Spanning More Than 45 Years:

‍   Although we have built all types of vehicles from trains, planes and automobiles for the past 45 plus years, WonderWorks has also been involved with most of the films featuring real space and science fiction.  These include Mercury, Gemini, Apollo, Space Station (ISS), Space Shuttle, SpaceShip One, various NASA projects, and now to CEV, SpaceX Dragon, Orion, Altair, New Glenn and Starliner Spacecraft as well as appropriate Spacesuits and props. 

‍   WonderWorks™ inc. has the most extensive replicas of space related rentals available and as authentic-looking as permitted and possible.  Therefore, we can economically custom build what is desired using parts cast from hundreds of our molds.  Movies, and other projects, listed below feature sets, props, miniatures, spacesuits and costumes created, and/or modified, for production to use as rentals.  Many of our projects can be seen in action on YouTube.  We will be adding links soon.  The list is redundant as we have deliberately listed the Project name and Production Company.
