Evilboy's Used Future Workshop: Props and Costume/ Cosplay Accessories

F11-D Kits - First Run Pre-orders

For those who were part of the Evilboy/THG initial run and got refunded while we rebuild the master, the listing is now up for all the first run people.

https://www.etsy.com/listing/277974968/f11-d-kits-first-run-pre-orders

The molds are curing and just need to get a few more orders so I can order the unbreakable rubber. You can see in the listing the hollow points such as the light bezel, counter, magazine, and receiver.


Due to popular demand from PMs and IMs, screws and grips will be left off the master so real ones could be added. The only screws that will be molded are the ones at the end of the barrel that the standard E-11 also have.

Continuum: The Final Season

Hey all, make sure to check out my new review on the beginning of the end of Continuum The Series!

http://popcultureuncovered.com/2015/09/15/continuum-the-final-season/

Continuum: The Final Season How does one say goodbye to a cherished television program that one has enjoyed? How does an actor say farewell to a character they have come to a habit over the course of a number of years? We are...

As much as it pains me to do this, I need to sell my brand new, unused, untrimmed, WTF. .walt's trooper factory Shadowtrooper Armor, complete with what is believe to be the first ever Gino Shadowtrooper helmet kit, from the molds acquired by Walt.
I am just too broad across the shoulders and a touch too heavy to make this beautiful suit work and had to go with the New AM suit, which is equally amazing and fits bigger guys like me.
PM me for more info and to talk shipping. If you want it and are attending Dragon Con, I can bring it with me and save you shipping...

Some info:

We all know how hot it gets under our buckets, and those of us who were at Wolf Trap in Vienna, VA on July 7th, 2012 REALLY know. It was only the day of the HOTTEST TEMPERATURES EVER RECORDED in the Washington D.C. area! The only thing that kept me (relatively) comfortable and sane was my home made fan kit. I showed it to the Troopers there and received a lot of interest in my simple but effective design. I have already made a couple for other costumers, including one of the other Troopers at that Wolf Trap troop, and they have given me really positive feedback. So I have decided that I have something to offer that would be a benefit to all my friends who bake in their Buckets.

My kit includes:
2 (Two) high air output "Squirrel" fans
Enclosed 4AA Battery Case* with integral on/off switch
Velcro brand hook and loop, adhesive backed

All wiring is heat shrunk (black) to protect all wire connections from moisture so no shorting out! Won't unravel like electric tape. I may offer other colors of heat
shrink in the future (white, red etc.), if there is enough demand, but for now it is black only.

I had this kit in my buckets for two days at CVI on one set of batteries (about nine hours total) with no loss of fan speed/ air pressure.

I did nine hours straight (yeah, I know, glutton for punishment...) at Baltimore Comic-Con with one set of batteries. These things work GREAT!

I recommend the use of industrial Velcro strips (Included) for attaching the unit inside your helmet. The average length of the wires is 6" from the box to the split, and 12" from the split to the fans, so there is no limit to where you can place these fans in your bucket, depending on head size and bucket type.

I can also do longer custom lengths of wires, for putting the battery case in your armor or costume, for a small additional charge, on a case by case basis.

Natali: UberDork Cafe

I am reaching out to ALL my friends in Geekery to help a Geek business give back to those that need it.

There is a program called Kiva Zip Loans that offers 0% loans to small businesses in the U.S., where the Lenders get 100% of their investment back (unlike Kickstarter and other crowdfunding sites), and my friend Natali Heuss is exactly the kind of business that these were envisioned for.
She owns UberDorkCafe in Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin, and it is exactly what it sounds like: an awesome cafe for Geeks, Gamers, Nerds, Dorks, Kids, and anyone who is creative, curious, individual and likes to have fun. It is also her lifelong dream.

Her goal is to get a loan of $5,000 to help her to obtain 501c3 status and the tools she needs to operate a non-profit that will help those that need it most to have access to STEM programs. She is half way there already, so let's get her over the top!

She has had a rough go of it in the recent past due to some issues with some crappy neighbors and landlord issues and all she wants is to help encourage young geeks.

I am not asking you to just contribute blindly, only to read the overview on her Kiva Zip Loan page and see if you have it in your heart to contribute. Even small amounts will help. So please contribute if you can, and share this either way, especially with your geek friends!!

From the Loan Page business overview:

"Business Description

UberDork Cafe combines a cafe, gaming center, and a classroom all in one place to provide a space to eat, drink, play, game, create, learn & gather. It is a place that supports and encourages play, learning, and creative geeky goodness. A cafe. A game room. A classroom. A party room. A community.
We offer the same perks that the big chain coffee shops do (free WiFi with purchase, a place to sit and meet, etc) but with so much more. Our free reading library is huge and covers toddlers on up to adults. Our gaming library is just as diverse. We’ve got a 60″ flat screen for gaming or watching Netflix. We have classes for all ages and skills in art and science. It is your office away from home, where your kids can safely hang out after school, a place to throw a party. It is truly a place to connect with friends, family, your inner child.

Financially Assisting Future Geeks is one of my favorite components of the mission behind UberDork Café, helping to foster our future. Each year, UberDork Café will offer three scholarships. They may not be huge at first, but they will grow. The basic criteria to qualify for these scholarships are simple. 1) The student needs to be attending an under-funded or struggling high school. 2) The student must be going on to pursue further schooling in: Video Game Design/Development, Science, or something geeky.

I want to support those that are often under-supported. Those that often slip through the cracks. Those that need someone to look them in the eye and say “I believe in you.” Statistically, under-served youth that want to pursue geeky careers tend fall into those categories.

The UberDork Cafe is 2,000 square feet of possibilities."

Click here to support Ron's Prop Business Relocation by Ron Kieser

My friend, and associate, prop maker Ron from THG Props, it Is a talented and reliable maker, a creative mind, and a really good guy. He is on partial disability from a severe head injury he received years ago and cannot get a conventional job so his prop making is his sole form of income. His unbreakable E-11 and Scout Blasters are second to none, and he has done an amazing job with Stargate, Supernatural props and assorted helmets as well, just to scratch the surface.

Due to a major life change he could use some help right now getting himself reestablished with a place to do the work that is so vital to his continued survival. If you like to support small, independent, makers, please consider donating a couple dollars, or even the contacting him to order some props, to help him get set up so that he can continue to do something that he absolutely loves, And absolutely needs.

"Hi everyone, this is Ron.

Due to major life changes THG is going to be operated entirely by myself as soon as I am able to build a new shop and move everything to the new location.

Until the new setup can be built Kim will continue taking care of props as we have been doing. I expect to really see no change in projects, everything is still set to go as planned, and there will be new projects coming in the future!

Due to the nature of the event and the costs I am calling out to anyone who may be able to aid in the new shop. This is to help cover the costs for building a new shop along with equipment for it, as well as the cost of moving all of the THG molds, masters, and materials across the state.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated, and will not be forgotten."
