Just about done with my son's Link from Legend of Zelda costume. I'm going to attempt Angor Rot. Hopefully I finish in time, just getting started.

3m 77 will adhere the vinyl to the EVA foam. I created human sized DVD costumes a few years ago out of EVA foam. Vinyl graphics were printed and glued to the foam with 3m 77 and it held up to a fair amount of abuse. I don't think you could get away with just gluing the edges of the vinyl...

I agree with GhostMinion on every point. It breaks down to this. Is the final product your work or someone else's work, be it digital or physical? If it's someone else's work in whole or part, it's recasting.

Rondo would be used to stiffen the helmet/mask/etc and provide a finished surface when you're working with a paper model that is in many cases enclosed.. It's fluid and self leveling and will fill any recesses. You would then apply fiberglass matte to the backside. The matte is where the...

I really like the dragon priest masks, so I made a costume around it and was Morokei. I wanted to make the staff, but knew I wouldn't have time for the daggers and a staff and wanted daggers more. I was a Ghostbuster last year, and a Templar Knight the year before that. And even Two-Face and...

Re: What's on your workbench? These are my first casts from the first mold I made. The original is at the top. Lots of mistakes along the way.

Assorted files, sanding block, spray adhesive, saw/miter box, technical mechanical pencil, clamps, pliers, duct tape, ruler, compass...

Great build and very good tutorial. I would put a gradient on the left side of your 'finished' pic and add text with the tutorial name. That picture is the first thing people will see, with a title you'll key people in quicker. Embed your youtube video closer to or at the top. People like...

You've seen plenty of Skyrim shields, but here are mine anyway. =) I made a 24" Dawnstar for me and a 18" Windhelm for my son. You can check out my blog for detailed instructions and more pictures, but since you guys are advanced I'll provide a quick synopsis video and a few pictures. I...

Re: RPF 2014 Halloween Costume Contest Here is my costume entry: http://www.therpf.com/f24/wardworks-2014-halloween-costume-contest-entry-228112/ And I just uploaded my photo to the gallery.

My Ghostbuster costume. Check the build.

Here is the finished mini pack. And an image of all the equipment.

This Halloween I decided to be a Ghostbuster since I"m a big fan and now my son is. I ended up building a pack out of wood, a pack out of foam, and a half size pack out of foam. I also built two traps. I ran out of time at the end and had to cut a few corners that I will correct later. My aim...

It wasn't building a prop, but it was in my workshop using all the same tools- I was cutting boards for a fireplace mantle. The board jerked while going through the table saw. I shut the machine off, thinking I had just marred my fresh cut board. The board was fine. I look at my push stick...
