Working in photography in all the hours that I'm not in the lab has recently led me to making my own props. I have lurked about here and other places building up knowledge of best practices and tips and tricks. I started on a Daft Punk (Thomas) mask (I'm sure everyone starts with this, no?!) after being asked to shoot a daft punk bikini fashion shoot. I'm at the bondo stage(s)

I am in the UK, so it would be great to hear from others on this side of the pond, so I can pick up tips about suppliers and material choices available over here.

[Spartan214]

Nickname: Skylark - An alias I've had for about a decade, since I started playing Halo no less.
Favorite Hobby: Art (all-inclusive), reading, researching, video games...
Favorite part of Halo: The lore, designs, music, and Chief.
Favorite Halo: CE. I've only played CE and 2 to their entirety and a little bit of ODST. Really disliked 2... loved ODST, but I hope to be able to finish the series soon.
Favorite Video Game: Eh favorite.... Well I played Portal 1/2 and Deus EX HR a few months ago and both/all were amazing.
Other Interests: Movies and music (all genres pretty much), some anime, history, science, antiques, animals/pets (snake + dog)...
Favorite Food: French toast
Favorite Movie(s): How do people list just a couple... I will say I grew up watching silver screen films from the 30s,40s,50s + Bond. Um, idk uh, Resident Evil, The Mummy, Jurassic Park, LotR, Ghibli... I tend to like more campy stuff or monster flicks. Been watching a lot of Asian films lately.

Experience: I have a long art background as I've dealt with so many mediums (oil/acrylic, graphite, ink, colored pencil, digital, plaster, wood, metal, earthenware/stoneware, polymer clay, cardboard...). But not foam! though hopefully I'll be up to the task; I'll be starting a foam build in a couple weeks.

Other: I was introduced to Halo via the trial for pc CE. I played that and the fv for around 6 odd years on and off. I managed to hang on for so long because of the small but tight-knit community it had and I really loved that. I've wanted to make a Halo costume for YEARS but didn't think it was possible until I happened to find this site on the off chance about a month ago. I'm so happy to have found another Halo community so I consider it fate the forum has bounced back when it did!
