SPARTAN II

Sr Member
Keeping in line with the other regiments, this thread will be used to introduce ourselves. I thought the Australian regiment had a good format for this, so I "borrowed" it, lol.

Name: Put what your preferred name is here, whether it's a real name or a moniker.
Location: Give a general geographic region to help find others near you!
Costuming since: When did you start costuming/building?
About me: Tell us a little about yourself. Twitter profile or autobiography.
Favourite Cons: What cons are we likely to see you at?
Costumes/Props: Share some of your work, completed or in-progress.

I'll go first...

Name: SPARTAN II
Location: Ottawa, ON
Costuming since: Um... haven't actually finished a set of armour yet :p Been building props since 2001, though.
About me: Been in the prop hobby for about 17 years. Started off in Star Trek, then moved on to HALO and am working on expanding into other genres/franchises. In the last few years I started getting into the production end of the hobby, kitting out a few hand-made props. Been a fan and ardent follower of the HALO games since the first one came out. I regularly play through the entire set of them at a stretch on my Xbox 360 Slim.
Favourite Cons: Ottawa Comic Con, Ottawa Pop Expo (smaller version of OCC), Toronto Fan Expo
Costumes/Props: Please visit this page --> movie props, film costumes and wardrobe by Eric Ardros

Heyas!

Name: chrisy
Location: Toronto, Ontario
Costuming since: In the planning stages for my first build! Will be a mark IV from Halo 4 MP (hybrid between wetwork, recon, enforcer) :D. Impact Props is inspiring me greatly for this build!
About Me: Been a big Halo fan since playing the first game and reading the books as a wee lass. My dream cosplay has always been wearing Halo armour...and the 405th community really has motivated me to pursuit this. Even though I'm not hands on by any means (doesn't making a scarf count? :p), you guys here really make me feel its possible to attempt this project.
Favourite Cons: Anime North; Fan Expo Toronto
Costume/Props: I've started getting into cosplaying last year. Past cosplays included Homura (Magica Madoka), Kuristina (Stein; Gate), and a really sketchy comic book Harley.
Other dream Cosplays: Hexadecimal (ReBoot), (Ezio) Assassin's Creed, Killing Joke inspired Joker
 
Name: Ralph or call me Spraynoob.
Location: Toronto, Ontario
Costuming since: around 2006?
About me: I've been introduced to Halo when Halo 2 was starting up. Since then I've been a loving fan. A friend of mine who also a 405th member, blahhh (if i can recall off hand), introduced me to 405th back in 2006. We started strong as noobs and continue on as pros (I guess lol). Since joining I've been crafting with my hands, even helped a couple friends with their costumes. I just honestly hope I can see 405th grow into a more "official" group in the near future.
Favourite Cons: Just the Local cons here in Ontario, Fan Expo Canada, Anime North. Just to add as well, small events such as Xbox events.
Costumes/Props: Finished an ODST suit just last year, since then i've been working on other wip: Kouta Hirano from HighSchool of The Dead, another ODST suit, Japanese Samurai Warrior. I'm honestly pushing for prop making over costumes, but its fun doing both! (I'll come back to post a link to pictures of my suit.)
 
Name: Allayna
Location: Sudbury, in the great-white-north!
Costuming since: ~Currently in the production stage~
About me: I still remember the video Adam Grumbo posted of his Master Chief costume, patrolling stores. Halo enthusiast at heart, as it was Halo 3 that got us hooked on the xbox. One day, I plan to make my own Spartan build.
Favourite Cons: Fan Expo, DragonCon (haven't attended any, but already booked for next year). Although I'd like to expand this list in the future.
Costumes/Props: Currently working on a Destiny Warlock for Halloween. Will upgrade detailing and props afterwards.
 
Name: Mike
Location:
Mississauga, Ontario
Costuming since:
I have always been building things here and there. I started to seriously build a suit in 2010 for the release of Halo Reach.
About me:
Student, cosplaying and building props as a hobby. Loved Halo since 2001. Seeing the happy reactions of people seeing Master Chief makes me want to pursue costuming more. Love learning new techniques and exploring new mediums.
Favourite Cons:
You will see me at Anime North, Toronto Comic Con, Fan Expo and any Xbox events.
Costumes/Props:
I have completed a Halo Reach Noble Six costume, Halo Reach Master Chief, Iron Man Helmet, and countless other helmets and small props.

