Too many to count and before that it was Dennis the Menace....

Also, its hilarious that your name has been on my computer for months and now now I see it every time I slice my prints.... Thanks for all the hard work to make my life easier.

Found 405th almost accidentally by simply browsing through Halopedia. I hadn't considered costuming until I found this group earlier this month. Basically I thought; 'Why not? I can build this over the summer'. I've decided to try and make my customized appearance from Halo Reach PC. I'm intending to 3D-print the parts.

[swirlie]

Hi there folks. New member checking in.


Name: James. Swirlie is a handle I picked up thanks to partying back in the old-school heydays of the 501st!
Profession: Professional Couch Potato (med retired US Army)
Age: 39
Favorite Hobby: Costuming!
Favorite part of halo: Would it be terrible of me to just say the majesty that was original Halo when it first released on PC so many years ago?
Favorite Halo: Dunno. I mean, CE was game-changing at release, but each has its moments.
Favorite Video Game: Don't really have a single favorite. I love lots of games, lots of genres. Favorites change over time anyways.
Favorite Food: Steak
Favorite Finisher: Well I tend to stick with rustoleum, but Testors clear from years ago (think they quit making it) was probably the best IMHO.
Other: I've led a pretty varied life. I've been everything from a graphic designer to a cop to an infantryman. Nowadays I just enjoy costuming.

I'm involved with a lot of costuming. I do occasional builds for 501st costumes with a local armorer here in my area (can't even begin to guess how many shoretrooper and deathtrooper builds I've done over the years) but having a fully-equipped shop with all manner of power tools is a super handy resource. I've always looked at the 405th costumes I see at cons and wanted to join in, but only recently decided to branch out beyond the 501st. I've done some foam work before, I built a Fallout heavy raider armor (the 'cage' style one with the big bars that go up over the head, big tanks on the back) that tons of photographers have taken pics of at various conventions and I'm sure I could google myself and find some pics of that floating around. I'm looking at getting into some Marine armor because of the ease of foam construction and the reduced cost vs trying to find an ABS/HIPS set of Spartan armor. I also have the luck of being in an area with a pretty active costume community, and spreading out beyond the 501st and getting active in the various games and movies I enjoy is something I'm looking forward to. Nice to meet all of you!

Hey all. After visiting and reading and studying the 405th's website and forums for YEARS now without signing up, I finally decided to take the plunge and join in since I'm wanting to get more involved in the Cosplay Community. So.. here we go!

Name: Jay Peterson
Profession: Full time Video Editor and Cameraman
Age: 27
Favorite Hobby: Video Games by far
Favorite Halo: Split between ODST and Reach. Dat aesthetic tho
Favorite Video Game: Halo (Of course), along with COD and probably Minecraft
Other Interests: Music, movies, books, hiking.
Favorite Band: Tool
Favorite Movie(s): Too many good ones to list.

Last year I decided to take the plunge, and after doing lighter costuming for some time, bit the bullet and jumped into Halo Cosplay. Something Ive wanted to do since I was a kid. I'm still working to improve my Mark IV set, and adding more props, and detail to my armor.

Looking forward to getting plugged into this community more!

Welcome aboard Pete! We're glad to have you!

Welcome JayPete. I also followed the forums for about a year or 2 before jumping in as well. Hope you enjoy it here and we would love to see any builds you got going on!
