toy story

Starting to paint a couple of the leg pieces for my Buzz Lightyear Build. I’m using eva foam, sealing it with glue, then brushing a few coats of roto cast resin for that plastic toy feel. It’s my first time using any of these materials so this whole build is a learning experience.

I was hired to build this Woody’s Roundup radio that is seen briefly in Toy Story 2. This was a ton of fun to capture the look of some of the old school materials including Bakelite knobs, chrome Woody medallion, and vintage speaker fabric. Of course I made a second one to keep. He’s the...

BUZZ LIGHTYEAR COSPLAY WIP Hi, I have something less than a year working on a Buzz Lightyear Cosplay and it's already taking shape. I create this thread to upload some of the photos of the process and be able to comment with other people the problems I have had, how I solve them (or not) and...

Hi all, First time poster here, but long time admirer. My college background is design so I really love designing and building (and all the figuring out that goes on in between!). My friends and I have something of a Halloween tradition, dating back to when we were in college together. These...

I was supposed to wear Dark Helmet for 2016's Halloween costume, but unfortunately, only adults would know it and laugh. Kids don't get it. I was always batting around the idea of doing a Buzz Lightyear costume. I had planned for about half a month and worked a lot with Blender to get to the end...

Hi everyone, First post. Have decided it's time to tackle a project I've been wanting to do for some time, the repair kit of Geri the Cleaner from Toy Story 2. The scene is here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y7lq3qVbP_8 I've got some high res screen grabs so the first step will be drawing up...

Hello everyone, It's been a while since I've posted or lurked on here but I thought I would let you in on a build I've been working on. I've been planning and researching for over a year but finally in May I was able to purchase a 1979 Toyota SR5 that is becoming the Pizza Planet Truck from Toy...

This is my first time posting here. So here is my take on Buzz Lightyear. It's made from foam mats. This is my first time doing a foam or armor build (I typically just sew). It was a fun learning experience. It also took a bit of work since I had to design the templates myself (I couldn't find...

I've seen many amazing props on this forum based on various movies, TV shows, and video game series, but not as much based on animated or cartoon movies or shows as I expected. There's been some great props recently pop-up like Marvin the Martian's gun & the hand-held game from FLCL, but these...

Hi All, I used the forum to help with my Buzz Build for my halloween costume so I figured I would put this thread together to help other first timers. This is a basic foam build I used 1" and 1/2" green foam insulation board from Lowes, about $15 each. I also cut up one blue foam camping mat...

I'm very new to this degree of costume making. My previous costumes consisted of sewing combined with store bought props This is what i made last year the night before we needed them. I know the light sabers are the wrong colors but that's all i could find :/ Well this year I've got at better...

I'm new to RPF, but I've been working on a costume of Buzz Lightyear, so here's some of the in progress pictures.

Hey everyone, I just finished a post (HERE) summarizing my build of the Robot form Toy Story. I tried to duplicate the playability of the movie version so the head and waist turn, the wheels move with their silicone rubber tread and the arms rotate on a ball joint shoulder with telescoping...

Hey everybody! I've been working on a commission of the Robot from the Toy Story movies. A minor character but there are some hardcore collectors out there! Here's what I have completed so far I've hit a stumbling block when it came to making the tread. I built a master tread for each side as...

Hi all, thought I'd make a detailed post here of how I made my 2013 Halloween Buzz Lightyear costume. I'm pretty sure I borrowed every good idea from somebody already on the RPF, but perhaps other newbies will join up like me and continue the trend of learning all these awesome techniques you...

Hi everyone! Ok, so this is my first post, and I'm starting my Buzz Lightyear girl suit for halloween! I've just ordered my 18" 40 gauge dome for the helmet from Barnard Ltd. I also ordered this wig because I figured I probably wouldn't have Buzz's purple head piece. Here are some reference...

I offered my local zoo to create a new Buzz Lightyear costume since their last one was basically a jumpsuit filled with polyfoam. I decided to make it out of EVA foam. I used pepakura files and rescaled several PDF breakdowns of his armor. Once I shaped the pieces with with a heat gun I...
