CJ Prop Studio

My name is Joshua Marchese and I'm a cosplayer/foamsmith. I started making props back in the summer of 2013.

I've done my research about props, materials and the process since 2009. When I first started, I only made helmets because it was easy and I can experiment with different material. Now that I have experience for making and creating props and armor, I'm open for commissions to satisfy people's costume/cosplay needs. If you have any questions or ideas, you can contact me through gmail or messenger and have yourself a good day.

Hey everyone, I know it's been a while since last I've posted, but I've been very busy. Here's a piece of my last commission I recently finished. Here's a nice story on how this commission came in, a father wanted to surprise his son, who loves warhammer 40k. The kid loves painting the figurines, and the father commissioned me to bring his favorite characters to life. In this case, a "Blood Angel", the father wanted to be the blood angel while the son wanted to be a creature called " The Nurgling". (I'll make a post about it soon)

While this is a great surprise, they wanted to go to their very first convention in style, which is San Diego . For those that are attending/attended sdcc and saw a blood angel and a nurgling, those are my builds. I'll post more about the armor in another post, but this helmet is one of my favorites that I've ever built. Enjoy sdcc!! I'll make my way there someday!!

Here's some more pictures of Atrocitus I never posted. Let's give some more love to the character. I gotta say, it's always a pleasure working with , he produces some of the best cosplay pictures I have. Can't wait for the next one!!

Lastly, I still can't believe this cosplay won the armor category at championships of cosplay 2022. Awesome times!!

Back in 2018, after I built my first armor cosplay a year prior, I decided to go about another suit. I fell in love with this character called "Civil Warrior" from Marvel's Contest of Champions mobile game. I started making him, learned new techniques, and posted my progress on Facebook groups and such. After I finished the first version of the suit, I knew I could do better. So, instead of throwing it away, I raffled it off at at the booth we had at the time. The lucky raffle winner was the one and only and that was also the same con and year we've met.

So after I raffled the first version, I got my very first commission from to make him a civil warrior suit. He requested for it to have lights and have a darker color scheme. I was happy and lucky to have him as a client because he goes to hospitals dressed as Captain American to cheer up the people and gives them hope. Safe to say, it's nice to know that my work puts a smile on people's faces. Anyway, making these suits after my very first one was very ambitious for me, especially at the time

In 2018, after joining , some of us decided to attend a con called Heroes and Villains fan fest. We decided to go as xmen characters and do a little group cosplay. At the time, I didn't have nor never made an xmen cosplay before, and there wasn't much time to make anything huge. I said to the crew, "Give me a few days," at the time deadpool 2 released earlier that year. So I decided to make a juggernaut cosplay from deadpool 2.

It's an xmen character but just a different version. Made the helmet from start to finish in 6 hours same day, the fastest helmet build I've ever done. I ordered a coverall hazmat suit from Amazon, peeled the sticker off, and painted it yellow with the silver lines and DMC on the leg. It was a simple cosplay, but I knew with my size it'll work very well. After I made mine, a wave of other makers started making their own versions. I don't really care, but it's cool to know that I'm the first cosplayer to cosplay the deadpool 2 juggernaut. I still have the helmet, but the suit got destroyed. Eventually, I'll recreate him, but this time, I'll add some armor and more details. Lastly, as for every other build, I learned new techniques that I still use today. Learned how to make fake welds using hot glue, first time doing weathering and pattern making. Another part of my stepping stone to where I am and do today
