Hi, I've been lurking a bit and it seems there are more active LOTR customizers here than anywhere else I've visited. I'm new to customizing but have finally finished designing my first decals and custom piece (for Gil-Galad and Cirdan). I'm stuck at the printing stage now but am trying my hand at a bit of sculpting and hopefully molding and casting while I look for answers on printing. Sadly, many of the forums with fantastic how-tos seem to be ghost towns now and I hope to find here a thriving community that I can learn from and share my projects with.

Cheers,

Str0ngbad

Welcome Strongbad!

Glad to have you step out from the shadows and join us at BF!
Yes, many of us are LoTR fans, and more. The folks here are amazing and very helpful. Ask what you will, glean what you can, create and then share with us on your journey.

Like MC said, there's definitely some friendly people here that will do their best to help you with whatever you need. Have a good stay

Hey there man, come on in, take off your boots and stay a while. Check out the 52nd meaningless thread for some casual discussion. For ideas for customizing pieces, there's no better place than the chop shop or the Artisan Gallery.

Welcome to the forums. Sadly, forums seem to have been decreasing in usage and other social medias are taking over like Flickr and FB. Hopefully you'll be able to find some answers here. We'd love to see what you can come up with in decals, sculpting, and other ventures you undertake.
