Hey everyone. Names Jordan, been on the boards for a bit but never posted. Just recently got back into it after making a cheapo Thor costume for the Avengers release, made me realize how much I missed the craft. Hoping to learn a lot more and contribute as well. I have a thread up for my Iron Man mk6 helmet, I know the Iron Man builds are probably getting pretty tiring but that's what I happened to start with. Into pretty much any props, Star wars, Marvel, videogames etc.

Hello all,

David here. I live in Illinois and just joined last night. I just "discovered" pepakura last week and jumped in with both feet My boss asked me what kind of hobbies I had and I answered "Hobbies?". Let's see, I get up, get the kids ready for school and daycare, go to work, pick up the kids, feed them, do laundry and dishes, clean the house then I go to bed. That's my "hobby". But I have always admired the guys from the 501st and their ability to create incredible costumes. Not to mention what they do with the cosutmes...you guys rock. So one day last week I was watching a YouTube video of a build and followed a link to a guy in the UK who made an IronMan suit out of foam. That got me on the subject of pepakura. One thing led to another and I downloaded a few files and a viewer, went to WalMart and spent $10 on basic supplies. Now I am 50% done with a helmet from Mass Effect. I used the free viewer so it's not to scale, but it's a start.

Now I think I am hooked. I will be upgrading my software and getting better supplies soon. There are a few you guys that have premium files that I want to buy, but that will have to wait until I get a few projects done.

David

Not new, but haven't been around for ages. Some other site keeps my attention, but that's settling down.

Just got an email stating that spam may still be coming from the hacked site, so wanted to make sure my presence was still known here.

Hey guys,

My name is Will and I live in Burbank, Ca

I have had a love for movie props and "Toys" for many years. I own a few screen used items from various movies: Chronicles of Riddick, Outlander, Scorpian King to name a few.

My dream items to obtain in the near future are Fallout Power Armor and an Original Necromonger suit from Riddick.

would love to start building stuff but not sure if I'm talented enough, hopefully I can learn a few things here.

Thanks

So far have only made one rushed costume last year and had so much fun, I had to do it again! Some quick pics of my Symbiote Spidey costume I made in a week. Hope you enjoy

Hey everyone!

I'm Phil, I found out about The RPF through a friend who has already been using the site and working on many projects of his own. I am hoping to have many of my own creations posted on here once I have completed a few.

I have many ideas in mind that (if all goes well) should turn some heads!

I enjoy seeing all the other great work that everyone else has done on their props and costumes. It gives me ideas and helps me out in terms of figuring out what materials to use and best ways to go about it. I look forward to checking out future ideas!

Nice meeting everyone!

Phil

Re: ** New Members: Please Introduce Yourselves Here! **

Hello! My name is Susie and I found out about the forums because my husband is a member. He saw that open registration was happening so let me know so I could join up as well.

I love making costumes and props and I'm a member of the 501st. I currently have a female Tusken costume and have worked on a few other costumes, including a young Boba Fett and Jawas for my children.

My next few projects will more than likely be a Weeping Angel and an Episode 1 Anakin.

I'm looking forward to meeting new people and seeing all the great projects others are doing.

Re: ** New Members: Please Introduce Yourselves Here! **

Hey rpf, I'm Joe. I'm getting pretty into pepakura and want to build my first suit. I see alot of Halo, Star wars, and ironman but I want to make something different. I'm in Maryland and welcome all types of creative folks to contact me about even the goofiest of creative projects. I've got about 6 or 7 people here who also want to create something nerdy on a big scale and we're looking for our special place. Thanks for having me, I and we will try to only benefit the community which from what little I've seen appears to be large, friendly and supportive.

Re: ** New Members: Please Introduce Yourselves Here! **

Hi there: I came across this site by accident, but joined yesterday. This is really cool site, with a lot of info. I look foward to being a member here. I'm from Toronto and the past couple of years I had taken my family to fan-expo. A lot of cool costumes. I thought it would be cool to try to replicate something. Iron-man, War-machine, Iron-Patriot. Not quite sure yet. I have a lot of creative skills, and what i don't know, i will learn. I look foward to chatting. CHEERS... murdoch

Re: ** New Members: Please Introduce Yourselves Here! **

Hey everyone,

I joined up because I've been impressed with what I've seen people doing on this site and wanted to learn what I could. It's been a long time since I've done any prop building or costuming, so my skills are very rusty. I was a technical theater major in college and did a lot back then.

Re: ** New Members: Please Introduce Yourselves Here! **

Hi all!
Let me introduce myself: my name is Roberto and I live in Italy.
Finally I have found this great website and now I am going to read it all night long :lol
I am very happy to see that a lot of creative people make replicas... is priceless to see real people "dressed" like our favourite sci-fi character. It keeps people dreaming. Thank you guys for your wonderful works, I hope to learn something usefull here. I am good in electronic but I tell you the truth: I am a disaster to make replicas.
I have built the entire electronic of KITT from Knight Rider and many version of Iron Man electronic boards. Now I am developing a new Iron Man pcb and I hope with your help to build the suit... nowadays it is a very bad idea walking down the street with only hundreds of electric wires on :lol
That's all guys, sorry for my poor english

Re: ** New Members: Please Introduce Yourselves Here! **

Greetings everyone,

I just recently got into costuming and prop building. I have a close friend who recently organized a toy drive for the hospital where his daughter was treated. He had star wars toys donated, and then had members of the 501st come to the hospital and hand out the toys to the children. After learning about this event, and a way to express my interest in the star wars universe, I was hooked. I know have 2 costumes completed, 1 currently in the works, and several others floating around in the back of my mind :cool

I have heard great things about this site and the information here from fellow garrison members, so here I am, hoping to learn more, and possibly passing on any tricks I may have.
