    Aussie newbie basic prop making questions

    Not sure where you're located, in Melbs I grabbed polyester resin only a few months ago at Barnes [Richmond] and at a similar price for size as my usual trade fibreglass store. Can't comment on other product pricing though. Also, agreed that the movie industry is quite reduced, though it's...

    Any suggestions on ABS sheets in Victoria, I've found plenty of suppliers but they all want $110-130 for em?

    Spartacus: Blood and Sand Training Armor

    I'd agree, the first few especially. Looking good though. Aging leather could be done with with something like an oven cleaner to strip all of the oils out of the upper surface of the leather. It is a bit of a hit and miss affair and it will certainly weaken the leather and reduce it's life.

    Portal 2 Boots

    Wearing them would be the main issue, as I see that there would not be nearly enough support in the heel as it is. Having said that, as a prop, they are looking pretty good, only question I have is do you think that they should be on more of an angle, or incline?

    potential silly Q?... starting a Vader costume with...

    Heya bud, I'm guessing that since you quoted Au, you're an ozzie, so you could shoot over to the local 501st Garrison and say hi to us there if you like. I'm Shiney over there too :) I think the basics of Vader have been covered, and really, Vader is a BIG project, that requires tons of...

    First troop with my Chewbacca

    Looking good. I've noticed a few wookies that just get better and better with age in terms of fur, a guy doing one locally suggests that's more to do with hairspray and brushing, thought I'd share the tidbit.

    Fallout New Vegas: NCR Veteran Ranger Finished! pg 8

    Yah, well like I said, the picture above looks pretty much like yours so, I wouldn't do a thing with the mask. Congrats, oh and I did see your gear on another site too in a photoshoot of sorts.

    Fallout New Vegas: NCR Veteran Ranger Finished! pg 8

    I agree, the pep looks pretty close, looking around whilst that pic you had up looks definately like it's at a more 'nose-like' angle, this leads in another direction, much like the one you did. All i did to carve out shoulder pads was to use some use some foam from cushions and using a...

    Fallout New Vegas: NCR Veteran Ranger Finished! pg 8

    I hope this comes across as "OMG THAT's AMAZING and here's a tiny little thing I noticed to make it even more amazing" as it is a great build in many ways. The only things I noticed was the 'nose-snout' angle, yours seems to point down more than the original picture and a trick I learnt doing...
