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

Greetings creative people,

The name is Yves, I'm from North Vancouver, BC, or some people call it Caprica. Yes, I am from the city where just about every sci fi TV series and movies were filmed.

My props began in film school, which was really low budget and basic setup. I'm mostly an editor and sound designer, however I do a lot of storyboard drawing for independent films. For the longest time, I've been building things out of cardboard, due to lack of funds. I don't have a sewing machine, so I only glue or rivet soft parts together. Most of my costumes I am working on now are hard costumes.

Joined the 501st Legion in 2010. Since then I have been busy on my after hours, hanging out with my Dremel and ABS plastic, more than my actual friends.......

I'm also part of a big science fiction community here in Vancouver, especially the Battlestar Galatica group. We've built a cardboard Viper, and had a few members put together some Colonial flight deck mechanic jumpsuits.

Upcoming projects including a scratch build DLT 19 rifle to go with the Sandtrooper and probably a Deadmau5 related costume for Dragon Con.


Oh, did I mentioned I am going to Dragon Con for the first time this year ?:cool
Looking forward to hear you all!

Hi everybody!

I've been reading this tremendous forum quite a few years from now, and I decided to register, show my modest creations, give my opinions and have a good time!

I consider myself as a true motorhead car loving, movie lover, Terminator fan and model car collector/modeller.

There are plenty of interesting threads around here, I will take my time reading and learning, and I will try to give a hand.

I will show my creations now and then, hope you like them. My creations are basically 1:18th scale models but not necessarily will just stick to that. Regards from the Basque Country, Spain!

Hey, brand new member here!

My name is Emily and I've been in love with costuming since I was in high school. I've currently only really worked with textiles but recently became interested in jewelry. I am also very curious about armor and leather working though I doubt I will have the funds to start experimenting for a while haha.

A friend linked me to a forum here about the Daenerys Targaryen Qarth dress which we're trying to build. The suggestions in the threads are wonderful and I am looking forward to trying some of them out. I'm really excited to learn from such talented and creative people.

Nice to meet you all!

Hello

I am new to this board and I heard it was a great resource. I am very, very interested in building an ESB Vader. I am not a skilled builder by any means so I am primarily looking for already constructed parts to put this together. Any suggestions feel free to pass them along.

Thanks
Tony

Hello people, Gloucester based newbie (Daryl) here. I'm keen on getting stuck into a new hobby and trying my hand at making a foam Buzz Lightyear costume as my first ever project of this nature.
I thought about playing with pep files (because my kids like paper modelling Angry Birds and the like) and thought about having a go at an iron man costume but was so keen to get stuck into a build that I grabbed the kids 12" Buzz doll and decided to dive straight in.

Tips, advice and encouragement will be much appreciated.

Greetings

I am a college student currently deployed to Afghanistan with the National Guard an amateur prop builder with an interest in building Anime/Video Game props and armor. I have only just now realized this as an interest of mine so im quite behind the curve on technique and knowledge and caught word of your forum from a prop builder on facebook i have been following for a few weeks now.

I have however already gotten my hands dirty and created a prop so I wouldnt call me a novice any more. The prop i created was the BRS cannon from the OVA version of Black Rock Shooter. Sadly being as i am stationed overseas right now i dont have any photos of the creation or better ones of the finished product but as a first atempt here it is.

As I said this is a first attempt and under a pretty short deadline too. My girlfriend asked a friend to build her this prop and well needless to say it was a wreck. I offered to build her a better one and it has flaws but I've already figured out how I'm going to rework it once i get home with better lighter materials.

But that is my first prop and I look forward to learning as much as I can from your community!

Hey evryone,

Not that much to begin with, I'm Joao, portuguese but currently living in the UK. I came upon this great community while i was searching for "The Keyring (Fob)" from the mini series The Lost Room. I saw so many talent and decided to join you.

Since i'm still new to this website, does anyone know where i can get "The Keyring" ?

Take care guys.

Hello! My name is Mark, I'm a painter of all things horror (mostly HalloweeN.) My work has been featured on the covers of Fangoria Magazine several times in the last year (exciting.) I hope to set up at my first horror con in the near future. Thank you, regards, Mark.

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

Hey All, long time member/observer but not a poster a little scared if im honest (no idea why).

Names Arthur from Scotland (UK), 25 and just really started to like the idea of prop building, it would be a nice hobby to pass the time.

Any way thats me, thanks.


Peace Out

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

Hi all,

Like a lot of other people, previously I have observed rather than comment. I'm 33 from the UK, I own a toys, action figures & collectables store and through connections with costuming clubs have gotten a real interest in cosplay.

I'm interested in picking up tips from fellow members and maybe try my hand at creating some of the amazing costumes that have been showcased in this forum. Some of the items, yes I have thought would look great for promotional purposes within the store. - another reason for taking more of an interest within the forum.

If I can share any knowledge with the group then great - but that seems unlikely judging by the quality of amazing costumes showcased here
 
Re: ** New Members: Please Introduce Yourselves Here! **

Just wanted to say hello! I'm new to costuming and have been intrigued by foam pep work. Hope to learn some new skills and meet some cool peeps.
 
Re: ** New Members: Please Introduce Yourselves Here! **

Salutations all! I am an englishman (well, half thai...) living in London. I am quite experienced on forums, as I was an administrator on one particular one whose name currently evades me. Despite this, I am very new to the whole props thing, but I'm interested in Sci-Fi stuff.

Edit: Oh. It appears that BBCode doesn't work here... That's new.
 
Re: ** New Members: Please Introduce Yourselves Here! **

Hello. Glad to find this forum. I am an avid toy collector, but now that I have survived the recession (again) I am looking for a few props and found this site via a Google search. My collection is primarily scifi/horror with an emphasis on monsters, including Japanese monsters. I have a surprisingly large demonic toy collection. Also some advertising characters such as "Reddy Killowatt" and "Willy Wirehand". I sell eyeball toys through The Eyeball Museum. I am building a 3D work station and hope to design toys and print them via a 3D printer that I have yet to acquire.
 
Re: ** New Members: Please Introduce Yourselves Here! **

Hey All. I came upon this forum while looking the interwebs for fallout props. I love what I see here. I am a huge fan of the game franchise and am, slowly, collecting some Fallout 3/New Vegas goodies. Most of what I have are some posters, a cardboard NCR Ranger store display, some mentats, and some unbuilt Pepakura prop goodies. I've seen some wholesome goodness here on your forum, and hope to eventually put together a helmet....
 
Re: ** New Members: Please Introduce Yourselves Here! **

Alo! Greetings from New York! I'm 21 and a recent Princeton graduate (in nothing useful, of course). I've been an avid cosplayer for years, but I've only recently started replicating 3D costumes and props.

I've been lurking the Avengers Hawkeye thread for months but I finally decided to join up! Anything you see from me in the next while will probably be either Hawkeye or Assassin's Creed related.

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

As the profile would suggest "my names chris" (also known elsewhere as 'starburst') and I am from the UK.

Currently I have a couple of Stargate costumes as well as passable Ghostbuster suit.

Cheers!
