Profession: Tier 3 IT support. Been in IT for faaaaar too long.

Age: (Do I really have to say? Old enough to know better

Favorite Hobby: Gaming & Making. I like to think of myself as a maker; I love problem solving and figuring out how to make things I see in video games.

Favorite part of halo: First time I played was work's christmas party. We rented two xboxes and networked them together in the board room. This was back when Halo was first released. Blood gulch, the network director, my boss and a senior admin were in a warthog circling the base I was in. Me with a shotgun - I took out the warthog killing all three with one shot. Most. Awesome. Kill. The guys in the room were so angry! I believe I was the most killed player after that, but soo worth it!

Favorite Halo: Hm. 1, but I've had so much fun playing 4 lately with my buddies. Hard to say.

Favorite Video Game: Halo/Mass Effect

Other Interests: Costuming. I can sew and I have a small army of sewing machines. I've made such things as: Mass Effect armor, bodysuit to go under it, BSG (modern) flight suits. Small armada of Star Wars costumes ranging from Leia to a full suit of Storm Trooper gear.

Other: I'm a fitness geek. I guess it's because I have to sit behind a computer all fracking day - and I work from home. I don't want to end up looking like the Blob, so every week day I hit the gym at 7am for an hour, then come home and start my work day. If I'm lucky and the internets are still humming along, I run 5-10k during lunch breaks 2-3 times each week.

[MatPresco]

Hey guys. This might be the second time. I am introducing myself. This message is partly to make sure the hold on my account was removed for being inactive for a while, but also to reintroduce myself to the community and help jumpstart my projects and whatnot.

Name: Mat Prescott
Profession: Specialist for Apple (in other words I fix iPhones at an Apple Store)
Age: 23 (as of 1/29/13)
Favorite Hobby: Video Games
Favorite part of halo: Finishing the fight... Again.
Favorite Halo: a tie between Halo:CEA and 4
Favorite Video Game: Halo, Final Fantasy Tactics, and the Banjo Kazooie Series (lover of all genres)
Other Interests: Technology, electronics repair, cell phone info etc.
Favorite Food: Pizza or Doughnuts
Favorite Band: I would have to say Journey, but queen and Kansas make close 2nd/3rd
Favorite Movie(s): Cast Away, James Bond, Star Wars, Star Trek (movies and tv), and so much more.
Other: I just copied the first person to post for the survey but the relavent info on me is that I am a young working American with a 2yr degree planning on getting married in about a year. I am rejoining this community to motivate myself to build armor for me and my brother. I would love to be able to give back to this community eventually but I don't know much about this type of thing at the moment.

WHAT I THINK I CAN HELP WITH: if you use a Mac computer I can definitely explain how to get windows on your computer. I can't magically make Pepakura work on Mac OS, in fact I don't anyone who can. But I can help you get it to work so please let me know if you have questions on that type of thing.

 

[AdenS]

Name: PJ Reindel
Profession: Receptionist/Operator at a Community College and Owner Skirata Arms
Age: 36
Favorite Hobby: Costuming and prop making
Favorite part of halo: The armor
Favorite Halo: Halo 3

Other: I've lurked the 405th boards for awhile, I've always wanted to do a Halo build but, never thought I had the time. Over the Christmas/New Year's span, I acquired a set of CE foam Chief armor. It needed some upgrading and upsizing to look it's best and fit me right so, I am in the process of that. Kinda going a custom route with it. I'm starting to post a bit now so folks can get to know me if they so desire and so I can access the sales area lol.

WHAT I THINK I CAN HELP WITH: I have been a costumer for 6 years. I was the Personnel Officer for the Mandalorian Mercs Costuming Club for 5 years before stepping down at the first of this year. All of my experience is in the Star Wars realm. So, learning a new genre and new materials is kinda a breath of fresh air for me. But, I bring some skills and idea that may be applicable here.
