Just saying hello! Some collection pics, and a free paper prop!

[KidL]

HELLO.

Just wanted to make my official introduction:

This is a really great forum and I've had a number of excellent transactions w/members over the past few years. I've been delaying making my intro for a while now, mainly because I just got lazy about it... but I figure it's about time I started contributing a bit to the board.

That said: What's a post w/o pics? Here're a few of my current collection. "The Goods" so to speak...


First Up: TREK PROPS
Hero MVII, hollow MX, Hero Voyager PADD, static Voyager Padd, MR FC Phaser, Hero DB Phaser, Laser Etched DS9/TNG PADDs

BATMAN PROPS
Static Grappler, Static Mine, Steel Batarangs, Certificate Paper Prop, Joker Evidence Bag (still uncut. Yikes.)

Hero Batarangs (metal) ... blurry photo... sorry.

Not exactly props but... 1/6th scale repros of the 89 and Returns Batsuits, Takara 12" Batman Begins figure (I also collect figures/toys)

STAR WARS
Just starting to re-build my lightsaber collection. A genuine Graflex Luke ANH saber and two replica Graflex sabers (ANH, ESB)

GHOSTBUSTERS
I've been wanting to build a Proton Pack for years and years and have just now found myself in a position to do it (financialy that is). I'm planning on going all-out with this one (electronics, sound, vibration, the works.). Plus I'm gathering as many metal and realworld parts as possible... I'm hoping it'll turn out top-notch... if I ever get it finished that is... :lol

I've also got a few pieces in the pipeline that I'm really excited about:

RAC All-Metal BR Blaster (the newest revised version)
MR EE TPM Obi Wan Lightsaber (just picked up from Gytheran... )
I Robot Hero Badge
and some other items I'm slowly saving-up for... :lol

I recently picked up one of Fetthuneter's Death Star Construction Crew hats. It's a GREAT fan-prop that I got a kick out of (I'm also a big Kevin Smith fan). The free ID badge was a really nice touch, but I felt it didn't meet the standard of quality of the helmet itself... so... For those of you who also got one, here's a high-res version of my design... It's my first concept, so I'll probably revise it once or twice... BTW: Thanks for the awesome helmet Fetthunter.

Thanks for reading through my intro. Say HELLO if you're feeling friendly. :thumbsup

Welcome.
And thanks for the paper prop. :angel
Your collection just reminds me that I need to get some more Star Trek stuff, as well as a Batman Begins Grabble gun and a mine...geez I like seeing other people collections, but it really makes me want to buy stuff I can't afford :lol
ANYWAY...welcome abord, good to have ya here.

 

[KidL]

Thanks comicasylum.

I've been meaning to expand my Trek collection as well. The recent Christie's auction drove me crazy (mainly because I couldn't bid on any of the items). The catalogues were no help either (although I'm happy to have them... ).

Welcome to the non-lurking world of the RPF. Looks like you have some sweet items.

 

[Chingon]

Welcome. Awesome collection and thanks for the badge. Already printed one out with my pic on it to use for Halloween.

 

[KidL]

Cool.

What are you using for the rest of your costume? So far I've got a black flight suit with Imperial Badges on the shoulders, but I might go a different route and wear a short sleeved office shirt and tie with a construction crew vest and clipboard.

Welcome, ain't it good not to be lurking.
Great collection, and makes me wish I could put something like that together, in my rumpus room. Need to win the lottery or get a new wife who understands the need to collect such items. Chances of either of these things happening are slim :cry .

But a great collection

And thanks for the paperprop. I can at least afford those

 

[KidL]

Thanks for the welcome guys.

Luckily my girlfriend is pretty understanding of my collecting habits (although she doesn't entirely understand... $450 for a Tricorder?... Hey, I thought it was a GREAT DEAL. ).

I picked up some grey coveralls and also added the Imperial cog patches to the shoulders. Also picked up a beautiful Imperial Officer/Tie pilot style belt from a member here. Threw a covertec and holster on the belt to sort of dress it up a bit and make it more toolbelt-ish.

Hey Chingon, can you let me know who supplied your belt? I need a few addons for my flightsuit and would rather have a 'Star Wars' style belt than a regular construction belt.

Thanks.

Post some pics when you guys get around to wearing your costumes. I want to see my hard hats "in action".

Yeah, Henry does outstanding work. Plus, he's an exceptionally nice guy. I'm just waiting for him to tackle an all-metal 89 speargun. But considering how busy he is nowadays, I doubt it'll be anytime soon

As far as the DS Construction Crew hard hats are concerned, I say go for it. Fetthunter did a great job and it definitely qualifies as a true geek-out prop. :lol
