I'm currently a division director for a remediation company and travel the globe cleaning up radioactive and toxic sites.

I've got an ex-girlfriend whose pretty toxic. Sounds like a perfect fit! (Ha ha. Funny, Sean.)

For serious, I am *STOKED!* to see what you come up with! It's going to be amazing! Welcome aboard!

I had a few of those myself....and I'll stop there! Hah!

I've spent the last several hours just reading through all the cool info here. I'm looking forward to learning and sharing. My current project is Noble 6, starting with a helmet. I'll be sure and take lots of pics and write it up well so others can follow my train of thought on sheet metal forming. I'm also doing a functioning version of the MA-40 AR for the upcoming Infinite....or a best guess at how it's going to look based on the trailers. Semi-auto, fully legal version in 6.5 Grendel. I won't put much of that up here since it's not consistent with the site guidelines, though. If it ever quits raining here in Houston, I hope to really make some progress on the aluminum Noble 6 armor in the next few weeks.
 
Welcome to the 405th, i am suprised everyday at some of the things these guys and gals make. Now you are on board and i watched forged in fire 2018 that was a awesome showdown.... i cant wait to see some of the stuff you get into mind blown
Well, I *do* plan on straying from the game version and adding a nice damascus bayonet to my MA-40! :)
 
Wow, how did I not know about this site before!!?? So, a little about myself: I'm 51 yrs old, but I still act like a 20 yr old, so it averages out pretty well. I'm currently a division director for a remediation company and travel the globe cleaning up radioactive and toxic sites. As a hobby, I've been building functional medieval armour and weapons for 29 years. (Forged in Fire champion back in 2018) I've also been an amateur gunbuilder for 20 years. Add to that a love of science fiction and HALO, and you see where this is going. I also used to work as a machinist for a NASA contractor. I've recently started making some HALO armor and firearms for myself and my boys, working mostly in aluminum sheetmetal for the armor. Looks like i fond the right place to learn and share. I'm awful at the game, but I still love it....and I make cool stuff!

Name: Arthur Couture
Profession: Work for the Department of State as an Information Management Specialist. A US diplomat serving overseas.
Age: 43, getting old
Favorite Hobby: to many to list, but 3d printers, making Nerf guns with my son, costume making, nerd stuff, etc...
Favorite part of halo: The story line is great, and you can really connect with Master Chief as a hero and doing his best to do the right thing at all cost.
Favorite Halo: Its hard, they are all great.
Favorite Video Game: Halo by far
Other Interests: I'm now into 3d printing, so trying to master that and be able to make my own stuff. My 12yr old son is also into Nerf, so that means I am too, only difference is I have $$$ and can buy better stuff and mod it heavily - yeah, I punish those kids when we all play, but I'm not as fast or nimble as I once was so I need every advantage I can get. Lol
Favorite Food: Pizza and bacon cheese burgers.
Favorite Movie(s): Spies like us, Cannonball Run, etc... - movies most of you probably never heard of but would laugh your butts off if you watched them (my kids did).
 
I haven't been very active on here but I might as well make a short introduction post :)

Name: David (Some people call me Davey)
Profession: Full time student (I'd like to join the NZ Airforce one day though)
Hobbies: Playing video games, drawing, prop making
Favourite video games: Pretty much any Halo game (although Halo 2, 3, and Reach are my favourites), Slime Rancher, Minecraft, and Destiny 2, to name a few
Other: I'm not the best at keeping a conversation going but I try my best :')

I'm also a complete newbie to prop making, and I'm working on my first set of foam armour at the moment (Mjolnir Mk VI). I started earlier in the year and then took a break for a few months.. whoops. I started working on it again just recently though, so hopefully I'll get it done before the end of October.

Awesome thanks, I do need help getting a printable ODST combat armor template that I can print and build, I don't have access to the styrofoam stuff everyone uses nor afford to buy premade stuff, the files I can find are in pdo file and I have no way to use it to print and build. Another thing is a UNSC Admiral uniform as well. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
i can down load it and convert it to pdf if that would help you. i will see what i can find on the admirals uniform. i need to know how tall you are and some other stuff i will send you a message...

I learned about Halo around 3 years ago, my first console was a Wii U, but in 2016 my dad got me an Xbox 1s for Christmas. One day I was looking for games and found a copy of Halo 4 for $2 at a local game store and as a kid with little cash and knowing a little about this game decided to buy it, along with a copy of halo 3 for real cheap. I started 3 but got bored because it was too hard for the brain to understand the amazing controls so I played Halo 4 instead and fell in love with it and thought it was the best game ever (but not for long)! I wanted more of this so played Halo 3 and saw how amazing it was, then I started CE with a friend but he didn't make it fun so I jumped to Reach and that was amazing as well. Soon I wanted to play 2 and bought MCC but didn't finish it. I messed around with those games for a few years until I finally got an Og Xbox and completed Halo 2 and it was the best Halo experience I have had, soon I also beet ODST and finally finished CE with a different friend. I have tried time and time again but it seems hopeless to be 5 so I skipped it. I started playing a lot of the multiplayer on MCC and love it so much and recently started 5s online and it is really fun.

Halo means a lot to me, when down or bored I can play some Halo and always have fun with it. I love the story, fighting, controls, characters, and well every game has something for all of us.

I joined because well I love Halo and I want to make my own ODST armor, I know little to nothing about doing this except I want to use foam and no helmet to start. I want to make a basic set and then add some custom things to make it my own armor. I am looking for help on where to start and what to do and how to do it. Any advice is good advice for where I am. I am really excited to be apart of this community and want to share my love for Halo as you all do the same!
