Two wastelanders forging badass gear from scrap and fire.
Mike and Cinder first crossed paths at Long Beach Comic-Con in 2015, where a shared love for the Fallout universe—and matching NCR Ranger costumes—sparked an instant connection. That encounter led to a strong creative partnership built on mutual respect and a shared drive for craftsmanship.
As they continued collaborating, Cinder passed on advanced techniques in armor building and prop creation, helping refine the detailed metal plate armor sets pictured here. Over time, the partnership evolved into a close working bond, grounded in years of shared experience and complementary skills.
With backgrounds in fabrication, 3D modeling, foamsmithing, and leatherwork, we combine our strengths to create highly realistic, immersive costumes and props. Our work has been featured at conventions, where we’ve competed in and won multiple contests, hosted panels, and served as guest creators.
In 2020, we stepped away from our day jobs to pursue this passion full-time. Like many small creators, the pandemic forced us to pause—but in 2024, the forge has been relit. With the launch of HellfireForge Creations as an official LLC and website, we’re once again turning passion into profession—ready to craft with more fire, precision, and grit than ever before..
