    My MA5C

    Awesome job there Hell-J. Keep 'em coming. Amazing what you can do with some corregated cardboard and patience. Nice progress on the ODST helmet as well.

    Sean’s Guidelines for a Better Forum

    Nice topic. It's one of those that had to be discussed sooner rather than later. I admit I was guilty of at least "asking before searching". Yes, SEARCH is your friend. May I suggest that this be posted along with other "Forum Rules" on the 405th.com/forums home page. Possibly in large bold...

    Am i the only one without a box for H3

    You're not alone. I am scrounging for cash for an H3 version of the Xbox to compliment the Legendary I just bought. *Sigh* mortgages and utilities and taxes. Some day, 405th youth, you will understand. All for the love of our hobbies. You could always pick up a "pre-owned" 360 at the Game...

    Kudos to the 405th on Spike TV tonight

    Just wanted to say kudos to the 405th and its resident stars: Adam, Sean, BlueRealm (and was that Red hanging with Adam?) It was awesome to see your works featured on Spike TV this evening. I can only hope to complete my casted armor in time for Halo-ween 2007 and this only inspires me more...

    Dev's Energy Sword Attempt

    D. Awesome work so far. Keep it up. Can't wait to see the final prop in action. Yes, it's true. Kids will make you re-arrange your prop-making endeavors, but ya gotta love 'em (kids that is).

    cost

    Sounds about right. I already spent close to $400 just on materials alone. And I am looking at spending another $800-$1000 on more molding/casting material. But that is just me. Probably the least costly is Pepakura and Cardboard Armor. Check out Pepakura and Cardboard Armor section of this...

    How to "houslter" a gun on your back

    Hi "J". Don't take offence to what others say. I don't consider myself a "fanatic" either. I just like the armor and costuming (cosplay) in general. I, too have been trying to figure a way to mount a weapon on the back. My plan is to use magnets from an old computer hard drive - believe me...

    Merc Studios Armor Progress Molding/Casting Begins!

    It's a great learning experience. This is the first time I have ever used the mold/cast process for anything. I hope to use the techniques that I've learned to go back to improve some of my previous costumes/props (like my Proton Pack for example - it is currently made out of MDF and has some...

    Merc Studios Armor Progress Molding/Casting Begins!

    Just wanted to show progress of my Spartan Armor. See my gallery under Merc Studios Armor gallery A note for those of you who are thinking about venturing into the world of molding/casting your own armor: it is not as hard as I thought. But it IS time consuming. But then again, seeing the...

    Helmet Mold

    Thank you for posting the video links. I really gives me some motivation to complete the rest of the armor that I am making. I completed my handguard mold, but I will be using the brushed on mold method for the rest of the armor. I am also planning to rotocast/slushcast the armor from there...
