** New Members: Please Introduce Yourselves Here! **

Oh right... Just saw thi new member introduction thread just now....

ANywho,
I am GoGators, orriginally from earth, all over earth. My day was in the military and we moved every two years, and every time we moved we managed to get to a new country.
I have lived in, Germany,USA,UK,Japan,Australia, and a few more that i cant recall off the top of my head. I love the concept of pepakura, but as of yet have had no sucessful folds. (I do have a pile of cut out paper that I messed up with...) However I am determined to get this right so I am going to go print out some more pep and get too work on that soon.

Thanks for all of your great personalities and talents that I hope to absorb in the upcoming months!

Hey guys!

I'm Gurby and I live in the Netherlands,
for a while now I've been very interested in props,
so I figured I want to make some myself!
I've been reading a lot of posts here,
so I finally decided to make an account myself
I have a lot of plans to craft props based on items from Games.

I am looking for advice and also somekind of 'getting started' info!
Is there a topic that covers this?

And all the props in this forum looks absolutely fantastic!

Hey this is Vman801 but im here to say hi to every body and love movie props got a few but yeah so Hi

Hello all. Love the site. Great support for those of like mind.

Also, I find that we are much like our younger selves with those old toy commercials. But I WANT to be (fill in the blank)!

Hello to all. I have been model, replica, prop, scenic building and sculpting professionally for about 25 years. I have a lot of experience that I hope to share with everyone. I am currently working on a number of things and am getting ready to start a costume build for next years megacon. I have a really big library of special effects books and it is always growing. My strengths are sculpting and painting. I look forward to talking with everyone!

Ended up here looking someone's Supernatural pistol project and figured I would register and see more. Ive never made any myself, but there's a few I would like to if I ever get the time/budget/ambition.

Hey y'all,

I'm from Germany and have been a long time lurker. Yesterday i finally made an account to gain some knowledge, I'd also love to share some information with you guys/gals and start with my Iron Man Mark 7. The stuff you guys/gals build is amazing!

hello fellow geeks...

hello all.... bring on the batmans, robins, spidermans and all things geek

Hello All,

Thought I would introduce myself a bit. Love all things Good Movie! Especially, enjoy looking at the master craftsmanship you guys put into replicating movie props and costumes (clothes).

Favorite Movie Quote: "Your gun says 'replica' on the side."

What's up everybody? Was researching some prop replicas and came across this site. So far I'm loving it and in the process of a few prop replicas myself.

I'm a HUGE movie buff over 1000 DVDs/BLU-Rays at the house at the moment. By Far my favorite is the Back to the Future Trilogy (in the process of buying myself a DeLorean), Ghostbusters (wish I could afford the ECTO-1, but that Cadillac is pricey!), and Superman. That's just a few of my favorites.

Hope to post up a 'play-by-play' of the projects to come.

I've made a couple posts but never fully introduced myself.

I came upon the RPF last year around Sept. by googling costume ideas for Halloween. I've always been interested in making costumes but never on a professional level. I'm more of a step above half a#%!

When I stumbled upon the RPF I had a geek-gasm. I couldn't stop showing my wife all the beyond awesome projects members had taken on... and finished!! Wow! I take much inspiration from the members here that are all about helping out other like minded people.

I am Wookieefoot and I'm just a big kid at heart who likes to dress up and be someone else. Nice to meet you.

Joined 2 months ago after lurking in the 850 000 views Tron Legacy thread.
Couldn't take it anymore, had to let my inner nerd out and embrace it...needless to say the old lady greatly enjoys teasing me about it.

Everyone is very friendly here and I can't wait to complete my first project!

Hello, I'm DeathsEmbassy and I'm from Canada. I'm a complete n00b so far so I joined up here to read tutorials and learn from the best. Right now I'm really into Sci-fi in general and Fallout so I'm probably going to be focusing on that for now. Feel free to link me to some pages!

My name is Johnathan, I'm from Brooklyn.

a year ago, I got into armor and Prop making, Specifically Halo but I plan on other things

my first sussessful Prop is a Tatical TACPAD, a wrist Device. you can check it out on my deviantart page at charizardag.deviantart.com before I post pics here

Hello everyone!!! My name is Chris, i am from the small state of West Virginia, in the US... I have been lurking and learning a lot from many different people and projects on here for a while now.. I must say that there are a lot of incredibly talented gents and ladies on here. I am a very avid iron man fan, as i see many on here are, and honestly started here to aquife a full suit, i inquired with TMP about one of their suits, but the more i pondered on it and the more i read from various threads here, and also being from the background i am, i decided that i would just give it a shot and build a suit for myself. I think i can take more pride in something i made rather than bought. Once i get a little further along i will start a thread and post some pics of my work so far. Thanks for having me!!! And keep up the good work everyone!! U all inspire a lot of people out here!!

