Hello, I just found this site and love it. I am interested in any type of superhero props or masks. Legion of Superheroes, JSA, Batman. I tried making a Dc Guardian helmet once. I was happy with it until I seen the quality on here. You people are pros!!

Hi, All,

My name is Stormy. I've been into props, costuming, and set building since I can remember. Recently, I was introduced to pepakura (NEW OBSESSION!). I have started a deadric armor set & would love to get tips from anyone willing to share their knowledge and experiences on the subject. I am also looking to do a couple of kingdom hearts keyblades for a child's costume and Princess Estelle from Tales of Vesperia full child's costume. I am super excited to have found a forum where such talented and passionate (both amateur and professional) peeps frequent. Thanks for having me! [And prepare for the on-slot of questions to follow!]

Hey everyone,

Been hiding in the shadows checking out a bunch of peoples costume builds and getting ideas for starting my first attempt at this kind of thing. Going to be looking at making a Thor costume and maybe getting some friends to go as some other Avengers characters. Really impressed by the work that everyone is able to do on here and look forward to finding tips and ideas to help in my project when I start it up.

Hi y'all,

I'm either Heath, Skytja, Bogsveigir, or some other nomme de plume, depending on the site or community.

I am somewhat new to costuming, but not completely. I have sewn keyhole tunics, and cold-formed (planished and peened) armor for myself in the SCA for 25 years, off-and-on. I plan to make some costume armor for the first time, rather than for 'heavy weapons', as I'm a bit too worn-out to play the rough games anymore. I've been a comic book and sci-fi fanatic for as long as I can remember; now, I want to make my own things. Science fiction, and foundational history (the 'Why?' questions at the beginnings of civilizations) are my passions. BattleTech/MechWarrior, and Shadowrun/CyberPunk are particular guilty pleasures.

My projects will probably lean toward fiberglass/carbon fiber/cuirboulli "armor(s)" with a Viking/Vendel era flavor. I might try some comic book or science fiction reproductions after I get the ones in my head out into the physical world.

Thanks for having so much information in one place.

Yes, I am as dorky as I sound, I think.

Just saying hi. My name is Allen, I've been a pro model maker all my life (currently 49 years old) but I've done very little in the movie industry ... most of my my experience is in the aerospace industry ... I once owned the company (with one partner) that built about 90% of the models for Boeing Satellite Systems, our models ranged from very small desktop giveaways all the way through full size mockups.

I currently own and operate GameCraft Miniatures, a small company that manufactures scenery items of the gaming/wargaming industry.

Hello,
My Name is Tom (hearing a group say "Hi Tom" in the back of my head). I did models and some foam latex work in my youth (not professional). And my one famous moment in films was holding the door shut on a set for Cherry 2000 that was filmed in a mobile home during a dust storm. Yes, I am living the life.....

My real life work is computers and networks. I enjoy R/C submarines, photography, my faith, my family, and sci-fi movies (not in that order).

Thanks for letting me see the great talent here. Look forward to learning from you all.
Peace,
Tom

Hi all. I'm Derek. I live just north of San Francisco and work in the city as an electrical engineer. My main hobbies are currently amateur radio and cycling, but its looking like model building is going to be a highlight of this summer. Growing up I read a lot of Tom Swift and Jules Verne and the whole family were trekkies. I'm hoping to build the Disney Nautilus and the USS Voyager as they were two strong factors in me becoming an engineer. I have no painting or model making experience or equipment so everything is new which is always exciting and a little intimidating. First step get a kit, second step figure out what glue to use!

Good morning people,
I am a Brazilian who wants to enter this wonderful world of replicas and found the site quite by chance on that network.

I hope to learn and then help everyone I can.

thank you and let you go!

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

Greetings all,

I originally stumbled across this site while researching a Nautilus-Themed project (that also incorporates many other movie/gaming related props and artwork). I'm still working on the Vulcania Man-Cave and looking forward to more research and ideas while here. Many movie interests...Disney, Indy, Jurassic Park, and various action/adventure/sci-fi films and related gaming. I'm also 'particularly' interested in 3D models of same. I have a CNC and am about two shakes away from a 3D printer to continue my projects! Thanks in advance for any assistance!

Hi guys

After a lot of lurking I decided to join up and start some projects, being new to this I'll be asking loads of questions, but don't worry, I know how the search function works

Hugo , Sunny South Africa

Ps. Wanted to link to my 1'st build but it's still under Mod, will see if I can edit it and add the link.

Here are some of the models I purchased and put together, they definitely don't qualify as a build :lol

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

Hey, I just joined today, I've been cosplaying for years, but I only just started to do it semi-professionally. I'm currently updating about 11 of my characters, and am overwhelmed with how much work it is!! I'm so excited to have come across this site and can't wait to start chatting with everyone and sharing ideas and expertise! <3

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

Good morning! Why am I just joining this site now? Like, I seriously fail at forums and bbs' (oh man, now I feel old for dropping that lingo). But seriously, hi everyone! I'm Meredith. I make things. I used to be a member here years ago, but then I fell off the face of the earth (moved to Mobile for work), but now I'm back. I couldn't remember my old logon, so I made this nifty new one.

I normally don't do prop-intensive costumes, because I am afraid of things like saws and blue. But I'm trying to get better about that, and wanting to push my costumes even further than I have already. my friends Keith and Briana said this is a great place to start. I've also stalked enough threads over the years, I figured I might as well join in!

So here I am! I'm excited to learn from all you talented folk! I think my next replica style, prop intensive costume may be a movie Black Widow for the Iron Man 3 premier. I don't know which version. I may also just combine movie and comic book. I'm sure I'll decide soon.

Greeting and salutations.
If you haven't guessed already, I'm Doc Oxide, an aspiring prop and costume maker from Norfolk. At the time of the post, I have no real builds under my belt, but I intend to change that in the coming weeks. I hope to finally build a costume for myself (Hammer Horror crossed with science fiction). I hope that we can all get along.
