Hi,

My name is David and I live in Northern Kentucky. I am about half way done with my theater room, and have been wanting to add movie props to the decor to give the theater a big "WOW" factor...

I was so glad (and blown away) to find the RPF, like others I too have been lurking in the shadows waiting for member ship to roll back around to join...

I am hoping to make a lot of new friends here, and learn a lot by so many talented people in just one forum...

Thanks,
David

Hello, i'm Terry. I'm not new to replicas, and I already know some here, and very nice people they are too.
I mainly make my own replicas, however, sometimes I just can't resist taking on a kit or two from a pure artist... they know who they are.
Anyway, a little about myself, over the years i've passed from composing music, creating digital art, creating game levels and now replicas. I create just Star Trek replicas, some of which can be seen here: The movie props and wardrobe collection of dhama:
I prefer to only build hero replicas, but there have been times when i've just built a quicky... but I end up giving them away.

I'm Tommy, I used to be a Prop Artisan (guy who made and fixed everything for a theater in Michigan) now I own a comedy theater in Michigan and I still make props as a hobby... in Michigan.

last thing I completed was five, dollar store Stormtrooper like blasters, one stick of PVC five PVC caps and $40 of bits and pieces. I think they turned out pretty good. They needed to be used for Rebels and Empire, so I didn't try to make them exact, just inspired by Star Wars.

Hello everyone, I'm Janette. Like others, finally got around these parts when registration was finally open! Big yay on that. Been lurking around here for sometime actually and the rpf has always had some incredible talent and the discussions to go with it, so needless to say, i'm rather excited that now I can actually talk to/with people on here. Have a few costumes ranging from bumblebee, lotr, odst, to space above and beyond and am currently starting my 2011 projects of jetfire and blackout from the TF movies. Yeah that'll be fun. Starting to catch the prop bug which is great, but not so good for the wallet, lol, but I look forward to builds and seeing what everyone's up to the boards.

Hello I'm Jimmy, currently an Army recruiter in Central Florida. My main reason for coming to these forums is help with Star Wars props. I have a Stormtrooper armor kit ordered and I'm currently trying to build a good looking blaster. I want to have all this completed by the time Star Wars Celebration V hits Orlando this year. I figured as far as building an accurate blaster goes this is a good place to start.

Howdy from a new member - I'm a big fan of various props, and I've worked in the prop world here in Hollywood for about 20 years. A couple of the coolest prop gigs I've had were on HELLBOY and TEAM AMERICA. For HB I made a few of his handprops and various graphics, talismans, relics, gold bars and other items - for TA I worked with an amazing team to make many of the 1/3 scale things that film was full of.
I collect things from the shows I've worked on, and from various other movies and TV shows. I mostly just collect the things I think look good - or have meaning to me. I also love to make replica props from reference material - for fun, I don't go into molecular detail...
The gang here seems like a great bunch - I see a lot of talent and passion for the craft - and for sharing. Thanks!

Welcome. Always great to see fellow industry professionals join our ranks.

Hi! I'm Kevin. I joined this forum during the last open enrollment period after hearing about it on another board. I make custom sports figures (mrmain18's photos and albums on webshots) and would like to start migrating into making props. I'm a huge Star Wars fan and my wife's father worked on Ghostbusters (mostly with Stay Puft). I have really enjoyed seeing everyone's work. There are some tremendously talented folks on here!

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

Hi guys, I'm Anthony. I was recommended by someone in SSM to check out this forum and the funny thing is that I've been contemplating joining this forum for over a year now. I like to build Sci-Fi and have been getting back into building again after many long years of not. I think I would enjoy some of the options offered here. In the meantime I've been blown away by some of the modelers here. They truly are some extraordinary artists. I tip my hat off (if I ever had one) to REL.
Richard, you are an inspiration and I would be lucky to cross my drawing and painting skills over to model building with equal success.

Hi,
I am new to this board, but I am a long timer on the hunters lair and dented helmet. I am a long time prop builder from the 80's, was an original armored for the 501'st back with Albin and was in the original troop. I used to provide trooper armor I. The late 80's and 90's until I received my greatest star wars collectible to date, a cease and desist from lucasfilm. I hope I can provide some help here and look forward to getting back into the game

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

Well I've been poking around here for awhile now, so I thought I should give some sort of introduction. I've been building models, and modifing them for as long as I can remember. I guess that's where the prop building stage comes in. A couple years ago (and a great deal of time, patience, and money!) I decided to tackle bulding a proton pack. I have a little knowledge working with electronics, so I was able to make my own for my pack. Then the next year I made a ghost trap, that I was able to wire up to open and close, using a detatchable foot pedal. Now I'm working on several gun kits, and keeping my eyes peeled on this forum, as well as several others!
I am a paint rep for Dupont, and I do (with time providing!) custom automotive airbrushing on the side, so I also have first hand experance as well. I kinda go in cycles on my projects, but I have some ideas for casting some custom made stuff in the future. I'll just have to wait and see!
