[Strigis Nox]

First Name: Matt

Profession?: Mould & Automation Designer for a Precast Concrete Company

Age: 40

Favorite Hobby: Warhammer 40k & Costuming

Favorite part of Halo: The armors, I've always wanted to make a Spartan

Favorite Halo: Definitely Reach, my buddy and I got really into it and Halo 4, but Reach remains the creme de la creme of the franchise in my opinion.

Favorite Video Game: That's a tough call between Titanfall 2 and the Darksiders games, both have really great storylines and very cool mythology built into them.

Other Interests: I play warhammer 40k quite a bit and enjoy making costumes along with my partner and kids.

Favorite Food: Tacos, Chinese, Sushi or Burgers; a broad net, I get it, but they're so neck and neck I can't decide.

Favorite Band: I've been a big fan of Soil, In Flames, Chevelle, and other hard rock for a long time, but when I work I always toss on video game soundtracks, they help me focus more than music with words.

Favorite Movie(s): Blade Runner, Middle Earth (all 6), Dune; but I enjoy most good thinking person sci-fi/fantasy. If it has a good story, I'll likely watch it.

What do you hope to learn here?: There are some cosume parts I've never made before, so I'm looking forward to reading about how others have done them so as to advance my knowledge while doing a few Mjolnir suits.

Have you built/made a costume before?: I've built and/or still have... Titanfall 2 Vanguard Pilot, Witch King of Angmar, Kylo Ren (TFA), Jedi Temple Guard, Northern Wastes Judge (Dredd universe), Edward Kenway AC Black Flag, Jacob Frye AC Syndicate, Corvo Attano Dishonored 2. I currently have a 2nd Titanfall Pilot in the works as well as Caustic from Apex Legends, a Fremen from Dune and some upgrades/repairs to existing costumes. I'd like to one day also make an Astartes for myself, I've made one for another person in the past.

Do you belong to any other costume communities? If so, which one(s)?: I'm a member in good standing of the 501st and the Rebel Legion as well as the Judge Dredd costuming group. I understand the former has a bad connotation to some people, and rightly so; as there can be people in any organization that take things too far.

Other: I'm a godparent to a 6 month old boy whom I call "The Chief"; his dad and I have been friends for a long time and have played lots of Halo games together. I joined up here, unbeknownst to him in order to build three sets of Mjolnir armor, two adult and one child for when the Chief is able to wear it himself.

[Snipermann02]

First Name: Thomas

Profession? Student?: I just work in a Deli for now, but I plan on pursuing something in the IT or Firearms industry. Still deciding lol. I have taken a few online classes for IT work so far.

Age: 20 (Sept. 26).
