Hey Joshua, welcome to the 405th!
We have a few people that make knives here (I'll link them below so you can have a look)
It also won't be hard to find 40k fans here (guilty of being one myself)
Ask any questions you may have and best of luck on your future projects!

Knife making continues.

Sorry guys, although my health is slowly and finally improving, I am still waiting on electronics for the Iron Man Suit project, not only parts from overseas, but my electronics guy has been pretty busy with real work so i'm kind of stalled for a while. Until then, I've been keeping busy with...

First Name: Calvin

Profession: Pad Printing

Age: 24

Favorite Hobby: Cosplaying is obviously my go to, but considering the fact I love writing, reading, drawing, D and D, and painting I’ll sum it all up in “Art”.

Favorite Part of Halo: Literally any level with the Arbiter in it. Master Chief is my boy, but the Arbiter is just amazing and such a unique character. He never gets enough screen time I tell you. The Lore is also bussin'

Faviorite Halo: Toss up between Halo 2 and 3, although Infinite’s game play introduces a grappling hook, which is phenomenal.

Other interests: I enjoy working out, and good long hikes. As I mentioned before I enjoy writing too!

Favorite Video Game: Starcraft. Maybe Hollow Knight.

Favorite Food: Pastas, Pizzas, and sandwiches!

Favorite Band: Anything Hans Zimmer makes is gold.

Favorite Movies: Bionicle 3, because deep down I’m a child, and Star wars Rogue One. It’s the one Disney Star wars movie done right, and whenever I break into the old trilogies things get harry.

What do you hope to learn here?:
I hope to learn about cosplaying here, and to see what other tricks people use. I’m not shabby at cosplay, but there’s always room for improvement. Not to mention, I’ve often found myself the ‘costume friend’ in my circles. Seriously no one cosplays where I’m at and it’s depressing.

Have you built as costume before?: I’ve cranked out a few good costumes in my time. See, I am a huge Star Wars nerd so I did a Mandalorian costume and SEVERAL clone costumes. Got a little tired of the repetition in that area, and wanted to challenge myself so I made a Halo costume, and silently probed the site as I put the darn thing together.

Do you belong to any other costuming communities?: Nope. I am a lone, lonely loner.

Hello, JTF4.
Thank you for the welcome, right now I'm working on the Masterchief's infinite armor. After that, I will make another set based on the armor I wear in multiplayer....(neon kitty)

Amazing! Once you get started on your builds feel free to make a build thread over in the new recruits section! That way folks can follow your build and see how it comes together!

I also can’t wait to see your multiplayer build!

Hey Bear!

Welcome the 405th!!

Monty Python is one of my all time favorites as well.

If you’re looking for maximum mobility, you may want to look into Eva foam. Its flexible and can move with you a bit easier than 3d printing.

But if you want to sacrifice a bit of mobility, 3D printing makes a fantastic looking set of armor.

Both methods have their benefits and drawbacks and we’ve got tons of resources for both.

If you need any help finding things around the forum, l’d like to help!
