Hi Adal! No need to send any photos for an application to join the 405th - you're a member now, one of us. Once you reach an account age of 90 days and 50 constructive posts, you'll move to being a full member where from there you can join a Regiment or apply for Deployment (both are completely optional).

This thread will give you a good idea of what both of them mean:

Hello and thank you!

That would be awesome! Have you worked quite a bit with fans, mics and/or LEDs?

Hello and thank you!

All of the above! If you want to pick my brain some, I’d recommend making a thread in the new recruits section and mention me in it. That way I’ll see it and you can ask away!

 

[Zylenko]

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

At least it's between two...

Hey Sam, welcome to the 405th!
I was the exact same, been here like 4 years but didn't post much for the first 2 lol.

Also, how to train your dragon, a man of culture I see!

I like the style of long overarching projects, really shows that its a real labour of love and the dedication put into them is phenominal.

Of course if you have any questions, any problems or anything else you need to know, feel free to ask and either myself or any of our other members would be happy to help you!

Hey Nick!

Welcome to the 405th!

Do you know what construction method you're looking to use for your ODST?

Haha thank you! When I found this website I was so excited because I couldn't really find anyone else out there that loved making halo costumes so I kinda thought i was alone until now!

 

[BaronArden]

First Name: Calvin

Profession: Pad Printing

Age: 24

Favorite Hobby: Cosplaying is obviously my go to, but considering the fact I love writing, reading, drawing, D and D, and painting I’ll sum it all up in “Art”.

Favorite Part of Halo: Literally any level with the Arbiter in it. Master Chief is my boy, but the Arbiter is just amazing and such a unique character. He never gets enough screen time I tell you. The Lore is also bussin'

Faviorite Halo: Toss up between Halo 2 and 3, although Infinite’s game play introduces a grappling hook, which is phenomenal.

Other interests: I enjoy working out, and good long hikes. As I mentioned before I enjoy writing too!

Favorite Video Game: Starcraft. Maybe Hollow Knight.

Favorite Food: Pastas, Pizzas, and sandwiches!

Favorite Band: Anything Hans Zimmer makes is gold.

Favorite Movies: Bionicle 3, because deep down I’m a child, and Star wars Rogue One. It’s the one Disney Star wars movie done right, and whenever I break into the old trilogies things get harry.

What do you hope to learn here?:
I hope to learn about cosplaying here, and to see what other tricks people use. I’m not shabby at cosplay, but there’s always room for improvement. Not to mention, I’ve often found myself the ‘costume friend’ in my circles. Seriously no one cosplays where I’m at and it’s depressing.

Have you built as costume before?: I’ve cranked out a few good costumes in my time. See, I am a huge Star Wars nerd so I did a Mandalorian costume and SEVERAL clone costumes. Got a little tired of the repetition in that area, and wanted to challenge myself so I made a Halo costume, and silently probed the site as I put the darn thing together.

Do you belong to any other costuming communities?: Nope. I am a lone, lonely loner.

Welcome!

I am new as well to the 405, but same w you.. I was the "costume friend" in my circles as well.. or how my mother puts any cosplay or historical reenactment I've done since I was knee high to a grasshopper it seems..

"oh, more of your dragon and dungeon group thing"

Embrace the nerd and carry on soldier! Welcome to your people!

Well my dude, you've hit the jackpot findind us so!
The 405th was founded on the passion of people and their creativity in regard to cosplay, I'm sure you'll fit in here with us just fine

 

[SPINNER1112]

Hey Nick!

Welcome to the 405th!

Do you know what construction method you're looking to use for your ODST?

I am using both EVA foam and Sintra. I have actually already started on it and have made a lot of progress I really need to start a build thread but not entirely sure how.

Making a build thread is easy! Just head over to the new recruits section and click on the new thread button on the top right. Once your in there just give it a title and post some pictures of your build!

If you want some inspiration, there’s a ton of great build threads on there to have a look at.
