Hey there,
I'm Ryan. I'm a big fan of the site -- it inspired me to start creating my own shirts and I'm well on my way...so thank you for that!
Long time troll finally got around to joining. Currently working on prototype of some hero prop extruded (sweating) dynamite.
Label ended up crooked and it isn't to scale, but it's only a proof of concept piece right now.
Kraft paper has been oiled and waxed to give it that sweaty look.
It's going in a salt bath tonight to try and crystalize it. We'll see how it looks.
Once it's done there is going to be 10 full sized scale pieces in a case.

Hey guys, my name's Kevin.
I'm new here, and just recently took up working on props as a hobby. I won't torture anyone with pictures of my attempts so far (yet), but I look forward to bugging many of you for advice and tips. My jaw is already sore from all the dropping since I've looked at some of the posts.
Including the guy who's posted above me, whose dynamite looks great.
Hi everybody...
so...i decided to bbuild a War Machine (HD) Costume, using Pepakura.
Its my first project. I did a Boba Fett 15 years ago. Looks like the costume did shrink within the last years ^^
War Machine HD!
The forearm piece took me 3 days (cut out, fold, (hot)glue).
The detail is insane and drives me crazy. Some parts are so fragile...damn.
My neck starts to hurt, watching downwards for hours XD
Hi everyone. I'm Cory.
Decided to join the site as I've seen pics and people talking about this place on other sites I frequent. I don't have the skills or knowledge to create these props and costumes on my own, but I enjoy checking out all the great work on these threads. You guys are really bringing these props to life, it's amazing to watch the process from start to finish. Maybe one day I'll get ambitious and try building something (I'd really love a life size R2-D2) but until then I'll enjoy the fine work put out be the rest of you.
can't really call myself new but i though i would introduce myself here I am Jon aka batgrayson and I am student film maker and really love seeing all the amazing things you guys make here
Hello,
Just wanted to introduce myself. I've been a movie prop collector on a small scale for a long time but just recently decided to become more active in the community after renewing my interest in Indiana Jones props and finding this forum. I used to work in the visual effects business on the video/editing side. I worked for Warner Digital and Foundation Imaging back in the day and had lots of friends in the prop business back then.
I am currently exploring the idea of maybe fabricating some of my own props as well and this place seems to be a fountain head of knowledge.
Anyway glad to be aboard,

Hi all,
Long time lurker but I made some threads recently. Big fans of videogames, especially stuff like Skyrim, Fallout, etc. I did make some props from Skyrim and, as of today, have started work on a full size Dragon Bone Armour from the game. My material of choice is modelling plaster on cardboard frames, it gives very good straighten actually, especially after soaking it in superglue...
Wish me luck guys!
Cheers,
Vlad
Hi everyone!
Before introduce myself, I want to congratulate every prop and costume makers I have seen here. There's so talented people in here!! I hope to have at least a quantum of you skills!!!
As far as I can remember, I always have been fascinated by all props and costumes made for movies and tv shows. I think to see some people like make my childhood dreams come true!!!
Thanks to all of us!!!
Hey guys.
My name is Mike from Phoenix. I have actually been making stuff for about 2 and half years now. I just found out about this forum recently when one of my friends sent me over here.
I started with Vash the stamped from Trigun and while making that I also made the gun for Millie Tompson for my daughter which we debuted at SDCC 2 years ago.
This was us.
Then I repainted the Gatling gun from Millie into a steampunk gun and have been doing Steampunk ever since. This was my first debute with it in Steampunk form.
That gun is now gone and I've focused on my backpack and the rest of the outfit.
Yes that is a working Battery Powered Lava Lamp.
Now I have moved on to JLA and other stuff like my Transformers Kup costume in the works. http://www.therpf.com/f24/transforme...roject-140347/
This was my latest completion of The Qestion for the JLA group I'm in.
I love making stuff and showing it off. This forum is also a great inspiration for me and helps me a lot with research. Thanks to the admins for making this place awesome.

Hey guys! I've been lurking for quite awhile, looking at the impressive stuff some of you guys own and or recreate and figured it was time I introduce myself.
Right now my main interests in this hobby is Hellboy, Indiana Jones, NOES, F13th, & Batman....my collection really isn't too huge and consists mainly of the few NOES & horror related items of which I hope to expand. My prized item right now is a NOES remake glove built by Joe D. Mack I recently acquired and I love it....
Hope to talk to some of you guys in the near future and get to know you better...have a good one!

Hi all, I'm from the UK. I found this forum whilst searching for replica cowls and have been simply amazed at the quality of workmanship amongst these threads!. I currently have a few 1/6th scale figures and vehicles and now have got an urge to move onto collecting props and hopefully grab myself a TDK Cowl soon.
Hi,
I found my way here after Googling Mars Attacks Maquette. I usually buy model kits, but there looks to be some great work here. I live in Brisbane, Australia.

Hello all, just looking for some fanmade advanced sabre models. PM for WTS.
Hello I'm a art student/ prop maker I hope to develope more sophisticated skills here. I'm currently working on a special build with materials I developed. I like miniature props like the saint gadgets, James Bond spy tech, and Batman props from the new movies as well as the Tim Burton batman movies. I'm hoping to develop a new stretch fabric to use in my props. If you have any other questions or wish to contact me please check out this blog or my e-mail address.

Hi everyone! Glad to be here and see some of the fantastic work you guys do ! I'm just starting out collecting/building TOS trek props....and having a blast ! Hi from Edmonton, Ab, Canada ! Cheers ! Rob
Hi folks!
I'm living in the Southeastern US; saw this board and saw that friends of mine from some of the other modelling forums were members here too, so I thought I'd sign up! I've seen a LOT of cool work here!! Color me impressed!!!
See everyone around on the boards here, and thanks for having me here!
Hello all
Nice to be here. My names Mark and I happened on the RPF while looking for info on Hasbro Clone conversions and Rubies Darth vader helmets. At present I'm about halfway through the Hasbro conversion and the DV is waiting patiently in the wings. I'll be posting pics of the Hasbro and a couple of other projects (a scratchbuilt E11 and a DL44) as soon as I can.
Regards
Mark
Hi there, folks. As you can see, I joined quite a while back (at the advice of a certain long time member), and have been sort of sitting back and watching things happen here for a bit. With my first prop purchase this week, I've decided to finally get involved with the community properly.
zuph guys.. im just new here... looking for molding materials ^^
just wondering... hmmm how can i have my 'own avatar here? hehehe just new here hehhe ^^

Hello realpropreplicaforum members my name is Dave and ive been lurking around these parts a few times and i finally took initiative to finally join. Dont mind me as i am just a newbie trying to learn. Ive made a few props/helmets before but nothing spectacular.
Hey all,
I've being a member for quite some time now but haven't posted anything because, well I haven't actually had anything to post. GDafi, a fellow member from the old Serenity (as in the film) Oz forums got me to join up, and I've been kind of an active member of the 405th for several years now mainly concentrating on weapon blueprints which can be seen here if anyone is interested-
Juliet76's Blueprints
Wizard of Flight's blueprinting work is a big inspiration for me.
My partner and I have wormed our way into making up some props for a fellow we know that's doing a re-enactment of Pulp Fiction's Big Kahuna Burger scene for YouTube. They're far from screen accurate but work well and are better than what he's used in any of his previous re-enactments.
Look forward to showing mine and Linda's work and hope to move on to bigger and better prop building with a great online community!
Regards- Joe.
