Name: Matthew Hicks
Age: 18 (19 in two days)
Profession: Part-time worker and college student
Favorite Hobbies: Gaming and Music (listening and playing piano)
Favorite Halo: Reach/Halo 4
Favorite Part of Halo: Playing multiplayer to grind for levels and armor; Halo 2 campaign is the most nostalgic for me.
Fun Facts and Background: After having just graduated high school, I really miss it. Mostly because of marching band and making so many friends through that part of my life. I played marimba in the front ensemble all 4 years and it was a blast. Now-a-days, it's been hard to focus on anything outside of work and school, but I would like to have a hobby outside of gaming now that I'm not in marching band anymore. I've joined this forum in hopes of finding a new hobby that I might enjoy a lot. I've set my eyes on building an ODST armor set if I can make myself spend the money. Hopefully I can learn some new skills here; along with sharing what I learn if I can be involved with this community.

Have a great day

I miss high school and college (somewhat), time of innocence, less work (per se'), and overall time of exploration. Finding where you'll fit in the world. Now I'm fighting adulthood Lol. Hope you do join the ODSTs, I am Ex-ODST Spartan III. Reach variant. Welcome.

Current project is my first (hopefully) complete cosplay, the Mjolnir MK V. I've started this project twice before, and before that I started a doomed MK VI project that didn't go very well.

Also, I'd like to mention that the Halo community is probably by far the best community I've had experience with. You guys and gals are so interesting!

Also, FYI: My username is a reference to Spartan Joshua-029, a Spartan II who served at the fall of reach and my namesake.

Welcome to an indeed, Great Community Josh. Halo CE has a place for me, but now I enjoy Reach and (yes) 5. Lol.

Profession: Aircraft/Helicopter Mechanic.

Wonder what made you switch to Aviation. I enjoy flying Sims, not so much real aircraft. ODST had great soundtrack, no doubt and great story. Welcome to the ODST group (cough) er hemm I mean 405th, . Ex-ODST became Spartan III.

Name: Cameron Rogers
Profession: United States Marine
Age: 20
Favorite Hobby: Painting miniatures, writing, gaming, and slowly but surely costume building.
Favorite Part of Halo: The entire introduction of The Flood in Halo: CE. Still one of the most intense first person horror segments in my opinion.
Favorite Video Game: Halo: CE, KuF Heroes, and a dozen others.
Other: I’m a 5711 by trade (for those of you unfamiliar with military that means I’m a CBRN Defense Specialist.) thus even since finding out that the UNSC has a rather substantial history of using both Chemical and Nuclear weaponry I’ve wanted to build a CBRN-e variation of the standard ODST Trooper armor. Something I can hopefully figure out soon enough how to go about.

Welcome to the page Soldier! Thanks for your service. ODSTs forever man, even if it's a different specialty, I would love to see pictures. Sounds cool.

Favorite Halo: CE or Reach
Favorite Video Game: Half-Life Franchise
Other: I just replayed the MCC rendition of Halo: Reach's campaign and decided to throw myself right at the DIY crowd. First project is going to be a rendition of my Noble Six MJOLNIR-MKV with MKV/B helmet. If anyone's interested in helping me along it'd be greatly appreciated, seeing as I'm pretty new to the foam scene despite extensive experience with CAD.

Best of luck on your Noble 6 variant. I sadly am poor at the practice of making armor, but I definitely learned a lot from tutorials and seeing other people's work. Welcome to the 405th!
