    Cleveland Gaming Classic Info and Roll Call: September 19-21, 2025

    With the 405th having a booth space and acting as Exhibitors 405th members will have slightly more access and ability than the average attendee. Generally, when the 405th is given exhibitor passes to a convention that comes with the ability to bring in bins/totes/transport carts, and the like...

    Timmy Helmet Pepakura Files

    For what it is worth, there are also no 3D Printing files out there, that I can find, either free or paid for the Timmy helmet. Perhaps because of it coming out later in Halo 5's life cycle, or that it is a 343 Easter Egg/Inside Joke, it seems to have not really caught on in more main stream...

    Timmy Helmet Pepakura Files

    The only Timmy Pepakura file was not released publicly and was a personal project from a person who is no longer involved in this Community.

    Armor sizing issue

    Owen and Hazel specifically were reach style suits, but the same concept can apply here. On their suits a section of the forearm, analogous to the piece Clint highlights in his post, was cut out, it was then attached with elastic. Elastic glued to the piece and then to the rest of the forearm...

    Need helping making a visor

    SpazStix makes a chrome spray paint that can be used on the interior of your visor. While it does not go on as smooth as an airbrush paint and as such has less clear visibility, it is available on Amazon and does not require additional equipment like an airbrush or compressor. For small...

    Armor sizing issue

    The Two Part wrist system that Clint mentions above is actually how the Owen and Hazel suits made for Outpost Discovery worked, as well as the suits in the live action Paramount series. It was the best way to achieve a tight fit at the wrist keeping the whole forearm scaled appropriately.

    Hi I’m new here

    Hello Joe. 405th Membership is tied directly to participation here on the Forum, and with your local Regiment if you chose to do so. A completed costume is not required to be a member of the 405th. See our New recruit and New Member FAQs for more information on the voluntary levels of 405th...

    1st Build How to attach a visor on a ODST helmet? specially if it doesn't fit perfectly. HELP

    You can attempt to slowly heat it with a heat gun and gently bend it to fit, but I would be afraid of ruining the finish on the visor. Very early on in around 2008 I attempted to heat and change the bend in a gold iridium motorcycle visor to better fit my second Pepakura helmet and was not...

    1st Build How to attach a visor on a ODST helmet? specially if it doesn't fit perfectly. HELP

    Unfortunately with the visor and helmet being from two different sources they will not match up. Every maker will invariably add in slight variations to their sculpt, physical or digital, even when attempting to create the same helmet, and then differences in scaling will just magnify those...

    Name ideas and Voting for Ohio, Michigan, and Indiana Battalion

    Great Lakes is a very good choice. A name based on the specific geographic location makes it easy for people not in the Battalion or Regiment to easily know and understand the location of the Battalion, and all 3 proposed states touch and interact with the Great Lakes and they feature in each...

    Has anyone tried using carbon fiber instead of fiberglass for making a costume?

    As a reminder for everyone, discussing adding additional strength and durability to our costumes is fine, but keep in mind that we are not qualified and as such do not allow discussions for making armor or costumes that offer any level of protection.

    DragonCon 2025

    Yes. As you can see from the previous pinned threads in this section, the 405th participates in the Parade, a Photo Shoot, and a Dinner each year, and will again this year. The Southern Regiment's Command Staff traditionally posts these sign up threads in July.
