Roll Call

Name: Zach
Age: 38
Location: Ardmore, TN (and Huntsville, AL area)
Occupation: Student Trainee
About me: Army brat and Physicist Student. Got into Halo with the first game on pc and have enjoyed the lore since. Planning to make my first suit over the next year with plans to go to DragonCon (my first Con) next year so I have a Goal and an end date since I am a habitual procrastinator. Would also like to try and design/build the Falcon and Hornet as an Experimental Aircraft... someday.

Welcome to the 405th! I'm also hoping to go to Dragon Con next year if my work schedule permits.
 
Not gonna lie, I kinda forgot to account for the "being a responsible adult" thing. That said, if we both make it, you want meet up?
Totally! Dragon con is probably one of the larger 405th outings. We do a ton of fun stuff there and would love for you to hang out!
 
Name: Mike Hackstadt (Wolfman)

Age: 40

Where your located: Jacksonville, NC

Occupations: Electrician and HVAC technician

About you: I’m a single father of two boys. I make armor out of foam mostly but can do it with leather as well. I’m trying to learn how to blacksmith so I can do it with metal as well. I do make swords out of wood and hope to be able to do it with metal as well. I mostly just do it for fun and for my kids. Would love to make a full set of armor that I can wear/display when I want.

Favorite Conventions: I actually haven’t been to one yet. I would love to go to one though especially if I could bring my kids.

Hey Mike!

I’m in the upstate of SC so I’m not too far from you. Maybe we can find a con to meet up at sometime!

Also, feel free to join the 405th Discord server! Join the 405th Infantry Division Discord Server!

Once you’re in there, just make sure your name in the server matches your forum name and one of the staff peeps will get you added to the members list.

Edit: Just keep in mind that posts on the Discord server do not count twords your forum status. I'd recommend starting a build thread of one of your builds if you want to fast track your forum membership.
 
Hey there Alex!

Happy to see another person here in the south!

I just saw the thread for your MK5B pop up! I can’t wait to see how it goes!
 
Name: I go by Lojak or my nickname Rusty
Age: 30+
I'm located: Central Arkansas
Occupations: Grad Student Primarily
About Me: First off, apologies for any frustration due to my generalness on personal info. However, this is the big scary internet. I spend most my time with my wife who politely and lovingly listen to me critique whatever bit of fictional storytelling I just ingested. She's incredible, and always three steps ahead of me. I try to write when I can, but I've never finished a book (ain't that always the case). Halo has been one of my top fictional universes since I was a teenager playing Cairo Station on legendary co-op on Friday nights. Just recently started giving cosplay the energy I've always desired to, which has been pointing to this moment of building a Spartan suit. I'm not a big forum guy (honestly this is my first, I don't even reddit), so sorry I'm not always active here. Other fun facts; dyslexic, ADHA, and colorblind.
Favorite Conventions: I can usually make it out to any in Little Rock, Memphis, and have plans to head out to Dallas soon.
 
Hey Lojak!

Welcome to the 405th! We’re happy to have you here.

Not wanting to share every little bit of your life on a public forum is probably a good idea.

I see you’ve already found the discord which is awesome. Somehow I went over a year without realizing we had one.

If there’s anything I can help you out with on the forums, let me know! I’d love to help in any way I can.
 
(I am not sure if I filled this out already, but here it is! [If I did, then here's an updated version of my Introduction])

Name: Santiago Urdaneta, or Santi for short. [I would prefer if you can call me by my online name, TheMasterChiefProductions.]

Age: 18

Where your located: Miami, Florida

Occupations: Other than being a full time tiktoker and a Streamer, nothing yet.

About you: I am a tiktoker with 10k followers and climbing with Autism and ADHD. I always wanted to cosplay ever since I was 5 years old, and over 2 years ago, I made that dream into a reality with my first Spartan II armor (Master Chief). Do note this is my first time in a Cosplaying Group, excluding the Galactic Academy. I did stop cosplaying as the chief ever since I got a ton of Hate Mail on TikTok over taking off my helmet, and thus cosplayed as an Imperial Stormtrooper from ANH. Fortunately, I am back as cosplaying, but not as the Chief. Now I returned to Halo Cosplaying as a normal Spartan II. (I have a more comfortable helmet (the mark v as seen below) where I can breathe normally without having to take off my helmet! I cannot wait to go to cons with you guys! (Yes, I did apply for 405th deployment, given that I met the requirements for the deployment process, so I can't wait to be active in cons and even more active on the forums!) Below you will see my spartan II cosplay and I gotta say that I love how it turned out to be!

Favorite Conventions: My favorite cons are MegaCon and SuperCon. (Megacon 2023 was the best con for me because I met the 405th and the 501st for the very first time in person + meeting Giancarlo Esposito)

Hey MasterChiefProd!

Welcome to the 405th!

I think I’ve actually come across some your videos before! I also just followed you on twitch so I can catch when you’re live!

I think I’m going to be at MegaCon this year, so I hope I’ll get to meet you in person!

If you ever want some help with getting fans and whatnot in your helmets to make it easier to breathe, feel free to message me! I’d love to help out!
