I am the Scifi Guy, I am from a small little town in Virginia, we have a stop light and that is about it. I have been making models only for about five years. I am 48 and married for 24 years. No kids to share my passion with. But I love Star Wars, Star Trek, Space 1999, Doctor WHO, Babylon 5 and am a massive Apollo history buff.

I hope this place does well, I already like it.

Hello everyone, I am creator of this forum, and operate the FalconFX Youtube channel. Also soon an online store that caters to makers, model makers and prop makers. I bit about me.

I have been building models since I was 10 years old. I gravitated towards more technical models, then into props about 15 years ago. I am a huge lover of making things. I do everything from Scifi to Military or Fantasy and more. I really love to help others, and hope everyone gets a lot from this web forum.

My plan is to be welcoming, give members a space to talk, share and sell. I am a lover of free speech, and I just ask to keep it civil. If anyone has any problems just drop me a PM here or an email at falconfxstudio@gmail.com and I will be happy to help as much as possible.

Cheers!

I am new to the idea of 3D printing but want to learn. What is the best printer to get if I want to make things, but also has a short learning curve. I have read there are ones called Bambu's? and Enders? But when I look there are so many kinds of machines, I am not sure where to go with them.

Also, is resin printing better and more simple? It seems to be. But again I know NOTHING AT ALL about 3D printing. Any help would be great.

Glad to see a new place to talk models and things Scifi. I am a huge lover of anything scifi and make a ton of models. I really want to one day make a big scale enterprise or maybe even a larger Millennium Falcon. 

I mainly make smaller stuff like 1/72 scale Star Wars, also figures. I know this place is new but if anyone else sees this what do you make?

So who in here is making a Home Depot R2-D2 better with modifications? I just completed one, added a front hologram and a back data port, filled the legs with foam for stability, added neck stabilizer, hose mounts, and a lot more.

THE BASIC RULES:

1. Please no threatening or harassing other members.
   
2. Please no nudity etc in any posts. This is for prop and model makers.
   
3. Please respect others, yes I love Star Wars, however people have a right to say they do not.
