You mentioned wanting to make an ODST set, any specific sets you’re after? Custom? Have you checked the armory for print files?

Not yet, I'm still working up the courage (and funding) before I really tackle planning, though I know I definitely want an SMG to accompany it so I'll be snooping around for files eventually.

[Carethfanura]

First Name: Travis D.
Profession?: Senior Quality Assurance Technician, PMP, MBA, Custom Software Developer (Freelance), Xbox Game Developer (Self)
Age: 37
Favorite Hobby: Hard to say, it depends on the mood. I enjoy painting miniatures (Battletech) along with playing a variety of Boardgames. Also, into video game development, woodworking and needle point.

Favorite part of Halo: I mostly play the Campaign modes and enjoy the interwoven stories.

Favorite Halo: Halo 1, have to stick to the classic

Favorite Video Game: Halo and Final Fantasy Franchises.

Other Interests: Woodworking, Electronic Engineering, Robotics, Video Game Design, Board Games

Favorite Food: Poutine! 100%

Favorite Band: Mozart. BAHAHA

Favorite Movie(s): I enjoy the Halo movie and show, Star Wars, Star Trek, Star Gate, Grown Ups and Goon.

What do you hope to learn here?: Working with the community for community outings, Charity events, developing and building my Spartan outfit and getting it finally completed.

Have you built/made a costume before?: No, started my build 10 years ago and just got the motivation to get it done.

Do you belong to any other costume communities? If so, which one(s)?: No

Other: I've known and followed the 405th for over 10 years and just recently joined full force. I was always self-conscious of my work and build and the amount of time I could commit having 6 kids at home. This has been a passion project for nearly 13 years to build slowly. I have a vision in mind of where I want my final build to look like, which includes fully embedded forearm communication panel, HUD and lighting systems, along with the ability to do a 3d virtual Cortana display (either virtual with AR via the HUD or something that can appear in the palm of the hand) and spent a lot of years studying what and how others have done it. I finally feel confidently enough to start posting and my work and proceeding forward.

Thanks MarineSniper
I'm just checking the rules and trying to figure out if/where I'm supposed to create a thread on my build progress?
I have an old Papercraft build was going to show and am currently in progress of 3D printing one.

[SerafinasStorm]

First Name: Kira. I go by Serafina at cons.

Profession: Starbucks supervisor

Student: Psychology, hoping to become a therapist one day

Age: 25

Favorite Hobby: Trading Card Games, particularly Pokemon and Digimon. I play a lot more than just those though. This is followed closely by cosplay and other craftwork.

Favorite part of Halo: The designs, particularly the armor. The campaigns are second.

Favorite Halo: Halo 3: ODST and Halo: Reach. I love both their campaigns and the designs they introduced me to.

Favorite Video Game: Nier: Automata. Finished my first full playthrough for the first time a few days ago, and it already feels like a part of my whole life.

Favorite Food: Shrimp fried rice.

Favorite Band: This tends to shift, but I never get tired of Muse, Rise Against, and Kerrie Roberts.

Favorite Movie(s): No clue! A Quiet Place is up there, though.

What do you hope to learn here?: I want to build myself and my partner Mjolnir armor, then join the charity work you guys do. The more people whose lives I can affect, the better, as I see it.

Have you built/made a costume before?: My first heavily worked-on cosplay was Lucy/Kaede from Elfen Lied, followed by Rogue from the X-Men, which you can see in my icon! I have a lot more on the way, though.

Do you belong to any other costume communities? If so, which one(s)?: Not yet. If things go well, I might join others as well.

Other: I actually found out about the 405th, the 501st, and other cosplay groups by reading Cosplay: A History, by Andrew Liptak. The charity work touched me, so I decided I had to step it up and learn more. I'm already glad I did.
