Hello to all! I'm happy to be a new member of the RPF and look forward to learning from all the folks here. I have been checking out many of your builds over the last week and everything I've seen has been stellar, so kudos to all of you. I have been wanting to get into prop/costume making for some time and was doing research on the like when I ran across this site.
I am based in Pennsylvania and am a giant nerd about most things sci-fi and fantasy. Video games, books, movies, card and board games, you name it and I'm sure I like it. Gears of War, Star Wars, Star Trek, and the list goes on. I have done a few projects myself using my limited experience and knowledge, and I hope to gain more from your minds. One project I'm proud of is I build a "Containment Capsule" for a Replica "Potion" from Final Fantasy 7. I will post some pics from the build with finished outcome.
Things that I would like to build in the future, or work with in general: Gears of War Cog Armor, Links shield from Legend of Zelda. I'm courious about EVA foam armor crafting, hence the Gears suit, Vacuforming and Vacuformers, and just about anything.
Talk to you guys soon! Thanks again for all the help I have gleaned from viewing your post already!
