Our unique work preserving and restoring important Hollywood artifacts from such sci-fi classics as 2001:A Space Odyssey, The Alien films, Doctor Who, and many other films!

Our approach emphasizes maintaining the integrity of the original and wherever possible preserving the original “feel” of the piece and evidence of age and use in a production. The goal is not a result that looks “brand new” (the way a replica might look) but to gently bring a piece of history back to life… to make it look “great for its age.”
