't find what I was looking for until I stumbled across your display page. Lo and behold I ended up finding *exactly* what I was looking for and it came from a fellow collector and artist that I actually know and respect. Thanks again!

JOHN IN FLORIDA, Private collector - Custom display and themed sculpted base for his Predator costume
The Eagle has landed. The Fat Lady has sung. I did receive the packages yesterday, and I did have a chance to put the Predator together. I LOVE IT!!! It is sitting in my family room in all its full glory!!! Thank you so much. It was worth every penny to see my wife's look of wonder, awe, and total disgust!!! Truly PRICELESS.
Regards and Thanks,
John
ADAM, Private Collector - Terminator 2 Movie Prop Display
The display has arrived safe and sound and I finally got a chance to unpack it last night.
Firstly your packing job was fantastic, everything was in pristine condition and totally protected so thank you for that. Once I actually
got it all unwrapped and assembled it looked amazing, and even more striking in person than in the great photos you sent me.
I can only say that you have done an astounding job all round Tom. Thank you for taking my vague ideas on with such enthusiasm, developing and improving on them and taking them right through to such a perfect execution.
I'm already looking forward to the next one!
All the best
Adam
WESLEY CANNON, www.wickedprops.com, owner: www.themoviepropforum.com - "Man Cave Horror Home Theater" custom theme room / home cinema / movie prop display room
I've had this dream of a cave room for years. Tom Spina Designs managed to take my idea far beyond what I'd envisioned. It was an honor to have Tom and Rich help make this dream come true. It was a wonderful experience to work with the artists during the design phase and to watch things come together as they were built. They are top-notch guys and if anyone needs any displays, restoration or theming, Tom Spina Designs is the place to go!
