Hey everyone!

My name is Conner and as a start I absolutely love replica costumes and armor. I'm a Star Wars fanatic and my very first build ever was my TD (sandtrooper). I plan on starting a biker scout very soon to add to my 501st Star Wars collection. In the near future I would like to acquire a Batsuit, Iron Man Mark V, Several other Star Wars costumes and a Ghostbuster.

That link is a very short video of me in my Sandtrooper armor moonwalking. Just for fun!

can't wait to get started!
Thanks!

Hey Everyone,
I'm Mark, originally from South Africa, now living out cold Germany. There's not really much to say, I signed up because this seems like a community full of fantastic people and completely awesome talent.

I've never made props but I've always been interested in them.

I recently started making an Iron Man mark IV suit using pepakura files so once I get more done I'll open a thread and post pictures. So far I've only got the helmet, bicep, neck, forarm, hands, chest, back and shoulder pepped, I'll be working on the abs piece today too.

Hi there, everyone!

I'm Marty, and I'm from Washington state. By day, I'm a professional nerd (computer and network technician)... by night, I do the nerd thing freelance.

Been interested in costume making for quite a while, but it wasn't until PAX last year that I decided to give it a real go. Been lurking on the boards here for a year or so. Watching, learning, and I'm just about ready to start making my first costume... Dr. Doom!

Cayce from Texas. M/48
Went to Avengers yesterday and the hypomania kicked in, and I HAVE to build an Iron Man costume. Found this place googling around.

I have downtime from sports for several months because of recent surgery so it's a great time to get started.

Running out today to pick up paper and knives to start building.

It looks like people have done some awesome work creating models and I'm really chuffed to do this.

CP.

Greetings all,
I stumbled upon this site when I was searching for tutorials and costume help for a costume I've been debating making. I actually found more than I was looking for here in various threads, and was pleasantly surprised since I'd never heard of this site before. I see a lot of help mostly with props, which is what I need help with the most. Sewing I have a bit of experience with at least, but not prop-making, so needless to say I want to make the most of this lovely resource here. It's great to see how many people share their costume and prop-making experiences and knowledge on here!

Hey everyone,

I've been into costume making and special effects for a few years now, but somehow only just found this forum. I've been browsing and this looks like an amazing community!

Hey chaps!

Best check in to prove I'm not a Asia shoe spammer.

My name is James, I've been making models for about twenty years, mostly wargames stuff then later WWII kits. Recently moved onto Sci-Fi stuff. Surprisingly despite being an obsessive Trek fan I've never built any Trek kits so I'm jumping in with both feet, despite being pretty poor at modelling.

Anyway, hello from Scotland!

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

Hi everyone.

I am new to the modeling scene and thought I would sign up and read through the forums for advice on how to get started. I am mainly interested in replica costumes but who knows where that will lead me.

Hey I've been on the forums for quite sometime never really posted much. I come from Halo community so not new to the scene. Just dropping by to say Hi!

Hello Everyone!
Im a new member here in the rpf. But I already know about this forum because there are so many people that are telling that I must join this forum and one more is, Im a proud member of The Hunters Lair and I inspire those guys who already posted their works in this awesome forum..

Okay, first things first..

Im Mark Celtic, from the Philippines.. Im just 16 yrs.old, I am a Cosplayer and a Costume maker.. I love making crafts out of cheap materials like craft foams, cardboards, paper mache etc. and make the costume details as accurate and detailed as possible with the help of my Dad... Some of my favorite costume to work on are Creatures, Creatures are so awesome to make although its a bit difficult cause the materials that I use are not like those materials in the other countries (ie. Liquid Latex, Fiber Glass, etc.) as I said I only work on craft foams and other cheap materials also, I am very very very inspired to The Legend Stan Winston who made me turn into something different.. I mean Stan Winston changed me and made me express my talents by sharing his works internationally, You know what I mean ... Next that I love to work on is Mecha Robot Costumes.. Robots are so fun to make because you need to make it as big as possible, Robots are also awesome for the crowd because its very unique to see a Humongous walking robot costume in front of you..

Some of my finished works were
Barricade and Long Haul from the Transformers Movie by Michael Bay..
Mazinkaiser and Venus ace from the anime series "Mazinkaiser".. Ghost Rider and many many more in our website at Celtics Lair...

So that's it.. Im looking forward on making new friends in this forum and please take the time to view my threads in the near future..

Thanks and more powers

Hello,

I am extremely new to this. I am a graduating IT student finally after serving in the ARNG for 6 years. I am also a working contractor and do a few rentals for extra on the side. I have watched hours on the pepakura building and I believe it may be right up my ally. This looks very enjoyable and it also looks like a community that is more confidence building oriented than judgmental. I can't wait to try a project. And the work people put in on these is absolutely astounding!!

Well TY
Diesel

Hi I'm a huge lover of props from superhero movies. If anyone has a Iron man newspaper prop titled " who is ironman" I'd love to purchase.

Thanks

Time for the first post ... introductions!

A friend of mine pulled me towards the RPF ... lured me in with Mass Effect replica's.

About me, during the weekdays I'm a software engineer, weekend are filled with troops for Rebel Legion quite often (I'm with Benelux Base) so the only things I really have is a custom built lightsaber with Jedi costume and a full Republic Fleet Trooper outfit.
At the moment I'm working on a clone armor (327th Star corps), soon (hopefully) and M8 Avenger Rifle and an old VW bug.

I'm from Northern Belgium, so I speak Flemish natively, English and I'm studying Japanese

hope to see and build more cool projects !

hello I am Natalie of the Las Vegas based girl group LEET Ladies. I found this while searching for the proper runic for Mjolnir. I welded one yes I realize it isn't like the movie one, but I worked very hard on it. & am extremely proud of it.

The Making of Mjölnir

^ that is the article I wrote on the process of building it

Hey everyone. I've been on the RPF for a little while, first as a lurker, than posting my first costume, Smallville Green Arrow for Draconcon 2011. Really enjoying the cosplay and costuming I see here.

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

Hello RPF! I've been a long time lurker and decided to finally become a member. While I don't make costumes myself, I do enjoy cosplaying and showing off others' hard work and skill.

As of now I cosplay as the Green Mighty Morphin Power Ranger. My costume, minus the body suit, was made by Aniki Cosplay and the body suit was made by 007halu on Rangerboard.

Here I am in the costume with a putty. I need to have the thighs of the suit taken in, I guess I either measured wrong or he made them too big.

I have commissioned a prop maker called Jtoku to build me Ryo Sanada's Armor of Inferno from Ronin Warriors. I'm hoping it will be done in time to wear it to PAX Prime this year.

While I do not make costumes or props yet, I think I may start a basic creation this year of trying to make a fairly accurate Scarlet Spider or Symbiote Spiderman.

Anyways, glad to be part of the forum and love everyones work I've seen on here so far. Great inspiration for sure.
