Hello all, My names Kevin, From Cincinnati, Ohio. I've lurked here quite a bit, but with some upcomming costumes I have planned I figured I needed to join since I'll probably need some advice from to time...gonna be tackling a Garrus from Mass Effect 2 once the summer come to a close, and hammering out a Femshep for my GF.

Currently I do a Stormtrooper and Mandolorian, Resident Evil 1 and 5 Chris redfield, Darth Nihilus, and a splicer from Bioshock.

On my plate as of now is a gender bend Harley Quinn and some additions to my mando before Celebration 6.

Hey there...
My name is Amanda. I'm just a teenager with a long summer ahead that gets way too excited every halloween. I'm from the USand I'm just going to tell it like it is. I'm a complete noob. I just stumbled upon pepakura and Eva foam cosplay etc. a few days ago. Stealth's YouTube tutorial on ironman really caught my eye and I wanted to try so here I am. I figured I should join now so that I don't start off terribly when I make my first suits.
Anyway this place seems awesome so I really think I'm going to like it here.

Hi folks,
I'm Cullen and I started by building plastic models as a youth. In recent years a buddy of mine convinced me we should do some Star Trek costuming. I insisted I would only be interested in the early movie Uniforms and sure enough he found a place to custom order them. I ordered some Assault Phaser prop kits along with resin uniform markings. before you knew it I was picking up kits where ever I could find them, ordering them online, etc. I'm big into different SciFi props but Trek is my biggest interest. One day I hope to have a wall covered with every star trek phaser and weapon on it.

Hi all! I'm a mechanical engineer from SC and decided to get seriously into prop making. Since I joined this site my mind has been thoroughly blown by the amazing content, props and models!

My experience is in metalworking or all types (and some wood) but I want to round out my skill set so I can make anything. Here is a picture of an animatronic skeleton I built years ago...

Hi my name is Steven but my friends call me Steve so call me Steve.

I am new to prop building last year I built a ghostbusters proton pack! I built it buy my self but it was hard work as I did not have any one to trade ideas with! This year I am attempting to build a iron man costume but I thought I would get a head start by buying the helmet because I could do with having it built for Christmas but after reeding some of the threads on hear I feel I may have fallen pray to a recaster of E-bay:facepalm

So it's time to join the ranks of people in the know. Thank for reeding :thumbsup

Hi,

I'm John from the US. A big Sci-fi Fantasy fan. I am so impressed with the professional artwork being produced by the members here. I'm looking to get into armor building. Pep and rotocasting are my ultimate goals.

That is all.

Hi all!
Found this site while I was doing some online research.... is cool to find such a large and talented community like this together in one place.
Have been designing and building props, costume, fx and set pieces for the entertainment industry as a career for many years and recently semi retired.
So refreshing to see the passion for it again in all of you.
 
Re: ** New Members: Please Introduce Yourselves Here! **

Hi, I have a very strong interest in back to the future. This is such a cool site!
 
Re: ** New Members: Please Introduce Yourselves Here! **

Hi all,

Well, I have just registered, but I have browsed the forum a bit beforehand. Since about a year I have been going to fantasy festivals in The Netherlands, and wanted a cooler costume then I used up until now.

Thats why I started on a Iron Man Mark VI build, made by cardstock paper. I do have some questions though, and thats why I thought about joining the forum.
 
Re: ** New Members: Please Introduce Yourselves Here! **

Hi everyone!

Sooooo..... I am totally diving off the deep end here. First major costume project, first time casting ANYTHING, and I've picked a doozy of a project. I'm creating a full-blown Loki costume, helmet, cape, body armor, the works. I've started sculpting the shape of the body armor bits this eve, and will be spending a small fortune on silicone and casting compounds first thing tomorrow morning. I am certain I will make a ton of mistakes, ask a ton of stupid questions, and have a fantastic time along the way. Any and all advice is completely appreciated, very happy to be here!

Cheers,

Terrafovea

Welcome Kearstin, good to see you here. You have a great lineup of costumes! Look forward to seeing what's next for you.
 
Re: ** New Members: Please Introduce Yourselves Here! **

Hi everyone!

Name's Danielle, Tamiwi on the boards and it's great to be here. RPF was always the definitive site for costume and prop making, and before I got more of a portfolio together it intimidated the crap out of me. Now that I've been working on my own builds and getting some SA costumes together, I'm so ready to be an active part of this very thriving community.

See you all around!

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

Well, I don't think I got a post in this thread. So, I though I'd finally drop at least a 'Hi' since I keep seeing the "AS A NEW MEMBER" blaring me in the face all the time. The site spoofing put me off to even stoping by for quite some time.


I generally don't like to list things I've done but it seems like a little intro is in order. :behave
I've been a more of a Predator specific type but my capabilities are a little more broad. Anyway, my sig has a pic of my Allspark computer case I built. I've participated in last years Dr Grordbort's Custom Raygun Competition also. My intention is to be more active in this community. Let's see what I can build. :love
