Hello I'm Gareth. Not a lurker only discovered TheRPF today via some youtube videos of Adam Savage where he talked about it...a lot. So I googled and signed up.
I'm a big fan of sci-fi in general and I love to build stuff and dress up. One of the myriad reasons I do amateur theatre is that it lets me do both! So I'm thinking about going to my first ComiCon in October in London and my friend and I are thinking of going as The Governor and Rick Grimes (not original I know, but I already have a lot of gear that I can easily convert to a Rick Grimes season 1 costume!)
So far the only things I have made are both originals not replicas. I have designed and built a sonic screwdriver for a Whovian friend of mine and I built a Lighstaber hilt for my brother. I plan to finese the screwdriver design to include a TV-B gone signal and I plan to build my own lightsaber hilt too, but with a detachable fighting blade.
Also from reading through a few of these posts it seems that I may finally get myself motivated enough to try and tackle and IronMan suit and a Rocketer Helmet, Rocketpack and costume some day.
But for now I'll keep it simple with trying to build a basket weave holster, and put basket weave markings onto a HD belt I have found.