I am Aaron from Toronto....

I have to say I am not much into making my own props as I am into buying them! Master replicas are a new addiction....Star wars, and hellboy are my loves...

One of my grails:

not much else to say other than I have seen some really great talent on here and it just goes to show what time and dedication can create!

Hi RPF!

I'm a huge Star Wars Fan, into Sci-Fi Film & TV, Comic-Books, and such.

I worked briefly for about 4 years in Props and Model-making for a short period of time for Film/tv commericals/print ads/theme parks but have since been away from that passion for way too long.

This is an awesome site and the creativity here has really rekindled my interest in it. Hopefully in time, I'll get back on the horse and start building once again.

Hi Folks. I'm an retired shop teacher whose interest lie mostly in model building. Both garage kit and scratch building. I like all the old 50's sci-fi and horror films and have worked several film conventions. Been doing modeling for about ten years now and just started to work on prop pieces. Did a Forbidden Planet Blaster which lights when the trigger is pressed. Just starting on the planning stage of a rifle blaster from the same film. Not a lot of info out there till I found this site. I was amazed at the the many talented people here and hope to be able to pick brains and share info. Thanks for letting me join.

Hello all,
I have been lurking for quite a while, admiring the incredible talent that goes into some of the props I have seen here. I am no artist, merely a collector, and I am very excited about the possibility of owning bits and pieces of the movies I love so much!

I am a huge Indiana Jones fan, it was while looking for prop replicas that I was directed here. I had no idea the amount of props that were out there, and I am very pleased that this site is excellent about directing where to find the highest quality items! My first purchase was the Acme Headpiece to the Staff of Ra, which was recommended by many users on this site. I love the piece (I have wanted to own one ever since I first saw Raiders of the Lost Ark) and couldn't be happier with it! I look forward to acquiring more pieces (and attempting to stick to a budget!).

Thank you so much for creating a place like this where you have gathered so many fantastically talented artists! So many of you have talent far beyond my wildest dreams and I look forward to being part of this community!

Hello all.

I've been a forum lurker for a very very long time. I started armouring in middle school (mid-90's) after a classroom presentation by some SCAdians. I was taught to sew at a very early age and have always had a knack for repair and embellishment. Though I have never completed a personal prop/costume project, I have assisted a multitude of friends with their projects and am something of a local go-to-guy for ideas, feedback, and assistance with resin casting, vacuforming, metal and leatherwork, and sewing projects. I'm autistic and don't do well at cons and gatherings, so I've not done much by way of public events. I've done a lot of period costuming for friends and family (usually Victorian/Edwardian) and have been involved with local theatre projects on several occasions.

I'm currently working on my first personal costume piece based off an idea I've been refining for the last 4-5 years. (The primary reason I've never completed anything for myself is because my ideas are constantly in a state of flux, whereas projects that I assist with are generally more concrete.)

I am something of a LEGO fiend.

I am a little apprehensive of my decision to become more involved by posting, as I feel as though I am walking among giants. The work I've seen documented throughout the last few years is nothing short of extraordinary and inspiring. I hope to contribute comments and insights of value, though my own experiences are almost entirely derived from trial and error with limited resources and a lot of MacGuyvering.

Hail and well met.

hi im new and was wondering if anyone had any icarly props from the icarly tv show.

THANKS

Hi there, folks,

Long time lurker, first time poster Joined up and it's a passion of watching for me... although I would love to flex my creating muscles in the future on costumes, props and models. The things I have seen here are extraordinary and I certainly hope to one day be able to exhibit a similar skill level to those I have seen here (not blowing smoke, just sayin' is all).

Cheers to all

Hey guys, a fellow Star Wars collector suggested I try this site! I love all things Star Wars....although my collection has been limited to whatever has been produced by Gentle Giant, Sidehow Toys, or Master Replicas. He had an X-Wing and Tantive IV models that I absolutely wanted to steal!! So thankfully, to keep me from a life of crime....he suggested this forum.
