[Hype]

I figure now is a good time to submit a roll call after 12 years of lurking around the 405th.

Name: Cooper / Hype

Age: 29

Location: Orlando(area), Florida

Occupation: Public Safety (Higher Education)

About: I am a general maker with no real specialization. I love complex costumes with stories and lore behind them. I dabble in foam, but I'm very bad at it. I am much better at 3D printing and I am learning how to model things myself. Right now I am just making simple things like modifications to pre-existing designs and small things that aren't seen on the outside of the cosplay. I am finishing up the inner thigh and shoe caps on my ODST and it will be "complete", then I will start working on my Reach spartan in earnest. I am always open to criticism and advice so if you catch me making mistakes in my build logs, please let me know.

Favorite Conventions: MegaCon & MetroCon. I haven't traveled out of state for a convention yet. but I look forward to future cons once I get my Reach spartan done and get to know everyone here better.

Name: Payton Russell or Olie-085
Age:24
Location: Jonesboro, AR
Occupation: Full Time Mill Operator
About me: I started working with arts and crafts back when I was 9 around the teaser of Halo Reach, obviously being as young as I was I begged my dad to buy me the McFarland Toys that came out around the time of the game’s release, I also started drawing and making OC’s of Spartans in this little note book I had. Recently my interest has peaked in crafting EVA foam armor with my best friend crafting his own Chainsaw Man cosplay out of EVA two years back, currently working on a build of some Reach/Infinite armor pieces with him. My favorite cons to go are Little Rock Comic Con, Memphis Anime Expo, and Fan Expo in Dallas.

Hey spooky!

Welcome to Southern!

If you're looking for another con to hit, I'd highly recommend coming to MegaCon in Orlando! We've got a bunch of people who go and it's crazy fun.
