As a general note concerning incoming model requests (I will also place the following info somewhere at the beginning of the thread)...
I do like receiving requests and intend to continue freely providing models to members but I cannot guarantee my time unless we've worked out some manner of trade or compensation. Although lately I've been punching out a lot of model work each one has taken me a considerable amount of effort (more for some than for others) to produce. Through modelling, I think I have been able to provide a good service to the community and enjoy doing so. I will be putting all reasonable model requests and those that I'd be willing to pursue after the work log and arsenal summary at the beginning of the thread along with the date of request. The order and time-frame in which I may address those requests will be at my discretion.
If you are interested in pursuing making some sort of deal for model work please PM me. Depending on the terms of the deal, models requested in this manner may or may not be provided to the general public.
I appreciate when requested models are actually put to use and so am more likely to produce for members that I know are serious about using them (for example I'm confident that more-seasoned members like BLACKULA727 or tankball would use something they've asked for but for newer or less frequent members if you can identify how or why you'd use a model along with your request I'd be more prone to helping you...a general "I really want XXX" isn't really be up to snuff). Also, for items not on the beaten path, a reference image or two accompanying a request may be helpful, as I don't know all the ins and outs of the halo-verse.
I will note that there are already a few threads dedicated to providing a spot for members to place requests (please see the links below). If there is a request made in this thread or via PM discussion that I can't or won't fulfill please use one of them. I will say that since there are many other talented modellers here at the 405th it may not be a bad idea to start with one of the request threads. I do not wish to, and cannot, hog all requests so as to remove modelling opportunities from others.

After saying all that...I love helping out the community when I can but want to be clear that making these models, at least for me, isn't as easy as operating a Star Trek food synthesizer/replicator (google it, for those not in the know). I dig this community and look forward to continuing to build together. See you star-side, four-oh-five.
