Hi, I am from Iowa. Long time sci-fi buff. Most of my props up to this point have been purchased (Master Replicas etc.) I would like to tackle building a Sandman DS Gun as my first self made prop since I was a kid making phasers and batarangs out of wood, and then later model kits.
 
Hello everyone,
My name is Grimmreaper and I have known about the replica prop forum for quite a while now but never made an account until now. I am currently 20 years old and studying Product Design Innovation/ Industrial Design in College. My love for making things came from my young years of creating props from films and video games with the bare minimum of materials such as cardboard and masking tape, been making props for at least 10+ years, mainly into mask building. My inspirations come from other makers such as Adam Savage and Erik Beck from BFX. I am currently working on a hellboy cosplay build and will be posting updates with the costume. Glad to be apart of this community =).
 
Howdy not a new member really but I stopped dropping by after the end of the Ron Moore galactica series. Had the same handle but my profile had been nuked by then. Happy to be back ! I have been collecting props for over 25 years now. Prop collection is like a disease. Here is my madness of my Sci-Fi Den as you can see I have no theme because I pretty much like everything lol.

Hello Smugglers, Rebels, Imperials and others

I am Sebastian... i am 37 years old (damn, just a few more steps to become one of those dusty old dudes *gg*) and from Germany.

I am a huge Star Wars fan, started with the Vintage Figures when i was a kid, then "paused" it for a while, don t know why, after a Period i re-new my collection with Vintage Collection stuff .. in 2015 then i started with my first 1:1 Prop (a Biker Scout - still love to wear this).. a friend who helped me during the building process poisend me with the idea to start collecting 1/6 Figures as a "Revenge" that i poisend him to tart with 1:1 too ;-)

Today i have around 50 Figures and some 1:1 Props as well as Costumes (only Star Wars from EP IV-VI) and i am proud to be a member of the 501st Legion German Garrison.

I am in the middle of redesign my Livingroom, so when everything is finished i will post some pictures for you

Biker Scout
Snowtrooper
Tie Pilot
Tie Reserve Pilot
Sandtrooper (in the making)
Stormtrooper (coming next)

cheers
 
re: ** New Members: Please Introduce Yourselves Here! **

I am Brutus... otherwise known as Das Brutus. Don't let the "Das" fool you... I'm Scottish, not German.

I've been propping now for about a year. Having started on the 405th building my Spartan suit from paper to mold to casting it up out of Flex Foam-it and plastic.

Costumes:

Halo:
Recon / ODST / Reach Spartan
ODST

Star Wars:
Biker Scout (as of yet unfinished)
Manalorian Shadow Trooper
Royal Commando (as of yet unfinished)

Future Builds:
Predator
Gears of War
WarHammer 40k Space Marine
Cletus, the NFL Robot

Being a larger built person, I try to choose costumes that will not look to "chub-chub" when worn, so my options are limited since I seem to always look like a football player in armor.

Well, thats me... 'nuff said

Hey man, where in Scotland are you? I'm near Stirling.
 
Wow i'm introducing myself on page 666! Love it!! Hey guys, i'm Dan!
I'm just an average guy who LOVES medieval stuff, and am currently working my #$# off to pursue a career in aviation. Excited to get started making some Gjermundbus! Cheers!
 
Hello everyone.

I'm getting back into modeling after many years of absence. Figured it was time to stop watching everyone else and start making again!

Might even get courageous and post a project... once I get a little practice in. I am humbled by the amazing things I see in all your posts.
 
Hey everyone! I've had an account for years but never posted an introduction.

A little about myself: I joined the old predator costuming forum, The Hunter's Lair back in 2002 or 2003 in my early teens. I dabbled in making some predator armor stuff but never got around to doing my own suit or props.

I joined the RPF back when The Martian was close to release because in my furious googling to look at the suit designs, I came across the wonderful thread here! I posted a few things there but nothing too contributing.

I have two degrees - one in filmmaking (Direction/Production) and one in Arts and Science. I studied Astrophysics for a bit (both self taught and with a professor in college, also studied a *tiny* bit of geology) and wrote a few scientific-style papers. I replicated Stanford University's "Hedgehog" rover that I intended to make a short film with - but never got there. I got to Skype chat with one of the lead engineers of the project (who now works at JPL!) which was really cool.

I compose music for short films and indie games, and I won my first award earlier this year.

I pretended to play Airsoft for a little bit but came to the realization that I liked collecting the gear and making costumes more than I actually liked playing.

My full time job is a management position at a movie theater, and making music is my biggest hobby.

I don't often make props or costumes anymore (aside from the military stuff and the occasional Halloween costume) but I love checking the forums out and looking at everyone's amazing artistry.

Thanks!
 
Hi comrades,

I dabble in a lot of disciplines and master non. Looking to pick up new skills and help others how I can. Right now I am looking to learn more about mold making and resin casting.

Hello there, my name is Alex and I’m from Arizona. So far I only have a Fett style helmet I’m working on when I can. Not sure what else to say.
