Hi all,
My name is Rik and I'm from The Netherlands. I work as a network engineer and have had a passion for tinkering and making ever since I was a kid. Since last year this has been taking off since I built a workshop in my garage so I would have a place to work on electronics, do some DIY and tinker around in general. I love building and making things and helping other people wherever I can.
I discovered this forum last year after my first visit to Dutch Comic Con, it inspired me to start working on my first cosplay. I decided to do a Tron Legacy cosplay as I have loved this movie and it’s predecessor. When I started looking for information about how to do it in April 2016 I found The RPF among other things and found it a really usefull site! I didn't subsribe until september of last year and finally got around to starting my project two weeks ago. I decided that now is the time to become active on the forum, share what I have learned and done so far and also ask other people for help so that I can get the best result possible.
I found it takes a lot of effort to investigate and work out all the details so that I can do a good cosplay and since all the information I found that was posted by other people has helped me a lot I want to do the same by sharing my progress so that other can benefit from it.
I’m also working on my website
www.ricor.net on which I plan to publish all the nitty gritty details surrounding my current project but also other maker stuff like the workshop I built in my garage, networking stuff, electronics projects, etc. I love learning but especially like other people which is what I think is great about the RPF!
I’ll be starting my own thread containing my progress so far very soon and what I have planned to get the end result I’m looking for.
I’m looking forward to a great share and learn and a great future for making things ourselves
