My Name is Grandmastertook "GMT" for short, just a little info on me, Born and Raised in hawaii, Very hands on person, X military Mechanic, love to wrench, Love Art "draw/Paint/Photography" Religious Halo Gamer, so thats what initially sparked my interests, so I thought Id find out what it takes to make a set of moljinar armor.

There is the Halo Reach files thread, it's a sticky, the other stickies of course, Rhinoc's Reach file base, I'm not sure if that is a sticky but it does help, and the Halo costuming wikia.
Good luck and welcome to the 405th

I've heard that Ben Streeper's videos were excellent (not had a chance to watch them myself)
but i would say go through the stickies first.
also read through some of the threads in teh Creation Discussion forum and see how others are doing it.(how i learned)
In the end it will take a lot of trial and error, so don't get discouraged

There is no doubt you will still have questions. However, if you are serious about completing a costume, please consider joining the mentoring program. Here, experienced builders will be happy to provide one to one help with your build (Note that they will expect you to have studied the information in the
links provided above):
http://www.405th.com/showthread.php/...-Programme-2.0

When you post to that thread, give them some idea of what you want to do and they will assign a mentor that can help you.

Welcome to the 405th!
