New Members: Please Introduce Yourselves Here! (June '09)

Hi Guys and Gals. Though I'm new here I joined a year ago around the time I went through Chemo. I did'nt have much energy to get too involved back then, but now I'm fine and back in the game. A dear friend of mine just reminded me of this awesome site a few days ago. She showed me a thread on McQ Concept helmets. I was blow away when I saw Concept Fett and Stormtrooper Helmets. I need to get those two in my collection! Anyways, I'm glad to be on here and look forward to seeing you all on line.

Glad you're back! Skygunbro does crank out some really cool stuff.

Hi everyone!!

I've had a few new members that I referred to the board P.M. me to tell me that they can P.M. each other, but their ability to post and search the forum is disabled. I'm sure they would like to introduce themselves here, but they're unable to at present.

Hello all. I have been a member over at FX-Sabers for a while now, and am looking to expand my collecting into financial ruin. Heard this was the place for that

Anyway, I have been mostly collecting sabers lately, but have other projects on the table, like a scratchbuilt e-11, and a pair of electrobinoculars.

I'm glad to finally be part of your forum, and community.

Hello,

I have been a member of Club Obi Wan for over a year now. I have a great interest in Paper props and got my start with the Indiana Jones movies. I am starting to branch out in new directions.

Lately I have been replicating WWII docs and other movie props; Saving Private Ryan, Shawshank Redemption, etc.

My newest addiction has been Battlestar Galactica paper props. With the auctions going on alot of new images are available.

I look forward to seeing what the RPF has to offer and forging new relationships. I hope to contribute in some small way to the community and help in any way I can.

Best,
DBCooper

Hello new guys and gals

Hi all!

I've been waiting forever to get a chance to join! I'm really glad to be here!

I'm a 30ish guy living currently in St. Louis, working as a Systems dork for the last 13 years or so. More importantly, I've been costuming and building props for about 10 years. Unfortunately, my collection has stayed small due to funds, moving and lack of spousal support. However, I ditched the spouse, the collection must live! I'm a big fan of Science Fiction and tend to make props from that genre (unless something else catches my eye, like REPO!).

It's late, so I'll distract you with eye candy and you won't notice my lack of verbosity.

My only "real" movie prop:

The mage Savrille from Dungeons and Dragons. Crappy movie, fun props!

My last costume:

REEEPOMAAANN! Please ignore the crappy knife. I ran out of time and had to make a blade for the stage in an hour. I have a much nicer one now.

More stuff later. I never go to bed on time when I start digging through this forum!

Hello all!!

I, like many have been waiting for what seems like forever, to finally have the honor of joining this group!

I am glad to finally be here, and to be able to join in the many posts!! I recognize many names, from other boards I belong to. (Ktala being the most infamous tag..)

Just a brief bit of info..

I am a bonified geek! *And proud of it!*
Star Trek, Star Wars, you name it..I love Sci-Fi, Fantasy and horror. Still finding new hobbies to drive the rest of my family crazy.

I tend to lean towards the costume side of things, but of course, I have learned to make several bits of props and such.

Looking forward to meeting you all on the boards!

Hello, Al from Long Beach,CA. I joined this group for a couple of reasons first I enjoy building. Second to help me out with my OCD. I've built small things (mouse droid, light saber, power rings)but I'm in the planning stages of building R2.
Thanks for letting me
al

Finally, after months of waiting for registration to open up again. I don't have really to much props to show off at the moment, the current state of the economy being the main cause, but hopefully I'll be able to contribute. I'm a movie freak so if you name it chances are I'll know it. I've been working on several paper props so hopefully I'll have something to show everyone soon. Just to toss out my current project, its some Married with Children paper props.

Hello everyone,

The talent on this board is jaw dropping. Been lurking for awhile, trying to get the hang of the place and biding my time until sign up day Woohoo! Super glad to be here and can't wait to get to know you folks.

Greetings!

My name's Thomas. I've been lurking here for a while, and I'm very glad to have a chance to be a part of the community.

I'm more likely to make costumes than replica props, but in recent years have become increasingly fascinated with props as costume accessories. My current project is a B-Wing Pilot helmet from Return of the Jedi (and once it's done, probably the rest of the outfit).

More than you want to know about me may be found on my website, here:

Thanks Alucardez. I have a book shelf full of 20K stuff to boot!

Hey, I'm JB (DuLake). I'm a college student and have just always enjoyed fidgeting with weird things. I'm primarily a writer, but every now and then I get the urge to build something tangible, like the half completed bat-mask and wolverine claws I have lying in front of me right now. Always wanted to learn how to make really good stuff and be all crafty and the like, so I started poking around a few sites, learned some interesting stuff but still really want to learn more. I'm a big fan of comic books, so I'd love to build me some of the gadgets from those pages. I think my replica pipe dream right now is to build myself a full scale Bane. No idea where I'd put it, just kind of want to build one.

Howdy all,

I've been hanging around these parts for the past several months and am happy to finally be able to register. I have been admiring all the the incredible work done here. Although I am mostly a collector, I am definitely interested in trying my hand at making some stuff. I just got to get my garage cleaned out so I have a work space.

So about me... I am a movie buff. Have been my whole life. Like probably most of the people here, I had always wanted a Stormtrooper helmet, which I finally was able to get a few months back. I also have a keen interest in movie firearms. I'm currently putting together an M41a Pulse Rifle, which represents my current "holy grail" piece.

Well, that's pretty much it. Looking forward to contributing where I can.

Hello to all! I'm Dario from Italy.
I've lurked here for many month and, at last, I'm in!

I'm a 360° movie props admirer and I like to build it with my hands. I'm a big Indian Jones fan, COW and IGI (Indy Gear Italia) member and all my newest props are Indy related. You can see it here: BAZZANOJONES PROPS GALLERY

I'm also a member of the 501st italica Garrison with a couple of costumes scratch-made by myself, a Tusken Raider and custom Bounty Hunter.

I end my introduction tell you that I'm very happy to be here and making my best congratulations to all the excellent artist on that board.
