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

I ended up here by way of TDH and STEALTH's You tube tutorials. I'm Christian, located west of Boston and a huge sci-fi/fantasy fan. Main interests are Star Wars and BSG, as well as Iron Man. I'm a wood turner and woodworker as a hobby, and I'm dipping into pepping for the first time. The foam War Machine will be my first build.

I'd love to get into sculpting/casting, maybe someday I'll get my hands on a vac former and a laser cutter, or a 3D printer...I can wish right?

I love all the work from everyone on this board...I've been in awe of the props/sculpts/etc. I've seen so far, and there's so much more to look at. I'm a veryyy happy guy! Thanks for sharing all, this place is paradise!

Hi Everybody

Glad to be part of this community
I've been collecting and making props since 2009 as an hobby
My preferences go to IJ and BTTF but also T2 and Titanic
With time I hope to post the props I think are worthy of being here (compete with the amazing artists I see at this forum is very very difficult)
 
Re: ** New Members: Please Introduce Yourselves Here! **

Hello everyone! My name is Daniel, but a lot of my friends call me Crimson. (honestly, they do!) I'm from a far northwest suburb of Chicago.

I've been lurking around for a bit and finally decided on officially joining in on the fun!
I'm a fan of many of the shows/movies that are popular here, so seeing people making iconic props that I like, is really cool. I'm no stranger to working with my hands. I love making things from graphic design, to cooking, to sewing (yes, i'm a bro that sews), to general tinkering and building. I'm hoping to be able to contribute to the community with ideas, and my own builds.

Now, to decide on what to make..... :D
 
Re: ** New Members: Please Introduce Yourselves Here! **

Hello :) I'm BP I was looking for idea's to make my son (he's 16 months atm) a Trick r Treat Sam costume and stumbled upon this place. After looking at the Sam stuff that was already here I think I'm gonna do pretty good. Also the last few years 4 to be exact I've pieced together/made the costumes (from movies ofc) for my kids/others and felt like sharing so here goes I guess.

Hello everyone

New member as of 10 minutes ago. I am new to making props and costumes but I am looking for some help and tips. Me and some friends are looking to make some costumes for the next Star Wars celebration and we are looking to be themed around Mandalorian bounty hunters. So any current threads,websites or personal tips on what techniques work best or any help at all would be greatly appreciated.

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

Hi everyone!

I'm a movie nut, and I enjoy all the props people make! Everytime I go to a comic book convention, I always admire the work that people put into their costumes. Then I heard about this site, and it gets even better!
 
Re: ** New Members: Please Introduce Yourselves Here! **

Hey all, I guess I'm not technically new - joined a while back and lurked much longer before and after that. Finally started being somewhat active in building my own stuff, so I hope I can contribute something useful or at least something cool!
 
Hi everyone, I've been on the list for a bit mostly in lurk/ amazement mode, but never really introduced myself.

I'm Grimm and hail from Portland, Oregon. I've spent my 13+ year career in the video game industry working for EA, Mythic, and Bioware, and others. I just (today) finished an 8 year run with Bioware as a Lead CG Supervisor.

I'm finally getting around to trying to learn this amazing skill that some many of you folks here have mastered and that's sculpting. I'm a monsters guy and was heavily influenced to get started learning this by the work of Jordu Schell. But have found an overwhelming amount of inspiration from all of you!

Well, I'll stop gabbing. I look forward to seeing all the amazing works you guys put out almost daily.

Regards,

-Grimm

Hi everyone :)
My name is LadySnip3r and I've been a frequent lurker of the rpf for about a year now. I'm a big gamer and have recently gotten into cosplay. I mostly cosplay as video game characters and use the rpf as a learning resource. I'm starting one of the hardest costumes I've ever done this year, hoping to debut it in April, and decided it was time to join the rpf and finally get involved in this amazing community.

A little more about me - My favorite games are Gears of War, Resident Evil 4, and Mass Effect 2. I've cosplayed as Umbreon (Pokemon), Misty (Pokemon), Lara Croft (new Tomb Raider game), Cog Soldier (Gears of War), and Aela the Huntress (Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim).

Hi @ll

I´m Michael from Germany, so excuse me if my english is a little Bad :behave
I learned much from Movies Games and the Internet, in School it was not really my thing. I´ve read lots of Communitysites quietly, but i think, its time to be a little bit more active on sites, so that all can profit from another. I play RPGs and Tabletops like WH40K, much stuff that i build is inspired by this dark Science Fiction and Fantasy Worlds. Most things i love makin especially for my two little sons, some things i can make with them others not.
So, i hope i can learn some new and interesting things here and also meet some new and interesting people here ... thanks for reading this :).
I build a Space Marine Costume by the way, the helmet is near to finish, but the rest will took me a while... i hope i can finish this project in a year or two ... we will see ... so long :cheers
