PARTIAL PROJECTS LIST
Spanning More Than 45 Years:
The following list is current to 2007. Recently we have been adding newer projects to this list. 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 and Starliner spacecraft as well as appropriate Spacesuits and props.
WonderWorks™ inc. has the most extensive, and authentic-looking as possible, replicas of space related rentals available. In addition, 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 the production to use as rentals. To see our projects in action most of them are on YouTube. We will be adding links soon. The list is redundant as we have deliberately listed the name of the project and Production Company.
