Hey all. Been long time viewer of the site but recently has had the courage to try building some stuff. I will post what i'm working on see what you guy/galls say.

p.s Thanks Adam for the orientation video really helped!
 
My introductory post!

Hello everyone!

My name is Terrag (Tear-rag). <- my online psuedonym.
I am new to the 405th site and crafting, constructing Halo props and armor. I have worked on a few other costumes, armor, weapons unrelated to Halo. I am by no means a skilled crafter, but I give it my best shot.
I'm a 36 yr old American male.
I am interested in sci-fi related games and movies, hand to hand combat, women, target rich environments, drinking, working on my various computers, combustion engines, anything that has sharp blades, gasoline or can make your brain splode. lol
I am a U.S. Army veteran.
I have served in various manners for over 10 years. I love weapons, armor and combat. I would love to see more armor being developed for our soldiers and have it stand up to the rigors of combat, yet still be affordable for the average grunt to purchase. God forbid the suits buy it for all enlisted men..but whatever.
I am here to participate, contribute and learn as much as possible. Also, in my work life I don't really get to talk about and work with other people who share this kind of interest. I'm looking forward to participating in the community aspect of this site as much as possible in order to stimulate my creative abilities and interests. Very much so.

I am currently working on a Halo Reach, Carter helmet.
I dl'd the HD pep file, and have almost finished it. Tedious stuff, that pepakura. I can see myself working with more clay and learning to sculpt in the future.
I'll include a short vid with this post as well.
I look forward to talking with you all, collaborating, exchanging ideas ..and hopefully some day, not being a noob lol.
T.

Hey everyone. I found this site mentioned in the Official Xbox Magazine and thought I'd check it out.

Porky here!

Name: Michael Darro

Profession: Things have changed. I now work for a local car dealership full time, throwing them into this new age of technology with Facebook management, IT Specialization and specific vehicle specs on the Chevy Volt (Volt Specialist). Ten steps above where I was a year ago. :)

Age: 19

Favorite Hobby: Writing and Gaming, from Halo Games to Halo Stories. I also voice act, and I am an active member of the Halo Machinama community.

Favorite part of halo: Favorite part? None. The entire Universe to me, is a creative goldmine. It's something I've truly indulged myself in since I was first introduced to Halo: CE when I was 11 years old. I've dabbled into anything and everything Halo since that moment in time, and above anything else, know weapon and armor specs up the wazoo down to their history by heart. A die hard fan of the entire Universe, to lightly put my attachment and favoritism to the series at ease.

Favorite Halo: All of them, from Combat Evolved to Halo Wars. ODST to the original Marathon.

Favorite Video Game: Three things. Halo, Call of Duty and Mass Effect. They all captivate me.

Other Interests: As I said early, I love to write and voice act. I've been doing it since I was 13 years old, and have met some of the most prominent and revolutionary figures in what is now the machinama hobby and industry. From Bernie Burns to Bryan Smith (imSuck), I've been graced with learning and working with some of the best out there, in terms of Halo machinama.

Favorite Food: Seafood diet. I SEE it, I EAT it. Though Sushi and Chicken top my lists.

Favorite Finisher: The new Reach Prestige Assassinations.

Favorite Band: Linkin Park, Faunts and Lost Horizon among many others.

Favorite Movie(s): Black Hawk Down, Demolition Man, The Terminator series, Alien series, Dawn of the Dead, Army of Darkness, District 9, Star Wars (Uber Fanatic) and The Last Samurai.

Other: I'm formally trained in some martial arts, firearms use and tactical planning. I also have a deep love for dogs of nearly all breeds.

---------------------

:D I'm really looking forward to learning from you - and potentially working with the rest of you guys one day. I have a feeling it's going to be a blast.
