Thank you all for the suggestions! :)

Greetings all, I just joined a maker-group here in North Houston and now have access to a wide range of tools and tech. I now want to start prop designing and building in earnest and am thinking of starting with a bunch of simple(ish) metal pieces such as Batarangs etc. Can anyone advise me...

Great stuff! I may give the snap-on clip a try. Thanks once again for the info. It's much appreciated :)

Thanks very much for the advice, Felgacarb :) Now, forgive my ignorance but I'm not sure what kind of clips you mean when you talk about 'snap-on or pop-out pocket clips'. Can you direct me to any sites or images of these? I also hate to ask but do you have any images of your phasers and how you...

Thanks, Moviefreak but unfortunately the main page on that site states that blanks are no longer for sale and googling "unfinished boomerang blanks" yields the same results as I got earlier.

Hi Wellss. I've done a pretty extensive online search and can't find any of the blanks you mention. Can you point me toward any particular retailer?

I'm seriously considering making a DC Comics 'Captain Boomerang' costume from the mini-series, "Identity Crisis. I'm very enthusiastic about coming up with some cool customised boomerangs (razor-edged, explosive etc) to wear in the bandolier that is part of the costume. What material do you...

Thanks very much, ahoudini :)

Mellow greetings all, As someone who is completely new to working with resin models I am wondering what the preferences are of the experienced crowd when it comes to primer & paints. Which brand have you had the most success with? My first resin project will be a simple blade that I need to...

Awesome work, Todd :) Will you be offering any of these for sale? If so will you be making any of the round-tip versions?
