Hey Guys,

first I wanna say hi to 405th. I just joined but I wanted to add my gamertag so that we could maybe play some halo. Would be pretty awesome.
Just add me and say that you're from the 405th.

Hello

Name: David Marks
Profession: Aircraft Maintenance USAF
Age: 30
Favorite Hobby: Video Games
Favorite part of halo: Story, that goes for any game. If there's not a good story I get bored.
Favorite Halo: ODST
Favorite Video Game: Toss up between Knights of the Old Republic, Halo series and Starcraft 2
Other Interests: Electronics, Paint ball, Voleyball
Favorite Food: Mexican food
Favorite Movie(s): Star Wars (Original trilogy) Star Trek II : The Wrath of Khan

I've been in the Air Force almost 8 years which is where I discovered Halo. When I was going through my technical training the squadron used to hold Halo tournaments once or twice a monthas a way for us to blow off steam. That was pretty much all I knew of Halo until last year when I was in a motorcycle accident and was laid up couldn't walk for a month. So I picked up the Halo series and started playing. I found that I got so engrossed in the games that I would even forget to take my meds and wouldn't realize. That's when I knew Halo was really something special.

I found out about this site in X Box Magazine, and couldnt resist checking it out.

I've recently been to my first convention with a few friends, we all decided to Cosplay the first time around (it seemed like alot of fun on youtube....). I was stuck with the job of making the props for the adventure, we went as TF2 characters, so I made a Tribalsman Shiv, a Fire Axe, and a Southern Hospitality. I found this to be very fun, so I started looking into other props and costumes I could make, and stumbled across 405th and all the awesome props the members of the community have made.

I have also recently started getting into droid building with an R2-D2 currently under completion.

I swear to desperately try to not make n00b mistakes.

Name: Joel
Profession: Personal Banker & Mortgage Originator
Interests: Choral singing, new beer, war history, birds, my motorcycle, and guns.
Favorite game: Earthworm Jim
Favorite HALO weapon: My fists
Favorite HALO moment: End of Halo3. I teared up, then credits.
Favorite movies: There Will Be Blood, American Beauty, Fight Club, Good Will Hunting, Jurassic Park, LOTR Trilogy, Babe, The Green Mile

What I hope to accomplish: I would love to start with something simple (gloves, boots), move up a bit more (helmet), and then make a hybrid of an airsoft AEG with a full-scale HALO Assault Rifle. The more functional my creations can be, the better.

I love new experiences: new sports arenas, beers, restaurants, music styles, food, art, literature, video games, etc. "All of life is an experiment," it is said. Why not soak it up?

[POSTMORTEM]

Name: Isaac
Profession: Student in college and Staff Writer for www.forwarduntodawn.com
Age: 19
Favorite Hobby: any form of artistic creation
Favorite part of halo: expanded universe and how it ties into the gaming universe
Favorite Halo: Reach
Favorite Video Game: Portal (serves as almost a metaphor for life)
Other: Not much else. I'm not a noob to the Halo community, as much as I may be to this site and armor building. I've been around since H2, and have been active on a few community sites. I've heard lots about 405th but never thought to try it out for myself, since I didn't feel like I had the time to create something from scratch. After watching a few videos of how to make full armor though, I'm confident that a helmet could turn out pretty good if I put the same amount of effort into that one piece. Something nice to wear to events for fun, and just something that'll look cool on my Halo shelf. I'm looking for an extreme amount of detail and durability, at the cheapest price possible.

I'm not sure how often I'll be posting on the forums, but I thought it would be a good idea to join up for in the future. I'd really appreciate it if someone could email me any links or instructions for creating a good helmet, preferably ODST. My email is isaac.frankel@gmail.com

I'd appreciate any help anyone is willing to give me.
