Hey guys, FINALLY, we now have our very own Star Wars forum here on the RPF!
I thought I’d take the opportunity to make a new thread here to tell a little bit about myself and show off a bunch of my work.
My personal collection consists mainly of 1:1 life-size costumes, props, and displays, but I also produce Licensed Star Wars items for both EFX and Sideshow Collectibles.


You can also follow me on Facebook here: www.facebook.com/starwarslifesized where I post in addition to the RPF.
Don’t forget to LIKE it once you visit.


Hope you guys like the stuff.
I’d be interested in hearing which photos you like the best and why.




Also, here’s a link to a nifty article in the RPF Pulse section that talks about my involvement in the hobby and the RPF over the years.
ONE OF OUR OWN - GINO | The RPF Pulse

First up is the guy that got me hooked in the hobby.
Vader.

And here’s a video I made of the puppet in action.
Make sure when you click on the link and it takes you to youtube, that before you watch it you click the settings icon and select 1080HD.
Otherwise the quality is crap.

I have always been in awe of your work and attention to detail. Everything you've done always looks like it came right from the screen, and I think that's what everyone strives to achieve in the hobby. I am curious though if you've ever branched out past Star Wars, or considered other franchises. I would imagine that any Batman costume you undertook would be to just as high a standard.

Gino, you have the best toys! Can I come over and play at your house!

Seriously, the fact you were able to get a chance to work with the originals (like the fett helmet) is just fantastic.
I need to get my hands on one of those ESB helmets some day.

This collection. One of the very few that take my breath away when I see them. Admirable, really awesome. Good job Gino.

Feedback is helpful.

It's funny you used batman as an example. Because it is the ONE thing that I'd actually really like to have as a life-size display.
One of the Nolan batman suits, preferably from TDK.
The only thing though is that it matters tremendously to me that it be cast from a production made suit.
I've seen a lot of impressive costumes made but I didn't think there were any available out there that were completely (or even mostly) made from original parts or production materials. If there are then I need to start paying better attention.
