| Nimba Creations prosthetics are made 100% in house. Every prosthetic starts as a sculpture produced by Tom Lauten, originally from New York and working in the effects industry for over 25 years all over the world as a sculptor, creature designer and fx supervisor. Each appliance is finished to the same level of quality and detail as those produced for any Hollywood blockbuster. |
| Siobhan Lauten has been in the special effects industry for 15 years, and co-ordinates online sales and quality control. As effects artist, she inspects every prosthetic before shipping to insure that each piece meets the high standards expected by our customers from professionals to hobbyists. |
| Each appliance produced by Nimba Creations is cast by an artist who understands the priorities of people purchasing our products; we continually turn out top quality, blemish-free prosthetics with thin edges, so you know that they will be ready to apply straight form the box every time. |

- Realism - Gelatine has fantastic flesh like qualities. In fact, as the user wears the appliance the gelatine warms to body temperature and becomes more pliable and flexible which allows it to move with the skin beautifully.
- No Seams! - with a little patience and some of our gelatine blender, it is possible to melt away the seams of our prosthetics to make an invisible blend into the skin. A little skill and effort can yield amazing results.
- Cost - if we cast our prosthetics in a material such as silicone or latex, each individual casting cost would be far higher. As gelatine is a re-useable material, any bad castings and excess material is melted down and recycled, meaning we get the maximum amount of castings for our outlay, so we can keep our retail prices low.
- Cost! - we sell gelatine for you to use on your projects for the same reason we use it on ours; gelatine is a durable, recyclable material which means that not only does it give you great results, but you have no wastage! Bad castings and excess go right back into the pot to be melted down and used again, so you can use your gelatine without worrying about wasting precious material every time!
- Flexibility - we know that our prosthetics are in the hands of creative artists. If you want to change a little something here or there on one of the prosthetics you have bought from us, it is as easy as warming a sculpting tool in hot water and re-sculpting to get exactly the effect you want! A great advantage for 'on the fly' make up effects on-set!
