FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions!

 

Is this the same seller "RocketLab 3D" off Etsy?

Correct! While Etsy is a great platform to be seen, they impose high fees on transactions which I then was forced to transfer to my products. By creating my own site I can now offer the same items at discounted rates, and custom curate my site to make it easier to order and keep in touch on commissions. 

Why are there so fewer listings here compared to your Etsy shop?

At this time I am looking to streamline my inventory and reduce backlog of orders, I will always accept custom commissions if time allows, so while everything is technically available, I will be looking to specialize in getting everything finished and looking as good as their product photos. I am always trying new materials and methods as well, so while my product listings may be short, rest assured they may be hard to find anywhere else.

What does "made to order" mean?

When a product is not currently in stock and ready to ship, it is made to order, meaning that when you place an order, it will then start getting made. Some of the benefits to this include custom sizing or colors if you're looking to switch certain things up. In some cases made to order items can ship well ahead of their estimated turnaround time.

I do not see my country listed as a shipping option, can you make an exception?

We are based in Southern California, USA.

Please contact me if you do not see your country as an option. I may be able to add it. Keep in mind that international deliveries are subject to long delays either from customs or just general delays through transit. I may not be able to fulfill orders to certain countries because of previous experience with long delays and increased risk of damage to orders. Currently Canada and UK are among accepted international destinations. 

Do you offer expedited options?

If you require something quicker than the estimated turnaround time, please message me prior to ordering so that I can work with your delivery date. The turnaround times are estimates and can be subject to unexpected delays, if you opt to have something expedited I can provide more priority attention to your order (dependent on current work orders). In most cases I can offer something that works with your time frame. 

What happens if something arrives damaged?

Unfortunately, packages can get thrown around, no matter which carrier is chosen. Not to worry, replacements are always offered free of charge, in most scenarios I do not require the original item sent back (if the original item does need to be sent back a prepaid shipping label is provided). The only thing you should do in the event of a broken item upon delivery, immediately take some close up photos of the damage and within 48 hours of delivery contact me either through the contact form or directly at Rocketlabfx@gmail.com, be sure to include your shipping and order info if possible so I can quickly assist you. The photos are required to verify that damage has occurred and to be noted on the order.

I don't see an item that I'd like to order, can I still order it?

You may contact me for a commission if you do not see something listed. At this time priority for batch runs goes towards the featured props which can change every so often based on popularity. However, custom commission slots are frequently available so feel free to reach out and I can provide a quote and estimated turnaround time for you.

Do you have discount codes or sales?

The best place to check out any discounted offerings or sales is to follow my Instagram @RocketlabCosplayProps

There you will see giveaway offerings, discount codes and sale announcements applicable to the site here.

I sell 3D prints, can I use your STL files?

If you purchase an STL file from here, you are welcome to sell finished and raw prints. You are not allowed to sell the STL file or any modifications of the STL files, only physical prints. I also ask that you credit my shop as creator of the file, otherwise you are free to sell finished prints for profit using the STL. 

I'm a cosplayer/influencer with a large following, are you open to collaborations?

Please contact me, I am always open to collaborations given that it will be mutually beneficial for both parties. Largely dependent on my availability as priority is always for open orders and paid commissions. 

 

 

Check out these previous builds and commissions

Some of these props occassionally will make their way into the featured props section and be available to order. If you ever see something here that you don't see currently for sale, feel free to contact and I can try and arrange a custom commission if there are slots available.

Jar Jar On Set Helmet

For die hard Jar Jar Binks fans, this custom commission is inspired by the Behind the Scenes footage featuring the stand in for Jar Jar Binks (Ahmed Best who appears in an episode of The Mandalorian). This piece is meant to mimic the prop helmet worn during production of The Phantom Menace which basically featured Jar Jar Bink's head glued on top of a bicycle helmet.

This model was featured on Patreon by PewPewCrafts and can be found on Etsy by the same channel name for purchase of the STL

Green Ranger Helmet

If this helmet brings back childhood memories, you had a good one. From The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, this is the Green Ranger Helmet. This was a dream helmet of mine to own one day, and while there are hundreds of different greens, you can't really go wrong when it comes to painting. This is a full PLA build (apart from the single red jewel and mouth piece done in resin) that was completely painted with rattle cans from Home Depot. Grass Green and some Rustoleom chrome paint for the mouth.

This build features a removeable back plate to create a tight looking fit around the neck area with plenty of headroom inside for additional padding. One of the better fully enclosed helmets that allows full visibility as opposed to something like a Mando helmet.

Yondu Fin

Inspired by Guardians of the Galaxy. Stand was custom created by RocketLap Props, Fin was fully resin printed and finished with Duplicolor paints and clear coat. This piece is meant purely for display purposes as there are no practical methods as of yet to make it wearable (some day in the future I expect to offer a wearable version).

This Yondu Fin model was created by Vek3D, you can find his models for sale on WF3D.shop and check out his work on Instagram.

The Armorer

Inspired by The Armorer character from The Mandalorian. The main dome of this piece was printed in PLA, the horns were resin printed. The main base coat of paint for this was done using Alumaluster chrome paint, which is the same used for production helmets on the show. Weathering and clear coating on this was complimented by the natural textures of the model.

Once again this model comes from designer Vek3D, and you can find his models on WF3D.shop

The Wasp Helmet

The Wasp Helmet, this version is inspired by the 3rd film of the series, Antman Quantumania. Unfortunately you don't get to see much action or closeups with these helmets as they tend to get taken off every chance they get. This model is a mix of PLA and resin prints, with the main dome piece in PLA and the entire face and side pieces done in resin.

Chrome for this piece was Duralumen Tuff from The digital Armory, you can purchase their chrome paint through Etsy and I highly recommend it.

The model for this piece was acquired from Do3D.com

WandaVision Halloween Crown

Title pretty much says it all. This is the Halloween version of the Wanda Crown as featured in WandaVision. Fully resin printed and pained in a "Colonial Red" with a 1K gloss finish. Crown sits relatively light, comparable to the Multiverse WandaCrown in terms of weight.

This is a custom model by RocketLabProps and the STL is available for purchase.

Ant-Man 3 Helmet

Probably one of the cooler looking helmet builds from last year, this is the helmet inspired by Ant-Man Quantumania. Just like the Wasp Helmet, closeups are too few and quick in the movie, so it's nice to have a real physical helmet to stare at.

As with most full size helmet builds this is done with the dome in PLA and face printed in resin. One of the main benefits to mixing resin and PLA is to manage the overall weight of the helmet as well as material cost, which benefits the buyer as well.

Finished using Duralumen Tuff chrome paint. The model was done by Yosh Studios and can be purchased through Etsy if you're looking for a nice Ant-Man model of your own.

MoonKnight

MoonKnight shell face mask. This piece is offered in 2 options, fully resin printed or PLA with resin printed eye pieces. The benefits to the PLA version is a much lighter mask that is more suitable for cosplay wear (for long durations). The fully resin printed version has the best preserved details of the bandages, however putting a resin printed version and PLA printed version side by side, it's hard to notice the difference. LED lights are included with this piece when its offered for sale.

This model was made by JoeProps3D, and his work can also be purchased from WF3D.shop
