I was online one night and I seen somewhere some guy made a Halo masterchief suit from metal plating with and under suit and it looked almost identical to the chief. It was 10 grand. That's what led me to look up costume making and pepakura and then I seen it. the 405th. it's good to actually be here.

I'm going to document my journey into making a spartan costume and we will see how it all goes. my first task is getting my printer perfectly set up to print. I have and ender 6 and it's beautiful.

So just found this thread and realized I never did a formal introduction on here, just posted my suit right away. But here we go! Better late than never??? Or something like that...

First Name: Mike
Profession? Student?: Business Analyst with a finance company
Favorite Hobby: 3D printing/cosplay

Have you built/made a costume before?: Yes, Jun from Halo Reach
Do you belong to any other costume communities? If so, which one(s)?: No
Other: I just recently moved across country from AZ to NC. Trying to get actively involved with the local community. Halo has always been a huge part of my life since I became addicted to it around 2000-2001. One of my long time friends and I were absolutely obsessed with Halo Reach and logged a ridiculous amount of time in the game. He actually passed away from cancer about 4 years ago now. Jun was his favorite in Noble Team and was my tribute to honor him, there are some custom pieces that pay tribute to friend in the build as a result. Halo is more than just a game to me because of him.
