[Deathcon]

Hey, My name is Jordan and I am currently (at the time of this writing) a year 12 student and a jewellery designer and maker. I love to fly both real and remote control planes, making jewellery and making replica armor from games. Before i came here, i had little knowledge of the crafting of replica armor from games and movies, the only full scale replica i have made is a Madolorian deathwatch armor from Star Wars. It was a pretty poor build, it wasn't hardened with resin or anything, it was just the base pep and then painted with wood glue and then painted. i wish i still had pictures of it to show you. I would love to use this Forum to the max advantage and learn all about the tools of the trade in building full scale, wearable, replica armor. I have been reading the build threads of a few members here (mainly the guys from Impact props who lead me here so i have to thank them) and would like to put what i have learnt so far to the test.

To all my fellow recruits, good luck and game on, this is a competition, but a good one, a competition where we can all help each other to get better at the craft we love.

Jordan AKA Deathcon

p.s. I am a Mac user, if anyone has a few tips on how i can still view Pepakura files without having to go through the trouble of buying a PC (dont have the money for it ), if anyone has a few tips and tricks on what i can do to get around or over this little hurdle it would be great.
