FYI to anyone not in the discord. A thread has been made in there for updates, mainly for day of communications and up to the minute updates during the con. Check it out here to stay informed during the weekend: https://discord.com/channels/279500489882730497/1228122741610254336

Yeah, I'm hearing that too. Really not impressed. I had always planned on coming to after party shenanigans for sure, I just don't wanna support them now ya know? But in a few days or a week I'll be less mad...maybe. Either way, I'll be seeing you all for sure.

All good. I'm doing my best to put aside my bitterness and actually go to the expo, so I'll be around to cover etc. as well as Zylenko being an extra available body too.

... How so? Compelling story, interesting characters with backstory and motivations. I don't understand people saying the writers are "lazy" or not putting in effort. This show drips with effort and attention

I would say that's a perfect availability. On the schedule, check what shifts only have 2 or 3 people and sign up for whatever shifts you want, I know we usually like to have the 2-costume 2-non thing going on and we are a little light on a few shifts there. Set up at the moment is just 2 of...

This is really well said. I enjoyed the first season even if it had some moments and choices I maybe didn't like, the sheer amount of blind hatred towards it pushed me way the other way into "No, I liked it all" territory. Season 2 has been fantastic, but still, the loud reaction in most...

We absolutely will

Okay everyone, I've added a section at the bottom of the signup sheet to add your name confirming you will be working the booth in some capacity at some point over the event. This way if you don't know what shifts you can/want to work yet, we can at least get a headcount of who will be there...

You got it. As long as you know you're double-shifting yourself every single day there... So technically that's 5 hours straight with no break. Half costumed half not. Of course, we can try and find times for you to run off and get food etc. but at the moment we're looking pretty light staff...

There is also a really good paid one from Instinct Creative with an AI chip and mold for the back https://www.wf3d.shop/collections/instinctcreative3d/products/halo-the-series-master-chief-helmet-3d-file-kit

There's a great shot in the Unclassified that came out before the first episode showing them suiting up Chief and putting on the shoulder. Shows that the bicep is a wrap-around thing with the shoulder armor attached to it instead of the slide-on thing that we usually see.

That's awesome! I love the look of the uniforms in the series. Do you have a plan for the cuff stripes and rank/medal insignia etc yet? Curious if you're going to 3D print them or make them out of something else etc.

Now you just have to finally decide which suit you wanna build... :P

I second the no interior supports sentiment. I don't print any helmets or similar things with dome supports. Sure, it looks messy on the inside but that's where foam goes. Saves a ton of print time and material. Also definitely look at getting Armorsmith. For the cost of what...2 rolls or...
