Replica instru.... Wha...?

What are you talking about I just want some steps on building a replica of any kind.

 

[Jamanticus]

Your first post was just so broad, I had no idea what you meant.

What are you talking about I just want some steps on building a replica of any kind.

1. Think of something you'd like to replicate

2. Research it like crazy and ask specific questions

3. Build it according to what you find

 

[Sluis Van Shipyards]

Maybe if you're more specific someone could steer you in the right direction.

 

[irishamericanlad]

there are TONS and TONS of things you can make and there are tons adn tons of tutorials.. what would you like to make?

 

[AlHazred]

Step 1: Find a prop you think you and other people would like to own.

Step 2: ???

Step 3: Profit!

Step 2 is sufficiently broad that it could be as simple as a trip to the dollar store and a few hours worth of work (check out the Dollar Store Lightsaber thread) or require years of work and enough money to bankrupt several families.

There are no specific intructions to replicating a prop. Tutorials on how other people had made their particualr prop are available here. Some may differ from others since many people will take a different approach to a certain prop. We will study them, follow given advice, or embellish on the information provided.

As suggested, select a prop you're interested in. Then assess your propmaking skills - what kind of tools do you use, are you artistic, can you sculpt, etc. What materials are you comfortable working with -wood, metals, plastics, resins, paper, etc.

There is a wealth of information available on this forum. Take the time to look though the threads that interest you and learn what others have done.

The most impressive thing among the people here is the creativity that they can come up with. I could be mean and suggeat an arts and crafts site would be better for you if you require instructions, but give yourself a chance to see what you can create.

[SurferGeek]

Just type in "tutorial" in the search and you'll find a wealth of posts.

 

[Superkrates]

StudioCreations has tutorials on how to create costumes and props.

 

[hankey01]

Here are some:

1. Go to Wal mart or a Dollar store.
2. Buy a booklight.
3. Watch V for Vendetta.
4. Enjoy.

You forgot to tell him that he need to cut a piece of it, you silly..

 

[hankey01]

Haha...I spose I need to review step 3 again. Perhaps I like mine to double AS a booklight for reading the graphic novel. Yes that's why.

Step 1: Be less vague.

 

[Organic Mechanic]

Man, I gotta agree. Too vague.

Step 1: Decide which prop you just have to have.

Step 2: Depends on the results of step 1.

 

[BPB4]

I'll try to be less vague next time
