Started a forum topic: [Request] Playing card back

Hopefully this is in the right place. I thought about posting in Other Props, but I want to target the art crowd. I’m looking for a playing card back image that I cane use. I’m thinking of ordering some zener cards via ArtsCow, but I can’t find any public domain playing card backs. Would anyone her…

Started a forum topic: Need electronics help from someone (Arduino/AVR programming)

I’ve hit a big, annoying, and troublesome snag while trying to get lights into my pack. I just picked up some AVR chips and a programmer to move my Arduino prototyped lights into my pack. The snag is that I’m unable to program them either with my Arduino (as an ISP) or the programmer itself. I pos…

Started a forum topic: Question to the board: Are we cosplayers?

This is a point of contention for me, and I wanted to see what other prop builders think. Are we (prop builders and costume people in general) cosplayers? I say no. A firm, emphatic no. Here’s why.

Started a forum topic: Question about gun lights

I’ve been having lots of fun with my new Arduino lately. I’m working on a light kit for my pack, and I’ve come across something unusual. I don’t recall many scenes where the bargraph lights are visible, so I’ve been looking at different builders’ videos. Unfortunately, everyone seems to have a diff…

Started a forum topic: Building second trap. What material should I use?

I’ve had my trap for some 5 years now.
