Have you built/made a costume before?: No, started my build 10 years ago and just got the motivation to get it done.

Other: I've known and followed the 405th for over 10 years and just recently joined full force. I was always self-conscious of my work and build and the amount of time I could commit having 6 kids at home. This has been a passion project for nearly 13 years to build slowly. I have a vision in mind of where I want my final build to look like, which includes fully embedded forearm communication panel, HUD and lighting systems, along with the ability to do a 3d virtual Cortana display (either virtual with AR via the HUD or something that can appear in the palm of the hand) and spent a lot of years studying what and how others have done it. I finally feel confidently enough to start posting and my work and proceeding forward.
