Wasn't sure if this belonged here or in costumes, so admin feel free to move. I'm trying to ID these sunglasses worn by Belphegor/Jack in this season of Supernatural. I'm terrible at identifying small accessories like this. I'm kinda brand-ignorant. So I was hoping the hive mind could help. Thanks!

Any wig recommendations for those of us whose hair has left them? I'm searching all over for something affordable, but it's pretty slim pickings. I know the best method would be to tailor the hairline of a lace wig, but a lot of those are a punch in the wallet, and most of the lacefronts I'm...

I'd suggest basswood. It holds detail fairly well and has tiny grain, both of which will be pretty essential for something that size with so much detail. I think you'd still want to put some clear enamel over it after you paint though. For tools, any old set of diamond-tipped carving bits...

The scale up on the TV was pretty ingenious, I thought. Never would have thought of that. Looking good so far. I'll be following!

Not so much lately, but Captain America shields.

What are they made of? If they're steel you could hit them with a grinder and bezel the edges, and then work on them with some sandpaper and a polishing wheel to get them to a nice shine. As far as a display, if you want to set them on a surface, a tiered mount made from plexi or metal could...

Maybe the DCEU is moving away from "dark and gritty" and actually letting people SEE the film that's been shot. :lol

Takeshi Kovacs' Trench/Duster/Greatcoat - Altered Carbon Selene's Death Dealer Duster - Underworld Gomez Addams' Smoking Jacket - The Addams Family Star Lord's Ravager Jacket - Guardians of the Galaxy Ferris Bueller's Leather Jacket - Ferris Bueller's Day Off The Tenth Doctor's Trench...

Maybe a cardboard tube with some expanding foam in the middle? Not sure how much strength it'll add, but it could be worth a shot.

If you have a Hobby Lobby nearby, you might try there. I found some buttons there in a different color but similar design.

Fond memories of spending an hour playing the demos of video games I was too poor to actually own. The TRU in my town shut down a little over 10 years ago, but it was a integral part of my summer days as a kid. Walk around the mall, then walk across the street and catch a movie, then walk up the...

Wow, how flattering! I don’t think I’ve ever inspired someone else’s work before. Haha. But that looks great! Nice work! I can’t quite tell from the picture, did you use MDF or something else? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I didn't know how to use a sewing machine either until I sat down and taught myself. I mean, if you have access to one, no reason to not learn how to use it. Just get a few yards of muslin and start practicing some straight seams, then try out some curves. Watch some tutorials, etc. Sewing...

The only replica props I've had signed so far are my Jason hocks. But, I made those specifically with the intention of getting them signed. I figure if I want one for cosplay or a gift or whatever, I'll just make another one. I agree with Michael though, I'd never have a screen-used prop...

I HAVE to remember to get in on this next year. It looks like a ton of fun.
