Have you built/made a costume before?: I have not, I just started my first build
Do you belong to any other costume communities? If so, which one(s)?: I do not, but for now I am happy to get involved with the community here
Other: I have wanted to make a suit for years but never got around to it. I started my first suit which is the standard Mk VI from Halo 3 (always loved the look of that armor). I have been teaching myself how to do the most I can out of EVA foam, don't have access to 3D printing and pepakura builds didn't work well in my favor. I am fairly new to costume making and prop building so any help is appreciated. I hope to get more involved in this community and see everybody's projects as well as share mine.
Also profile pic is of my 2000 Camaro SS, may change once I get my suit finished

mac and cheese is so goood
