Hey Sam!!

Welcome to the 405th!!

We’ve got tons of resources for 3d printing. Both of my sets of armor are actually 3d printed!

With this being your first halo build, I highly recommend starting a build thread in the new recruits section!

If you need help finding things around the forum I’d love to point you in the right direction.

[CozmiqVixen]

So i actually joined the forum and discord almost a year ago ^~^' Figure i should prolly do all the intro stuff finally :3

First Name: I go by Elle. But will gladly accept/respond to Vixen, Gremlin or Cozmiq

Profession: Chef/Lead Cook

Age: 32

Favorite Hobby: I have quite a few, ranging from auto-crossing to archery heheh. But main ones are Cosplay, video games an DnD

Favorite part of Halo: Ouufe. So So much. The Story/Lore (always a big thing for me). Gameplay through all of the games. Characters (Chief and Cortana have always been among my favorite from anything). Multiplayer, my original fireteam, juss the halo community in general have always helped me be more social and active. Halo was basically the first multiplayer game i got into. And how i got my original long running gamertag! And cannot forget the music. I may have owned all the soundtracks at one point heh.

Favorite Halo: Reach <3 Always Remember.

Favorite Video Game: *sucks in breath sharply* I mean Halo absolutely Top Tier and will never be lower than top 5. But there are SO many games i love! Things from Fire Emblem and Final Fantasy, to DMC and Overwatch. Gah Pokemon, GTA, Way too many...

Other Interests: Tons of these as well. Am a lover of many things, but kinda a master of none? A few are Cosplay and VGames, Obviously (says like Snape). But ANIME, Drawing, Writing, Reading, MTG, DnD, Archery, Cooking, Racing/Cars, Concerts/Music, Travel, Don't consider myself a movie or TV buff? But i've seen more than my fair share. I'm also addicted to collecting stickers and pins.

Favorite Food: Being a Chef by career, there isn't many foods i DON'T like (cept for blue cheese, cuz, Deathly allergic). But pretty much Anything with noodles/pasta. From Asian to Italian. Love meh some Noods.

Favorite Band: Again far too many to pick juss one. Especially being how wide (maybe a bit crazy) my music variety is. I have current faves? Right now I, Prevail, Wage War and CORPSE are hitting my queue fairly regularly ^w^

Favorite Movie(s): Again, so so many. Everything From Matrix to LotR. I suppose favorite Genres might be easier? Definitely love high fantasy, sci-fi, action, adventure. Toss a smidge of comedy and thriller and thas close enough heh.

What do you hope to learn here?: I would truly like to learn more about making actual armor and such. I have no experience in it as of yet, nor truly the means for now. But juss getting to be around and being involved with everyone and everything here and at the cons and such. I hope to (perhaps slowly but surely) get my hands more involved in the process along the way! ^u^

Have you built/made a costume before?: Put together, have sown or made small pieces or attachments. But not to the extent i want to. Yet.


Do you belong to any other costume communities? If so, which one(s)?: A few small ones, but nothing as amazing or intricate as here!

Other: Have been type 1 diabetic my whole life, along with some other auto immune disorders. And i'm partially Albino! Otherwise way too much stuff to put here, so juss feel free to ask if you'd like to know anything!?

Howya Elle!
I was the same about not really saying much on the forum, I was here for around 2 years before sending any messages!

I've recently found CORPSE myself coincidentally, enjoying a fair few of his songs for the gym! Seems like you have a solid taste in music!

I wouldn't worry about having not made any large projects yet, the longer you spend time here the more that it seems you just *happen* to accumulate cosplay pieces

As always, enjoy your time here and ask any questions you may have!

I have been more active in the discord. But i'll try to be much more active here now ^-^
Thankies! Yeah music has always been big for me. So many spotify playlists heh. CODE MISTAKE Is definitely my fave of his! But i've found a couple good ones by a guy called iamjakehill. All one word too heheh. If you like CORPSE, you may like him. Die a King and How it Ends are 2 great ones.
And thankies, the couple events and get togethers i've been able to attend so far have been amazing. I'm already learning and getting great help from amazing people. Can't wait to attend more stuff and get more involved with all the regiments! ~^w^~

I hope to learn about spartan cosplay building. I've been interested in it for a while but I really want to commit and give a go at bringing my spartan to life.

I have built costumes before as I frequent conventions but most of them had used completed parts I had bought or stuff I only needed to make slight modifications to. I have never made a 100% homemade cosplay.

I don't belong to any other costume community.

We've got a whole Armoury of files to help you print, craft and sand your way to being a full fledged Spartan!

Hi Will, welcome to the 405th Infantry Division!
Having 3D printing as a hobby already will be a pretty handy skill to start with.
We have plenty of guides for leveling up your printing and painting and many others for different skills.

I'd recommend reading over the 405th Mantle (kind of like our rulebook/handbook, it holds a load of information about what's allowed here and other organisational details). I'll link it below.

If you have any questions feel free to ask!

405th Costuming Club Mantle
