First Name: Tyler
Profession: Student
Age: 17
Favorite Hobby: Playing, writing, and recording music
Favorite part of Halo: Man there's so much, but probably the overall atmosphere and mood created by the music and art. I also love the community aspects and customs!
Favorite Halo: Halo 3 and ODST
Favorite Video Game: Fallout New Vegas
Other Interests: I mentioned I'm big into music, aside from that, I love to mountain bike and be outdoors. I also like reading and tabletop games.
Favorite Food: Mango Lime Curry
Favorite Band: I listen to all kinds of music, but Tool always remains as one of my favorites.
Favorite Movie: Blade Runner for sure. I love me some cyberpunk!
What do you hope to learn here?: The thing I have experience in is making props out of foam, but other than that I am very new to this. I would love to learn how to paint, sew, and generally get better at making cosplay.
Have you built/made a costume before?: Yes, a couple years ago I made a Halo 3 marine using AndrewDFT's tutorial series.
Do you belong to any other costume communities? If so, which one(s)?: Nope

Hey there! I've been a long time halo fan. My first memories of halo was going over to my older cousins house and begging him to let me play halo 3. I've been doing cosplay for about 5 years now starting with DFT template ODSTs. I've been lurking on the 405th since then and have now decided to make my first public steps into the community. The reason for this is I'm starting a new project, my biggest yet, but I'll get to that later.

My first name is McCheyne (Mic-shane)
I'm a mechanical service technician at a tool and construction equipment rental company and I love my job.
I'll be 20 in two days
My favorite hobby is cosplay, shocker.
My favorite halo is Halo: Combat Evolved
Favorite video game is still probably Combat evolved with RDR2 and ODST as 2nd and 3rd favorite
A few other interests are figure collecting, homesteading, militaria
Favorite food is white bean chicken chili
A few of my favorite movies are To Kill a Mockingbird, Roman Holiday, The Odd Couple, Tombstone, DUNE, Annihilation, and Interstellar
My Favorite band is August Burns Red but more accurately my favorite music creator is Marty O'Donnell , no joke I listen to halo soundtracks everyday, its one of the most impactful parts of halo for me.
I hope to learn any new techniques to improve my maker skills and I hope to connect with more people and share ideas.
Yes I have made a few costumes, my first was a wwii captain America, then a couple DFT pattern odst, an elite that I don't know how I managed to make and then some clone armor.
No I'm not part of any other costuming communities.

Now for what caused me to get involved here. I love combat evolved and the artstyle. I don't have much love for anniversary though. The MK V from CE is also my favorite version of the Master Chief. Some of you may have seen Marcus Lehto's recent HD remaster of the MK V. I think its the best high quality version of the MK V and that's what has inspired me. I want to make it. I moved 6 months ago to a new sate and only recently have I been able to start setting up a workshop so all of my progress has been in my head. I also want to make an ma5b which i have already planned out pretty thoroughly.

But I need YOUR help! I need to commission someone to unfold Marcus Lehto's MK V files for Pepakura or armorsmith. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'll be making a new thread for my MK V build and will add it here when i do, please check it out if you're interested!
