California Halo Costuming Group

[Spartan 270]

damn, I've been gone awhile. Sorry. But hey, I'm back (again) and this time I'll check in often. Good news, I have 7 sets of ODST armor. Yes, 7.

and I have pictures that I'll take of us later this weekend. More so, I have a big surprise I've been working on that's now done. A working, Nerf turret. I'll show later.... now bad news, several things like to come in short waves that hit you hard, sometimes indirectly and others right in your face. I'm doing much better and I'm glad I haven't caught swine flu...yet. It's widespread except MA, and Vermont. So be happy, don't worry, and Hello, 405th.



Roodkill-



p.s, human flood costume is 60% finished.

Welcome back Roodkill. Can't wait to see those odst's! On a side note, alright, I've finally finished my scratch ODST for halo-ween. You can find more pics in my thread here http://405th.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=22287

about me: im a new member to the 405th starting out small but dreaming big and looking for others in this erea to work with, share ideas and of course do cool stuff in the armor we build.

 

[Roodkill]

Hey hey, welcome new members! Just wanted to say that the recent Halo Waypoint features

some of the members from the 405th and that I have yet to see any ODSTs....why???



Congratulations to those who made it, we should be seeing up dates with new members on

Halo WP as it progresses I hope.



In other news, I'm seeing a lot of San Diego members in our CA regiment. Are there

any takers for a possible fan movie?

( I have yet to see any footage from what I think is the 3 films that were being made? )



I have the material and the man power, just need extras and costuming.

who's in?



P.s I'll have flood images up in a little while, I've just been lazy.

 

[x117anubis]

if i can get enoughtime and can figyre out a place to stay then ill be there it sounds like fun.

 

[mroreo123]

Cool, you met Adam Sessler? Where was this?

 

[x117anubis]

comic-con 2009 my first year going and the best experiance of my life. he even inter viewed me for part of a costume montage.

 

[Bobo The PandaX]

Meh is no one near San Fran?

 

[bigolaf]

Meh is no one near San Fran?

Dan is near San Jose every once in a while, pertaining to his duties in the reserve, i believe. but, we can make the journey to spend time with other CA HCG people. see, the acronym is already being used....well, once, that is. but keep it going. it sounds more official that way.



Movie is being filmed in 2 weeks. armors are on a marathon completion schedule.

 

[Roodkill]

nice, so there is a movie idea that will be started at least?

All I've seen are "yes, soon, possibly, I don't know, that'd be cool"

and suddently it's off the face of the earth. I've got a group of 6 who'd

be willing to offer their armor for a film, but it's a matter of location first.

Mean time, I'm still lazy and haven't taken photos of the flood costume.

(friggin' A)

but I'll make time to do so soon.



Roodkill out-

 

[Bobo The PandaX]

Thanks for the info Olaf. You guys are so lucky to be in so cal.....perfect dirtbiking/airsoft weather, lots of dirtbike tracks and airsoft fields, store for those, Hollywood, guitar center(the ones down there are beast), and a pretty high member base down there.

I would love to be in the movie but I havent finished my costume and Im also working on a mongoose.

So PM when you are gonna start filming.

 

[mchammertime]

I haven't really read the last few pages, but if there's a movie going on I'm in.

 

[Sir Tsaboc]

Hey everyone, I'm new here, and I was directed here by one of the moderators to ask a question.



I live in California too, near San Mateo, and I was wondering what retailers sell aqua resin and heavyweight cardstock. I can't find it anywhere. Thanks for any help that can be offered.

 

[AmptheFrogGuy]

hey tsabo just like you i just joined after watching the indy mogul video. i found the cardstock at walmart for about 5 bucks, and ive been told Osh has the resin though i havnt finished pepping my helmet yet so i havnt picked any up.



and i live in the Bay Area btw.

 

[AlexSpartan177]

Good, We have new members.



First Welcome to the 405th



Guys I have some tips for you so you dont start posting question threads, because members are gonna bombard you with "read the stickies" quote.



First like I said read all the stickies they are packed with info. The stickies are normally the first threads and say sticky on the title xD



AND THE MOST IMPORTANT ONE.....



Have fun in your builds!!!!



If you need any help just hit me with a PM.

 

[mchammertime]

110 lb card - staples/office depot (walmart is rare, i know)

Resin - Lowes, Home Depot, OSH, etc. (same for bondo products btw). I usually try to make the trek out to walmart for that stuff, but you don't really need to.
