For your Monday’s enjoyment, here is a short list of some more sites to augment your prop making skills:

• There’s a great tutorial on how to make a laser rifle from Fallout. In fact, the whole Volpin Props blog has a lot of superb build logs for a range of replica props.
• Decidedly less hip is this collection of tips and techniques for making Lord of the Rings costumes. Costumes, you ask? A lot of the tutorials are for costume crafts, which share a lot of methods and materials with props.
• Glass Attic has a stream-of-conscious information page about the various forms of polyester and epoxy resins. While there, check out the rest of the site for a whole polymer clay encyclopedia
