Film and television create amazing worlds, but sometimes you want a piece of those worlds you can hold in your hands. In this issue of Make: we show how to create your own tangible props and models from movies, TV, and your own imagination. Join pro model maker and Tested alum Kayte Sabicer as she re-creates an epic replica of the Off-World Blimp from Blade Runner. Go behind the scenes (and back in time) to see how The Wizard of Oz used miniatures and practical effects to create the stunning tornado scene that still holds up today! Star Wars was instrumental in putting fan builds on the map, and we check in with the bevy of droid builders who re-create everything from classic R2-D2 to Disney's adorable new duckling droids from the Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge theme park. Or maybe you want smaller-scale models to go with your tabletop war games? Learn how to paint, weather, and trashbash everyday junk into new mini terrain, buildings, and vehicles to create your own worlds.

Plus, 19 projects, including:
  • Scale down The Mandalorian's Volume video wall for your own mini movie virtual production
  • Use simple cardboard to make a custom articulated robot costume
  • Build robust, network-controlled light-up wearables for group costumes and performances
  • Create a personal light show with a Teensy-powered, xLights-animated display
  • 3D print and launch your own custom compressed air rockets
  • Use an Oxocard microcontroller and servo to make an electronic cuckoo clock
  • Meet Flipper Zero and friends' learn about the latest hacker multitools
  • And much more!
