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

Hello all
Name's Justin and I'm from Pennsylvania. I'm kinda new to this, and I'm sure I'll have a ton of questions for advice. I wanted to get into this after seeing a homemade set of gears of war armor, and at that point I knew that's what I wanted to do.
While I'm on the subject of stuff I'm looking to make, I was wondering if anyone knows where I can find a pepakura file of vash's gun from trigun.

Hello!!!! haven't done any replica work yet, i mostly like to do scratch built stuff. Models, props, that sort of thing. Hope being a part of this community can help me in the future. - D

Hello, JohnL from Florida. I do a little bit of everything. Prop work, model building, costumes, etc. There seems to be a lot of talent here. Appreciate the good write ups.

Hey, all. The name is Zid and i've been a huge fan of special effects and movie making since I was a kid. The creativity and artistry that goes into making movies, as well as the conflict that quite often drives that creativity fascinates me.

I've been involved in some really, really minor independent college productions way back in the 90's and the small amount of experience i've had in the business (I was a storyboard artist/key grip/lugger around of jerry-rigged gear) taught me that an awful lot of blood, sweat and tears goes into making dreams come true on film.

I've been wanting to get into propmaking for some time now, I just lack the skills. Hopefully i'll be able to learn a few things from the people here on this forum. Much respect to those of you who are taking strides to preserve film history via recreation and restoration.

Thanks for the RPF!

Hello!

My name is Micke Askernäs, from Sweden!
I'm a full time Mentalist and performer, and started building things as a hobby!

My first full build was a 1:1 R2-D2, and I might do a thread about the build here as well, and right now just browsing around, learning all sorts of things and really want to start out doing something in Pepakura and fibreglass =)

Looking forward to spending many more hours here, and the link to my R2 build blog is below, so please check it out if you want to ! =)

All the best,
Micke

Hi...My Name is Tommy Long I live in Florida and North Dakota.

Besides working in several businesses I produce Halo themed paintball events.
I don't have much time to build props, always looking to buy and never recast or resale.
Looking for Halo 4 PROMETHEAN WEAPONS for paintball props.
Such as Scattershot, boltshot, Z-130 Suppressor, and really looking for the pulse grenade.

I have bought many assembled Pepakura props and finished myself.

Hey, I'm javamonsoon, from Maryland.

My first cosplaying experience was an Ezio Auditore costume, but I've been looking to do something a little more complex, so I'm going for a Nanosuit v2 from Crysis 2. I've already started working with the pep files, and once I start on the actual build I'll make a thread.

Thanks, all.

Hello everyone, I'm Jimmie originally from Texas but currently living in Jacksonville, NC. I have always wanted to be a prop maker ever since I was a child but life had other plans for me. I ended up joining the Marine Corps out of high school and am still here today. I like to collect and make props when I can and stumbled across this site while watching Adam Savage videos on youtube. Im sure everyone knows about his man cave vids. But he kept speaking of this site so i had to check it out. So far I have found so many threads of interest to read and will be doing so for a long while I am sure!!

Regards,
Jimmie

Hi, I'm Kate. I'm from Los Angeles California. I have experience in costumes/set design/special effects/hair and makeup for theatre. I recently got into doing films.
I'm really blown away by the talent on here. I found this website while looking up Star Wars replicas for my friend in the Marines.
 
Re: ** New Members: Please Introduce Yourselves Here! **

Hello, I am Steven. I currently live in PA. I found this site while looking around for the fronts of how to do a Han Solo in Carbonite. I got permission from my Wife to make a Star Wars themed movie room in the house we will buy after I finish my degrees! I figured I better start planning now. I am pretty good with tools and working with wood, but I haven't built any movie prop replicas yet, hopefully this will change after I am done with school.

HI, I'm new. I'm Rick and I am getting into this prop building and costuming stuff. I built a Hahne Kedar costume last year and a few Robotech/Macross helmets, and want to learn to work with foam o make a better mass effect costume.

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

May as well throw a quick post up here too!

I have recently taken delivery of the latest and most featureful back to the future time machine to enter the UK. I am working with parkinsons UK and can cater for almost any type of event or special occasion. I am getting a lot of wedding enquiries for 2013 as people are always on the lookout for something unique.

Salutations, :)

I am new to this site, I love making things, sometimes I do things the hard way but it's always fun :)

I have built a couple things in the past, for example: last year I made a Wheatley clock ,(wheatley from portal 2), I made a chell costume for halloween boots and all, I still have to finish making the portal gun. I will post photos of my portal gun when I get to it(but it has been put on the back burner because I have to finish a gift for someone).

My current project is making a model-sized replica of the brown coat serenity ship class firefly :) I have roughly two weeks to make this and I'll try to keep posting my progress.

hi guys! im eversor from Madrid, Spain. i guess im here because of the very same reasons many of you are, i´m a fan of movies like blade runner...
 
Re: ** New Members: Please Introduce Yourselves Here! **

Well I've been lurking here for a while making some posts here and there while failling to make an introduction here.

My name is Brandon and I've been building lightsabers as well as some other items for over 11 years now. I'm trying to expand my skill sets from just machining metal and doing leather work. I know several members here have met me at conventions or parties this past year here in Toronto and I've enjoyed conversing with everyone.

So I'm hoping those here can help me out when I need it and I'll do the same for those who ask.
