About Helen Flynn
I am a freelance model maker living and working in and around London. I have a broad range of skills including sculpting, moulding, finishing and painting, fabrication and leather work.
I have several years experience working for employers including Neil Scanlan, Altered States FX, Harry Potter Creatures Dept, Solutions Studios and Artisan Armour. I have most
recently been specializing in silicone prosthetics.
I also take on projects independently and design and make art toys (plush + resin) which I sell online.
