[Annisa11]

cool! can't wait to meet you guys! just a question are y'all local? Just curious if we have more DFW members I didn't know about.

Na we are local to the austin area

Yes! An ask was props and helmets and such to display. I am waiting on dimensions for the shelves we will have there. Will follow up on this hopefully by end of the week

Any updates on the shelves? I’m almost done printing off the raw marine helmet to display and I also have a couple of other props to display aswell

No updates to give at this time. I am assuming with the event being imminent we just need to plan the best we can for whatever we may have

With this being our first event with HCS in official capacity I would at least as a minimum ask for anything planned for display be fully finished and photos provided to me if necessary to review. I want a high standard of our work being shown with the implications this opportunity will buy us into other in the near future.

Cool I was thinking of displaying a raw marine helmet print just to show how much work we actually put into our props and armor I was also wondering if we were going to schedule a time to all go visit the venue before actually setting anything up. I just remember you saying that optic said it’s okay to go get a lay of the land the week before and if we are going to plan to go at the same time or individually or what exactly is going on with that.

I'd advise against any raw prints or anything for this event as again, I wanna make sure everything we showcase is of the highest finish quality we can show.

And as for getting a lay of the land at the venue and setting up the booth? Is there a time set for that? I’d like to know so then I know exactly how much time I have this coming week to finish my suit

They said you can go by there anytime to do so. I was not given specifics.

I was asking if we were all going to go together at one time or if we all go check by ourselves sorry if I worded it weirdly.

So is the event happening at the same time all three days? Also unfortunately some stuff came up for my step dad and he’ll only really be there Saturday but I’ll be there all 3 days

The schedule for the event is on the website for each day but I'd recommend we are on site 30/45 minutes before doors open each day.

 

[NobleofDeath16]

Also, folks, plan to have some props available you are okay with people holding that we can place in our turtle racks. Nerf and Boomco suggested as always.

Also as a general reminder here are some of the guidelines to follow this weekend:

1. Please be respectful to all the event goers and staff! Be respectful to everyone that approaches you and make a good impression.
2. DO NOT AIM WEAPONS AT ANYONE! If someone asks for a photo asking for you to aim your weapon at them kindly tell them we are discouraged from doing that.
3. No T Bagging! Be professional

While we are primarily here to help the event, we will still get the occasional request to lean more about how we build our armor. If they do, keep the following in mind:

1. If people are interested in signing up for the 405th be sure to point them to the forums first! Don’t advocate the discord until later!! If they as if we have an Instagram we do it’s 405thinfantry
2. If people ask where they can buy something on display or being carried, direct them instead that the forum is free to join and has files, templates, guides, tutorials, and a community that is here to help them make their own stuff.
