Hi everyone!

I'm Brett and I am 28. I have been lurking here for some time drooling over the awesome work some of you guys have done. I have wanted a master chief suit pretty much since the good ole halo 1 came out and I have decided to finally try to make that dream a reality. I have decided to go full pep mark vi after seeing some of longshotx's work. As this is my first suit I hope to get it at least half as good as his but I am going to take my time. Perfection can't be rushed I hope to attend a con meetup one day in the future with a badass suit so cheers to day 1.

[SolarBlk]

I took a very long break from cosplaying (we just called it wearing a costume back then). When I came back everyone was talking about Pepkaura. My first testbuild was the Master Chief helmet file. I'd previously been a strictly fabric person and was immediately in love. Since then, I've build several other things, but never went back to the whole Mjolnir suit. I've learned a lot in the last two years and am excited to add a Halo rig to my lineup.
