I initially found the Facebook page, and then joined here. I'd love to make an urban odst outfit like pictured (not sure about the shoulder armor yet) or a cross of an Umbrella Corporation Soldier and ODST

Yooo I was stationed in Idaho for 7 years, and just recently moved back to the Springs (719). I also am into shooting in motorcycles. Message me sometime my friend.

Hey everyone! I'm Chris from New Zealand. I know we have a New Zealand regiment and I'd love to join it eventually. I played a lot of the Halo games in high school and college but that faded away to concentrate on other things in life. I caught the first episode of the new Halo series and I fell back in love with the halo world pretty hard. I really like making things and recently got into 3d printing so I thought I'd give making a Spartan cosplay a go. I've started printing a needler and have ordered a CR10 to help with making the bigger pieces.

I'm really excited to get to know you all, thanks for reading
