Can you tell us what the biggest prop you've worked on is and what the smallest prop you've worked on is?

TL;DRA comms tower held the tallest-prop record until a recently made crane likely topped it, a cargo mover being blocked out may beat both, and the smallest props are things like pills, pens and noodles.

Personally or as a team? Because as a team, we have a comms tower that currently holds the record for the tallest prop. Although we have a crane that was made recently that I think has topped it as the tallest prop. Smallest prop, we have things like pills.

We're not making individual grains of rice here, just putting that out there.

But yeah, we do have very small props like a pill. It's not modelled, it's a texture, but we have props that are incredibly small.

Yeah, like pens, chopsticks, noodles.

That's the thing about our team. Again, something that makes it quite challenging is the huge variety in scale and in what we're making. It can be quite crazy jumping from, say, making a shipping container to, okay, now I have to make a set of planters, or I have to make a glove, or I have to make some cloths or bedding or whatever. You're going across lots of different skill sets and working on various different things.

James did actually start blocking out that cargo mover, which is probably going to take the crown of the biggest one soon. It's not ready yet.
