Hey there!

New member here. My name is Chris. I've started building my own functional R2 unit (part of the r2 builders) and that had me thinking of doing more, so I built a life size Jawa and I'm now hooked. I plan on making more prop, mannequin, etc

Hello all!

My name is Pete. I have been modding computers and X boxes for a while. My kids and I love building props for Halloween. We built a full sized Mausoleum with a Pepper's Ghost effect a few years back. I am starting to try my hand at other things and have looked around this site a bit and found some great ideas, and learned a lot from other people. i am looking forward to trying my own builds and learning even more from the folks here that definitely have more talent than I do.
 
Re: ** New Members: Please Introduce Yourselves Here! **

Hey guys and Gals!

I am brand new to all of this but I really want to get into making mask and costumes. I am ignorant in every form of this style so any and all help will be amazing!! Thanks for the community here!
 
Re: ** New Members: Please Introduce Yourselves Here! **

Hey there. I'm Tom from Arizona, USA. As much as I love exact replica costumes I'm also a fan of scouring the internet and building costumes from found parts. I love the talent I've seen with foam and fabrics but I personally like creating extremely durable costumes that you could live in (this obviously makes it an expensive hobby). In the past I've made an Obi Wan (Phantom Menace) costume that won me a contest and $$$, a Nazi zombie officer's uniform, a 100% screen accurate Indiana Jones and this year I put together a Rick Grimes Walking Dead uniform using all real Sheriff's dept/State Trooper clothing/accesories (for Halloween). I've browsed these boards for a while now and my jaw has dropped at the talent. You guys are an inspiration and several of you should be working in a costuming dept for films.

Hey Guys!

Found this site through friends and I’m hooked. What a great forum!
Been a prop builder and model maker for some time now and I finally found my home. The talent on this forum is amazing.

I have recently taken on some very large costume projects and could definitely use some advice. I’ll be posting shortly.

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

Hi all. New to the forum. What an awesome forum this is. Very informative. I was wondering are there any threads discussing reviews on good prop websites?

I was actually just wondering about hanzoswords.com. Is it a legit site? I want to purchase Thor's Hammer. The price on that site is only $50. Which is nice compared to other places having it at least $400.

Any feedback? Thanks in advance.
 
Re: ** New Members: Please Introduce Yourselves Here! **

Hello all!
I came across this forum several times due to google searches. Glad it brought me here. I love movies and the props and costumes are always awesome to look into!
My favourite films are: Back to the Future, Aliens, Jurassic Park, Star Wars, Mad Max and most WWII films.

P.S. I am obsessed with DeLorean's. :)
 
Re: ** New Members: Please Introduce Yourselves Here! **

Hi there everyone!

Just joined up after being referred here by someone who makes great cosplay. Just from a few hours perusing the forums here I have already learned so much!

I'm new to this and I'm doing a femShep armor build as my first project. It's SUPER ambitious, I know, but I'm dedicated to doing it right. I'm the daughter of two engineers...measure twice, cut once. Lol! I've already got the chest piece and boots in the works. I'm drawing inspiration from several different builds to help me, and the support of those with more experience is invaluable. I also want to make some prop guns to go with it.

In general, I love Mass Effect, Star Trek, Star Wars, and various other sci-fi franchises, so I will be focusing a lot on stuff there. The Avengers is also one of my favorites, so it's awesome to see Iron Man, Cap, Thor, and Loki builds on here.

Any advice anyone can give to me will be most welcome! Anything from best glues to use, best materials and methods, etc...I'm most interested in learning how to do silicone molds and urethane casting. Can't wait to get some pieces finished to show everyone!

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

I've been lurking on this site for quite a while now, constantly amazed at the crazy awesome stuff people create - thought it was time to start a bit of my own, so I registered and am currently working on a small project, the "one of these days I'm gonna get organiz-ized" sign from Taxi Driver.

PS: If anyone here has the Blu-ray and could help me out with a screencap of the sign in good quality (around 53 mins into the film), that would be much appreciated!
