First Name: William
Profession: Student / Freelance Photographer
Age: 16
Favorite Hobby: photography
Favorite part of Halo: Personally, I love the community, the books too.
Favorite Halo: I (unfortunately) grew up in 343 era halo. But Reach was one of the greatest imo.
Favorite Video Game: Halo Reach or Minecraft
Other Interests: reading
Favorite Food: Anything really, I’ll try new things.
Favorite Band: Gotta go with Rush, or Red Hot Chili Peppers.
Favorite Movie(s): Star Wars, Interstellar
What do you hope to learn here?: I plan on creating my first full spartan build from my reach spartan before Halloween of 2024. I (most likely) will make it out of foam, as I do not have any reliable access to a 3D printer. (If you got any tips, especially with ODST Helmets from reach in foam please dm me)
Other: *I’m a minor keep that in mind.* otherwise, I’m a pretty sociable dude.

Welcome to the 405th! There’s plenty of tips for foamwork in the tutorials section. Some quick things I’d recommend are: get the proper tools (heat gun, rotary tool, contact cement, and a respirator), keep your blade SHARP, and don’t be afraid to remake pieces. Glad to have you here, and good luck!
 
You know, we should add planetary region to this questionnaire so we can help our local new recruits
Also we can really start UNSC, ONI and stuff... or at least, an annual mondial gathering, where we all come in cosplay. It would be awesome IMO.
I know, it's difficult (if not almost impossible) because everyone has commitments, schedules and things to do that don't allow you to get together for a day or two, but it would actually be a wonderful idea.

Some of the bigger cons (like in America/Canada) a number of us will travel from around the world to. At a number of conventions, a 405th meetup is organised. So it's a lot easier to organise big 405th meetups at cons!
