Stormrider
Well-Known Hunter
For those that don't know me, I am Stormrider. Founder of Iconic Props. And Sellbuddy. It says I am a well-known member on my profile so thats something right?
Anyway I have been making fett products for years. A few years ago I lost my wife to cancer and have been scarce with communication but still building props. Last year I created a life sized bumblebee costume (well 9 feet tall) and won awards and competitions all over the country. So I have been busy but not vocal.
I have received hundreds if not thousands of questions over the last year or two about how I make some of the things I make. From the molds to the sculpts to the final pulls.
I have decided that mass pulling props is no longer my thing. I enjoy the creation more than the mass production. I will be transitioning out of that area, but into another.
Over the last month, after shoulder surgery I have been setting up my shop with web cams and hardware for streaming. I will be doing streams (twitch) and then tutorials on youtube daily as I work on my next and last set of projects:
Iconic Props: Stormrider Signature Series.
These will only be available on TDH
I have an interest thread going in the cargo hold so please don't discuss sales or purchasing here. I intend to bring anyone that is not a TDH member to the TDH for the things I am making, as well as to be able to connect to other vendors.
I will be redoing each and every mold I have. I will be revealing the things that has allowed me to do my parts differently than everyone else. The way I make my molds, the products I use, the techniques I use to pull them. I am going to pass that information on to a very select few.... Up to 3.4 billion. I will put every mold, tutorials and stream up for everyone to see.
I would be remiss if I said I wasn't telling people with multiple purposes. I want everyone to know what I know. I want more people to make molds. And props. I want the other people already making props to make better props. I wan't the prices to more reasonable. And the only way to do that is to teach others. So at the stake of my 'empire', I am giving away all my secrets free. Free, but not for nothing in return. I am also trying to build a following on these streams to give me another avenue. So I am looking for people to get involved with my streams and video tutorials in return.
I have worked on a couple short test videos to make sure I have everything in place. I will be editing those test videos down into youtube short and long videos as they get completed.

Instagram has a lot of followers and pictures from our endeavors over the years.
I invite, and ask you please, follow and subscribe. Right now there are not any mold tutorials on youtube, only my shoulder rehab story, but those will start populating this weekend as I edit down the streams.
I will be live on twitch up to 4 nights a week. The idea is monday and wednesday I will be making my molds and parts for my signature series fett items. Talking through the changes. Challenges. Trying out new products answering live questions.
Tuesday and Thursday I will be doing my transformer build.
I will be going live other times throughout the week. If you subscribe you'll get notifications and you can follow along on your phones.
I will be giving away quite a few of the things I am working on. As well as offering discounts to followers and subscribers (twitch and youtube)
First Signature EE3 (rotj and esb)
Bumblebee Helmet
First Sling Gun (Prepro)
First sidearm
First holster
As well as other things. But I am only giving them away to subscribers.
I will also be offering up the molds and things to people I can trust to carry on the work of projects I have gotten too busy to maintain. As well as selling some of my masters. Those will only be offered to Dented Helmet Members. That isn't negotiable.
Thanks for reading (if anyone does),
Hope to see you on twitch and youtube.
