Hey Guys,

I'm sort of new here (if lurking is discounted), but pretty darned excited about prop-making. Looking forward to becoming an active member of the community.

Hello all!

I'm Eduardo and i'm very glad to finally be a member of this great community. I'm a fan of Ray Harryhausen's work and sci-fi and horror movies, specially George Romero.
Hope to be able to do some help but i'm sure will spent 99,99% of the time learning from the talented community here.

Best Regards.
Eduardo Santos.

Hi all, im Tony from NJ. Ive referenced this site for years and decided to finally join. Im a fossil prepper and artist by trade and a prop builder on the side. This has been for the last 18 years. Im a perfectionist when it comes to my art. I have been gathering research for the past 7 years on making a indiana jones grail diary exactly like the main prop from the movie. (I have made several already) i have studied the original handwritting, design size etc. i dont believe in printing or tracing and do all my work freehand. I am currently making the chalice of Kali as i was not impressed by sideshows version. It was a bit small i think and too gorey. Lets see... I have made notional treasure props. I love making curiousities. Anything strange and unusal. 17/18th century vampire killing kits, relics, rouge taxidermy, macrabe etc. the list goes on. Im looking forward to reading all the threads you guys have discussed over the years about projects i may have in the works or have done and learning more.
 
Hey everyone. My name is Matt and I found this forum by looking for some Indiana Jones prop replicas online, and some links led me here.
 
Hi all,
Finally deiced to get some of my projects going (the kids are bigger now and I have a bit more free time).
I've been a professional model maker for 14 years now. Mostly architectural models. Generally make silly fun thing, nothing too big due to the lack of free time.
Some examples of the little side projects http://www.thingiverse.com/Quint89/designs (there's a pattern of making things for the kids).

Hey folks!
Been lurking for a while and thought I'd join/contribute.
Only been prop making for the last year or so but I've been building stuff for as long as I can remember.
Done a little bit of everything over the years: Blacksmithing, leather working, luthiery, general woodworking, ect...
Currently working as a draftsman in the petroleum industry

Looking forward to getting to know this community and start building with you folks.
 
Hello! New member here. Wow, what a great website this is...a ton of information!

I am just finishing up on building my R2, and just purchased a saber from Ultrasabers, and wondered what else is out there is the form of saber replicas. So I it was suggested I check this site out. Sure glad I did.
 
Hello :D

Awesome place 2 b....here on the RPF boards!

I haven't figured out how to upload photos yet of my projects....and what res would b the best for posting up......so many projects on the go lately, barely enough time to hang out on the RPF....hahaha

Cheers!
 
Greetings from Jakarta. Working on my Boba Fett costume and thought I look here for additional information on electronics and prop making techniques.

I'm very thankful to live in a time where this kind of resource is available to connect the most skilled craftspeople with the most novice, thirsting for a glimpse of what can be made and how it can be made. I am in the latter camp for the most part. I came across this forum inadvertently, while looking into space suit replicas and was elated to find how many learnest costume, prop and replica makers there are out there. And their willingness to share what they've done and how they've done it, takes some of the 'error' out of the 'trial and error.'
I look forward to learning from others on this forum and, hopefully, at some point, share what I've figured out with someone else.
 
Well Hello all. I just heard about this forum at Comic-con and so I decided to check it out and have found some really awesome things so far. I hope to be able to help others with projects as I hope to be helped as well.
 
Hey there guys, the name's Wrench. I've been meaning to sign up for the RPF for a whIle now, and I finally got around to it. I'm 19, and I'm a small graphic designer on Twitter, and I've been hoping to get into cosplay and make some quality costumes. I definitely want to be able to tackle the task of bringing the character 'Wrench' from Watch_Dogs 2 to life. I've been searching through a lot of threads on how to make an LED visor, similar to something from Daft Punk, but more like how the goggles in my profile picture look. Hopefully I'll be able to find someone to guide me through this process and I'll be able to complete the build before Fan Expo Canada in September.
Cheers and I'm glad to be here in this great community!

Addition:
I'll hopefully start a progress thread sometime this week, finding references and all that fun stuff.

Hey peeps!

Long time tinkerer here. Found this place via @Donttrythis and I love it!
I've been working on plastic models and kits for a long time and I tinker with electronics occasionally as well. Just started with 3D printing.
Mostly I build stuff for my Stargate cosplays. I'm a member of the Nordic Reel Icons, the non-Star Wars section of the Nordic Legion.

Tek ma'te!

Hi There! :D

My Name is Effy.

I have been lurking on here for a while before finally signing up and joining you all

I have two cosplay's currently planned:

- Captain America Bucky's Rescue

- Ravenclaw Harry Potter Student

I know they are very different from each other!

If anyone has any tips on either I would be happy to hear them! I am new-ish to cosplay and this is the first time I will be going for Screen Accurate with the Cap Costume!
 
Hello everyone,

Since I can not afford an education at a cinema school I was so happy that i found this site. So much knowledge and inspiration !

Hi All!

WOW...I believe I have found my Mecca...

I found out about this place whilst trying to build a Stormtrooper costume, and more recently when I discovered the wonders of Pepakura, for which these boards seem to be a treasure trove of priceless information...I'm currently looking to put together a Rocketeer build, and the advice and ideas around here are just fascinating!

Been floating around here pretty much endlessly for weeks now, I'm completely hooked on the enthusiasm this place generates, and you're all to blame!

Hello

I never could get the link to connect to post an introduction so I am posting here. Mods please move as needed and please forgive me if this is an inappropriate place to post.
So to introduce, I have been into props and costumes almost 100% SW for about 15 years now. I have been a longtime member of the 501st and Rebel Legion as well as the TDH. I have not been super active on those forums mainly due to not being on the computer much at home. But, now I have tapatalk and I can get on much more. I am excited to finally join the RPF and learn and enjoy the community I have heard so much about. And hopefully I can contribute here and there. I troop as ESB Boba, snowspeeder luke or wedge, and am working on resistance and pilot versions of Poe. See you on the boards.

Hi, all. I've lurked around this place for a while now. Just bothering to get an account now. I've tried my hand at prop making in the past, with mixed results. Working on an EVA foam Kylo Ren helmet at the moment as well as a proverbial BTTF2 hoverboard.