Location:
Calgary. AB
Costuming since:
January 2014
About me:
I'm a semi famous Youtuber! https://www.youtube.com/user/Skoopa92 over 1000 subscribers, i do all sorts of Halo related things, including Machinimas, and Stop motion videos, the latter of which im SUPER OP at! lol i came in the top ten for the Megabloks Halo toymation contest, for my video "Silly Sangheili". Subcribe so i have some super cool fans! coz out of 1000 subcribers, only like 50 of them actually watch all my videos! I've got a huge collection of Halo action figures, and made my own style of stop motion, where there's no actual movement, only key frames, sort of like a storybook i guess?, lol. I'm also a pretty good graphic designer, i made the Canadian Regiment banner!
Favourite Cons:
The Calgary Expo
Costumes/Props:
An attempt at an ODST costume, following DafrontlineTroopers tutorials / Halo Reach Spartan, following SpacemeatTheCosplays tutorials. I also made a Keaton mask and Lens of truth from The Legend of Zelda as Christmas presents for two of my friends. For my ODST build, i made a plasma pistol from scratch, which turned out pretty awesome, i used a heater with a circle grate to burn in the covenant texture, and for my Spartan build i have an Assault rifle, and two Magnums! I've also built Captain Falcons helmet, but made it to small... lol
 
Name: Cpl Shepard
Location: Ontario
Costuming since: 2010
About me: Painting/Woodworking mostly. Also motorcycle enthusiast. Always willing to go a few rounds in ODST firefight.

Name: FANGS or Angela
Location: Edmonton, Alberta
Costuming since: I've costumed most of my life but not to this level until about 11 years ago.
About me: I've a bit of a costume junkie. My forte is sewing but over the years I've built a lot of armor costumes from ABS or Styrene kits to 100% handmade foam and worbla costumes. That last big build, literally in terms of size and time, was a Warhammer Sister of Battle. I love making historical dresses and movie replicas. I'm a proud 11 year member of the 501st Legion. I own a PS3. I have several PS3 games. I suck at all of them. Universally. But it's a good stress reliever I find to yell at the TV for awhile. For all of the poor characters in those video games? Sorry about your luck of ending up at my house. hahahaha
Favourite Cons: I'll be at Celebration 7 in Anahiem in under two weeks and I'm always at DragonCon - this will be my 10th year! I'm always also at the Calgary Comic and Entertainment Expo and the Edmonton Comic and Entertainment Expo. Our 501st Garrison always has a photobooth at each of those two Cons to raise money for Make a Wish or the Kids with Cancer Society.
Costumes/Props: My to do list is WAY too long but I can't help but add on new and cool things when I see them. I have a Sean Bradley ODST kit that is partially finished and I hope to have that for the Edmonton show in September. I also hope to have my Anderson (Dredd) gear done for the same show. I'm well on my way for gathering items needed for my DCon plans including the Fairy Godmother from the new Cinderella and a Destiny Warlock. I also have about hmmm......8 501st costumes to build. Oy!

Very nice Phoenix. I've come across a few pictures of your work around the Internet before. Didn't realize it was you.
 
Your Mass Effect outfit looks very familiar, I believe we had a good chat about costume building at Ottawa Pop Expo a couple years ago. I was working at a friend's vendor booth that year. Very nice to have you here! :)
 
Greetings all, new here, well not new exactly, I had an account 2 years ago but it seems to have vanished. I have had the pleasure of parading with the fine folks down in Atlanta during Dragon Con in 2013 and figured it was high time I got off my armored ass and joined for real. So here goes:

Name: Rob, but most of my friends in the cosplay community call me Chief on account of my armour
Location: Ottawa ON
Costuming since: Seriously started cosplaying in 1993 but my first armour build was in 2013
About me: Retired Navy veteran who now writes databases for the military. I ran the Klingon fan club KAG Kanada for the past five years before retiring from that in November of last year.
Favourite Cons: I am HR staff for Ottawa and Montreal Comiccon and Ottawa Pop Expo, I also attend HalCon in Halifax, DragonCon in Atlanta and will be attending FanExpo this year
Costumes/Props: Examples of my costumes and props can be found on my Facebook page Kilt Of Doom Cosplay. Also, the Master Chief shown in PhoenixArmoury's photos above is me


If there's anything more you'd like to know fire me off a message
 
Welcome to the Canadian Regiment Kilt! I had to hunt a Dragon Con parade video to see for myself. I love seeing everyone in armour across social media, so sure enough you are visible and look great. :cool
 
Thanks! Looking forward to getting to know our members.

Some of us in the Ottawa area are also part of the NCR Heavy Armour group. Check us out on FB and if interested, feel encouraged to apply for membership.
