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

Let me start off by saying, HOLY CRAP!!! I had no idea that all of this was being done! I have seen so much talent over the past week that i had to join and try to do this for myself. I think that I want to start with an AMS build but have absolutely no idea where to begin. Any advice?

Just realized that I have never posted here before...

I am Igor and I have been making props and costumes since POTC 3 came into theaters, when I saw it, I knew that I had to be Captain Jack Sparrow!

After that, I made a TDK Joker, Mad Hatter, (Horrible) Comedian, and last year (after seeing the work of Volpin) I made Daft Punk outfits.

This year I have made a Rocketeer costume with a scratch built jetpack for halloween and a Dredd helmet which some of you may have in your homes (Thanks guys)

This is for sure the coolest website and community of builders on the net and I am proud to be a member of a site that inspires me so much!

If you'd like to see any of my work, I have my flickr address in my signature.

Thanks ya'll!

Hello! My name is RedDash, I'm new to the hobby itself and I'm quite interested in knowing how to create some high quality props and costumes so I can go to conventions proudly. I look forward to creating some fantastic pieces with the help of the knowledgeable community and hope to give something back in return.

Hey everyone.

I'm in the middle of Arkansas, and I found this forum from Volpin Props' blog (and now I want to go buy a bunch of power tools). Been lurking a few weeks, and this place is full of talent and idea-sharing... can't wait to make something and share!

I like drawing, painting and writing, and I've had a love affair with cardboard sculpting since I was a little kid (cut out shapes, glue together, instant sword/club/ray gun).

One day, I will pursue a Brotherhood of Nod trooper armor build. Off the wall, I know. Old dreams die hard.

Happy Halloween.

Hey, my name's John and I found out about this site just by doing a "replica prop forum" internet search. I love cinema and the like so I decided to go looking for a place where everyone else likes the same thing!

I did some browsing and it seems like this is a great friendly place! Thanks from MA.

Hello everyone, my name is Piper. I joined the forum because I was searching high and low for replica doorknockers from Labyrinth. I'll make a post about the knockers I bought when I get them. I love being able to talk with people who are as enthiusiastic about props and costumes as I am.

Hello everyone. My name is Eric and I am very new to the prop and cosplay crowd. I want to dive right in though. I truly fear no project difficulty. There are so many different things I would love to build or sew. Although my skills in both are at a beginners level I am determined to be make the best I can. I hope we can all get along and I'm looking forward to talking with most of you.

Hi guys I'm new here and hope that my account gets activated soon so I can participate in the costume contest. I built a really cool hulk costume.

Apparently it must be working. I will try posting my build thread again and link it here for everyone.

Hey Everybody, my name is Dan. I joined because I've been trying to locate a PIPBoy 3000 from Fallout. I've found a few threads on here so I'm hoping I can finally find one and end my search! Lots of other cool stuff on here like the Arc Reactors too.

Howdy folks,

Pleasant evening. I'm Kyle and I live in sunny England. Found the site because of 2 weeks of pretty much non-stop research. I have made an agreement to go with some friends to a comic con in a few years and ever since I have become more than a little obsessed with the idea of cosplay. It's early days but I am getting more and more interested all the time.

I have started by creating my first papercraft dredd helmet! Its just had the first layer of fibreglass and I have to thank this site and its members quite a lot. Thank you all!

Thought it was time to sign up and get involved. I figure its a whole new world!

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

Greetings!
I am...shocked. Really. I have no idea why it took me so many years to stumble across this site. I must've been in a coma or something...possessed, maybe. Aside from that mystery though, I'm Keseleth, or Kes, as you will.

Costumes and props have always been a hobby of mine. Usually from film, TV, and the odd video game, but sometimes from comics and novels too. If I could figure out how to make a living at it, I would! (brainstorming that one:love). In recent years most of my projects have been Harry Potter related, but I've also done Final Fantasy VII, World of Warcraft, Lobo (the comic), The Crow, Star Wars, and many others my faulty brain can't recall. Of course, I'm also a perfectionist, and failed to take pictures of most of them because I thought they were horrible. One of these days I'll snap some shots of the surviving pieces for an album, but in all honestly I'll most likely forget. Sorry.

Why am I here? Because I Googled Pepakura+Loki+helmet and clicked an interesting link.
Why did I stay? Because I want to, via osmosis, assimilate the collective skill and genius of the true master artists lurking about! I feel like a finger-painting preschooler compared to some of you lot! :eek

Beware, forum-dwellers! Keseleth, lord of absolutely nothing, King of the overly-dramatic (and Asgard in my spare time), walks among you!
