Hi there everyone! I'm new to propping and costuming and am really just beginning to explore the hobby.

Hello Group this is Alex Mack aka ASM1980 I am a avid reader of Comics and Manga. I am also a Actor/Comedian and Cosplayer. I thank you for allowing me into this fantastic community. I will be picking all of your brains and harvesting knowledge on my quest.

Phylazian · Dec 10, 2015

Hello to the community, my name is John and I am also very new to prop making. I have been trying to attend college for Game Design for a while now but financial matters keep coming up. I figured "since i have some 3d knowledge, why not put it to use?" so here I am. I am currently trying to build a business in the 3d modeling/printing field and a cosplay acquaintance of mine Ani-Mia suggested I check you guys out. I hope to be able to talk with many of you more and to be able to learn a lot.
Thanks for having me,
John

Hello PRF!

I'm located in Fresno California. I have always had a love for model making and I wish to expand my knowledge by utilizing this forum.

Hi!

My name is Gustavo, I'm from Mexico. I've been collecting some odd trinkets here and there. But I finally jump all in, trying to ensemble my first Han Solo complete costume in time for the Force Awakens. Been introduced to the forum via Tested and I hope to be able to contribute in the near future.

My future projects may include an Indiana Jones costume and probably I will dwell into props inspired by Destiny (the video game) trying to replicate my favorite loadout in game.

Best!

Hey there RPF folks.

i've known about this community for a while but never really took a crack at it until now. I run GiveWave Studios in downtown Lowell MA, which is in short a cosplay "maker space". I share my knowledge with the community at large by means of foam smithing classes on Saturdays and also allowing individuals to come work out of the studio space if they have larger than living room builds. I have a thing for villains so my personal cosplays consist of mostly that.

I do commission work full-time and my materials of choice are EVA & leather, although I do an absurd amount of 3D printing and laser cutting as well for client projects. I hope to learn as much from this community and share just as much + I'm always happy to help with small projects if anyone needs it ( really small, don't overdo it ^_^ ) anything beyond that we talk more about.

Cheers!

- Give

Phillygene · Dec 10, 2015

Hello All,
I've been lurking around for a few weeks and decided to jump into the party. I'm located in the Bay Area, California. I've had a push towards props from playing around with a 3d printer. I've enjoyed building things and doing sculptures but haven't gone too deep with it. I have a background in vfx and been looking to do more art outside the digital. I'm on a sabbatical of sorts from vfx to try some new things. Looking foreword in sharing and seeing around.

Graff Dethera · Dec 10, 2015

Hi!
I decided recently to get into cosplay and I really like the idea of making my own props. I guess I made my first prop at the age of 11 when I saw a rubber-band gun - basically a wooden gun-shaped form with a clothespin for a trigger - then went home and made one from scratch. I've puttered with a few things off and on since then.

I'm a huge Star Wars fan. I vividly recall sitting in a movie theatre in a small Southern town and just being blown away by the armour, blasters, lightsabers and other costumes. I also love the Stargate franchise. My best friend and I have been talking about the work the 501st Legion does and how nice it would be to combine my interest in props and costumes to do some good and make people happy.

I'd like to talk to some of you and pick your brains about a good intro project. Please let me know if you might be interested in to me. Thanks!

Hi There. I'm looking for accurate 3d print files or someone selling 3d printed parts for Reys staff. Ep7 anyone help me?? Merry Xmas.

Chris Cross · Dec 11, 2015

Hi RPF staff and users!
I am Chris from Germany and have been around here as a guest for a while, ever since I built my first (and only) costume (a Mass Effect suit).
I now want to complete it with the helmet because back then there were no foam files for it. When I found jfcustoms pdo I thought I could as well register here

I spend most of my crafting time modifying Nerf blasters, mostly as Larp props.

For the future, I am planning to look more into the worbla world.

Bronx8891 · Dec 11, 2015

Hi,
Just registered as i am interested in doing some pepakura builds. so hopefully ill find a good/easy project to start on. Any suggestions on where to start?

Asuka · Dec 11, 2015

Howdy!

The name's Nicole...long-time lurker, first-time poster. I live in Wisconsin while missing my home state of Illinois. I don't get to cosplay too much as I'm usually staffing any convention I go to, but recently I decided to build up my love for prop- and armor-making (since I currently can't sew to save my life).

I don't have that many custom builds yet, but I will be posting about my first major prop build shortly...the reverse bear trap from Saw. Currently I'm in the process of building PROJECT: Leona's armor from the game League of Legends.

Outside of all that, I'm a chemist by day, roller derby diva by night, gamer 24/7. I'm a reality show reject that gets to visit the occasional big con as a PlayStation Brand Ambassador (that is, if I'm not already working said con). I've got a bit of dry humor and a weird writing style to boot, so don't be surprise if my build threads act like their own mini stories.

That's it for now - take care!

Voss · Dec 12, 2015

Hi everyone! I'm Voss!

I do some low level costuming. Looking forward to getting some great inspiration from this site

Nuna · Dec 12, 2015

Hello, and thank you for the welcome...I stumbled onto this site looking for accessories for children's costumes, but I'm intrigued about the creativity and talent here. Thank you for the welcome.

GabbyLouGrenade · Dec 13, 2015

Hey everyone! New to the community and already loving the RPF. I make costumes and a small amount of props but have recently discovered a love for makeup and prosthetics and would love to make some creature builds. My most recent costume was Maleficent where I tried my hand at sculpting the horns and then casting them.

belldan · Dec 13, 2015

Found this forum while looking for stuff to upgrade my War Doctor costume before Wizard World Portland... Got some good ideas... Would post a picture of last year's iteration but can't figure out how....

ladyluck · Dec 13, 2015

Hello! My name is Madelaine. I was referred to therpf.com from a friend. I don't currently have any props. However, I love Marvel and DC, so anything prop related to their movies/shows would be just awesome. And I honestly like anything SciFi, also. Thanks for having me! *waves*

boeietoch · Dec 14, 2015

Hi!
My name is Nick from the netherlands,
and for the past years i've been teaching myself the art of 3d modeling.
About 4 years ago i started leather work and that is a real craftsmanship and from there i started to do a few game related items.
That's when i got excited about doing replicas from games, and i try to be as (game) accurate as possible so when possible i use game models themselves and clean them up. then convert them into high poly when needed.

A few samples of my work.
Assassins Creed:

Other bracelets:

My dog's collar:

Some renders from my 3d pieces:

And i just launched my 1st thread for this bad boy:

http://www.therpf.com/showthread.php?t=252038&highlight=Celestial+Nighthawk

Well i should post more often i guess i've been a sleeping member for over a year now:lol
I've seen some of the skills around here and i am really inspired by them so i'm glad to be a part of this community
