  • The Flood is coming…..
    I’ve got the plaster on. Time to let it dry and see if I can start adding texture. Biggest set back was weight, I want this flood infection form to still be able to hop around and the slightest weight difference can set it off track. Let’s see what I can do in the next few days to remove some of the weight

    Stilt reinforcement in progress! While I’m still working on the full tutorial for YouTube, here’s a look at how I’m reinforcing the structure. Six sturdy cardboard cylinders support the center, with foam lining to keep them upright and evenly spaced. This helps distribute weight more effectively while keeping the design lightweight. Stay tuned for the full breakdown!

    Super excited to say I’ve built stilts that give me an extra 1ft 4 inches of height! I’ll put together a future YouTube video showing how I reinforced them. Now it time to start make the start bulking up the costume before the armor goes on. Wish me luck!

    Stuck at home with the flu, so I figured I’d be productive… and wrote two versions of I’m Just Chief (a parody of I’m Just Ken) ! The idea is to use it for an upcoming con event—if nothing else, I hope it gives you all a laugh! Really hoping it gets the OK so we can put the video together and share it here once it’s done!
    I’ve got this idea of making a “popcorn flood” out of foam and those little Easter Peeps. I don’t think I can move on till I attempt to make it

    Everyone needs a break- just don’t let the Covenant know we’re here!

    Had an amazing night gaming at @Arcade92mckinney with the 405th Southwest Regiment—always great catching up with old friends and meeting new ones! Who knew we’d deploy this many drop pods packed with ODSTs and Spartans?!

Cosplayer and Prop Maker. Welcoming all those with an appreciation for Sci-Fi or DIY art projects! I'm just a simple guy trying to make his way in the galaxy.

About me
Hey Everyone, I’m Malachi!
Excited to introduce myself here! I’m a prop and costume maker who does this for fun—and maybe a little obsession. I was born in Hawaii, spent most of my life moving around the U.S., and eventually made my way to Dallas, Texas with my wife and our two crazy pups.

I stumbled into the 405th back at the Houston Discovery Outpost, completely unaware that a Halo build community even existed. Before that, I was literally using Halo Forge to get reference photos for my first build (rookie move, I know).

When I’m not covered in foam dust or paint, I’m:
• Building props & costumes for fun
• Touring Texas’ Top 50 BBQ joints (passport stamps & all!)
• Trying not to get wrecked in racquetball by my wife
• Expanding our ever-growing LEGO city
