The "How to post pictures in threads (Video Tutorial)" does not work. Once in the thread, after clicking play on the video it says, "This is a private video." ??

simblarosh,

If you are still classified as a Member (less than 30 posts or less than 30 days active), then you are restricted to starting new threads in the New Recruits Forum; that error will appear if you try to start a new thread elsewhere.

Looks like you figured it out, but if you have questions, don't hesitate to ask around and read up on the FAQs. Welcome to the 405th!

My blog is about my halo laser tag project.
For sizing to suit you a formula to calculate how large the prop will be is (w÷214)h=e
w= The weapon/part size in centimetres
h= your height
e= the equivalent height/size
214= master chiefs hight in cm
All you need to know is the size of the part on master chief
