Roll Call!

[RookBartly]

Hey, used to live up there from 2014-2018 for college. I had my armor too, wish I had known. But welcome to the page.

Thanks! I want doing the halo thing till this year. I run an Umbrella Corp group here that does resident evil cosplay for fund raisers for charities.

Hello all new members. Also, yes very happy and excited to see more people posting. Cannot wait for outpost, gaming nights (which we already had a Minecraft night), and just trooping. Got about a month and a half left for Chicago, need to make those adjustments to my suit.

What’s going on in chi town?

Wish I could make it but chi town is a little far as my armor won’t be finished by then. I’m rushing to finished by Dragon Con. And my truck money is wrapped up in that endeavor.

Don't need a suit to attend. And to cut down on your trip cost, we could Carpool. It would be great to have you attend, but if not good too.

Name: Madeline, or Asianinspace on the boards
Location: MN, around the Twin Cities
Costuming since: I got into costuming about 3 or 4 years ago.
About me: I work in electrical R&D for a 3D printing company. Costuming is the main hobby taking up all my time now. I do mostly star wars costuming but occasionally branch out to other things, superheroes, halo, etc. I volunteer with a local charity costume groups most weekends. I also met my soon to be wife through star wars costuming. I also build droids, I got into that about the time I started costuming. I have 2 BB-8s, a mouse droid, a disguised BB-8 (from TLJ), and a BB-9e that I built with my girlfriend. I have an R-series in the works as well and absolutely no room in my house for all of these projects.
Favorite Cons: Any con in MN, I just debuted my armor at CONvergence. I travel for 1 or 2 cons a year, I've been to ECCC, DragonCon, a few wizard worlds, planet comiccon and Star Wars Celebration. I've been meaning to get to C2E2 as well. I'm not sure which travel ones I'll be hitting this coming year.
Costumes/Props: For halo I just finished my hayabusa armor and I'm working on a needler, probably a needle rifle as well. Other costumes I have include Rey, Leia, Rose Tico, Paige Tico, Bultar Swan, Doctor Aphra, and Jessika Pava for Star wars. Some of my others are Silk (marvel), a few Laura Kinney wolverine/x-23 variants, Minerva (Captain Marvel), Lexa (The 100) and Chell (portal). I have a few others but those are the highlights haha.

YOOOO! Finally another Minnesotan. We are a hidden group aren't we? Sometimes you find a straggler, but not too often. I hope to go to more cons. I just need to find time, which unfortunately isn't an easy task. Good seeing you here, and we should troop sometime. Two spartans should be better than one.

Definitely! I make it to a lot of MN cons and I expect I'll be wearing my armor to a few of them haha.

Thanks! Now that I'm less rushed I pan to add some details but no costume is ever done so I'm sure I'll be making upgrades forever.

[OtherODSTBuck]

Name: Brandon/Buck
Location: Chicago
Costuming since: Just this year! Went all in with a Sean Bradley kit for Halo Outpost Discovery in Chicago.
About me: Always wanted to get into cosplay, and the announcement of Outpost Discovery gave me my reason. In my spare time, I play Halo and various other games on both PC and Xbox. Find me on twitter @ManhoodMagic.
Favorite Cons: Halo Outpost Discovery in Chicago was my first, but I'll definitely be around the cons that happen in Rosemont in the future.
Costumes/Props: My Bradley kit build, which I affectionately refer to as ODST Buck, but not that one. The SMG is the only part that I didn't have any part in creating, shoutout to StarJeff3DWorkshop on that one.
The other ODST Buck with Steve and Jen!

About me: I'm a approved member of the Mandalorian Mercs Costume Club and Rebel Legion (Star Wars clubs) so I'm used to the adult dress up life.

Favorite Cons: Maker Faire Detroit, Star Wars Celebration, Michigan Comic Con, etc.
Costumes/Props: I've had a lot of one-off cosplays over the years, but the two costumes I've got that have stuck around and improved are both Star Wars club ones; my Mandalorian with the MMCC and Kazuda Xiono (main character from Star Wars Resistance) with the Rebel Legion.

Pics of my Mando to say i'm not an armored poser Cant wait to get some Halo gear going finally.
