[DeltaAlphaZulu]

Hello!

-I'm DeltaAlphaZulu but feel free to call me Alex!
-I'm from Grand Junction, CO
-My favorite Halo would between Reach, ODST, and Infinite
-I prefer to work with 3D printed and Foam Hybrid Suits
-I think the high desert terrain of where I live is the biggest inspiration to my current WIP suit
-I have a Youtube where I post some build tutorials and work videos and an Instagram where I post all sorts of photos ranging from WIP, Final builds, and Con photos!

In 2007 I was watching people play Halo 3 on Youtube and I had to wait until I got my first Xbox 360 for Christmas that year so I could play Halo CE and Halo 2.

Preferred building method: 3D printing, but I'm no stranger to mixed materials.

[tahu505]

Username: tahu505

State: Nevada

Fave Halo game: Reach for getting me into Halo/asthetic, Halo 2 for deep lore, and Halo 5/Infinite have been great for multiplayer!

Prefered building method: I generally do 3d printing. I like the solid feel of it. I do want to try doing some more foam work though.

Biggest inspiration for your armor: When I got into this hobby I didn't really know what cosplay was, I just liked building stuff and I liked Halo, so I wanted to combine the two. I guess the main inspiration has been to just do what I like and make things for me. I hope that inspires others though to be creative and make the things they like.

Socials: Instagram - tahu505, Tiktok - tahu505_

2007 release of Halo 3: I didn't get into Halo until 2011, so I wasn't really doing anything special for Halo 3 haha. I was probably building Lego when it released if I had to guess.

 

[Unfit Armory]

Username: unfit armory

State: Utah

Fav halo game: oooh. Tough one. Gotta go with CE or odst

My preferred building method is without a doubt 3D printing. Do I like it? Not really, I have the worst luck known to man when it comes to printing.

Socials: unfit_armory on most platforms!

My biggest inspiration was playing the games, but the final straw was the tv show, weirdly. Thought I’d give it a shot. And now I can’t stop. Goodness me.

My first halo game was Halo 4, as for where I was in 2007, I was like 4-5 years old so I couldn’t tell you
Games or legos, who knows.

I was a little too busy with Lego Star Wars to notice. I didn't become a Halo fan until I binged lore videos when I was home sick sometime in 2018.

 

[Sean Anwalt]

Oh boy...

Username: Sean Anwalt

State: Utah

Fave halo game: pfffft...... hard to say. Probably Halo 2, if I'm honest. (Secretly I love the story but am not a fan of the game play. The controls aren't customizable enough. Also I don't like Cortana. ‍)

Preferred building method: Foam, weirdly. I love pepakura, but hot dang is it expensive and time consuming!

Biggest inspiration for your armor: Kurt 051, from the books. He was more personal than the other Spartans, and a great team player. No references at all to armor, since all the new permutation stuff came around from the games after the books (kinda sorta...), so it allowed me to go wild with my imagination, which I love doing.

Link where we can find you on socials if you have any: Does not exist. Social media is evil and nothing good has ever come from it. Want to cure your mental illness? Stop social media and go for a walk in a park.

Also I'm on discord, but I'm too old to understand what that means...

In 2007 I was (drum roll): right out of high school either volunteering at the Hill Aerospace Museum in Roy, Utah, OR! a licensed minister in Indiana. Not a joke. Not too focused on Halo, unfortunately.

 

[Kramnog]

Username: Kramnog, most people just call me Oni though
State: Wyoming
Fave halo game: Lots of love for the OG Halo
Preferred building method: I mostly make functional armor for the SCA as of right now
Biggest inspiration for your armor: My kid wants to make Apex Legends armor, so I'm going to one-up her and make a mech.

[20Studios]

Username: 20Studios
State: Idaho
Favorite Halo game: Halo Reach, though Halo 3 and Halo 2 are very close behind.
Favorite building method: The last couple of years I have primarily been focusing on 3D printing, though I have experience with foamsmithing as well.
I absolutely love the stories behind halo, especially stories behind ODSTs.

 

[Sharpfang]

Ayo!
My user name is SharpFang, yall can just call me Sharp!
I am hanging out in the lonely confines of South east Idaho.
My favorite building method is 3d printing but a bit of foam helps is the awkward spots where pinching is a no go.
I freaking love most everything space armor. And super enjoyed everything about halo, playing in my friends basement for days on end trying to find Easter eggs and the like before the idea of walkthroughs ever passed my mind. But my favorite game is probabally odst, only got to play it as an adult many years after on MCC cause I was in a rough spot when it released.

Don't do socals all that much, but yall can hit me up on discord by the same name!
I look forward to hanging out with yall!

user: gooxber
state: wyoming
fav halo game: halo 3, but i like the mood of reach more
pref building style: foam pepakura, i hate sanding 3d prints!
biggest inspo: i've always wanted to be a halo cosplayer, my whole life i've been building suits out of cardboard, i think i used to have a post up of a purple mk v i did in highschool! (no my current is not made of cardboard lol)

socials:
discord is @malice_unrelenting. and i'm most active on there. steam is starchild59 and xbox is Gooxber, so we can play on mcc. :]

i was three years old at the time of halo 3's release, so i don't think i was doing much :,)
the earliest, most significant halo release i have witnessed in conscious memory is halo 4, and i can remember the outrage at the artstyle change very vividly!

i'm super young and unexperienced, but im gettin there! hope to be among the greats soon!! >:]
