Hey howdy! Been a hot minute since I've found myself in a new genre costume wise but definitely no stranger to Halo.

I'm an EMT and special effects artist out of the Carolinas who, when not battling 3D printers and cosplay, find myself in the woods hunting, fishing, or rock hounding.

The original Halo is what got me into this whole thing and it holds a good place in my heart between the LAN parties (if that shows my age a bit) and watching my brother play.

I have primarily belonged to the Mando Mercs Club with several approved kits with them and Rebel Legion so I'm familiar with costume requirements.

Hoping to connect with others locally and further advance my skills with 3D sculpting while I dive into my first Halo kit, one that doesn't have any files available. Sneak peek attached ;)

All in all I plan to start a build thread once I get a little further in my stages, but in the meantime, I look forward to seeing what new folks I meet on this adventure.

Hello all,
I'm really new to the costume community, life hasn't presented much opportunity but I'm hoping to make it more of a thing.

I've loved the Halo series since it released, Reach being my favorite but I love most all of the main series games. I'm in my mid-thirties with a wife and kids. I work for an electrical engineering company for critical infrastructure. I'm currently listening to the audio books as well to deepen my knowledge of the lore

I plan on working primarily with EVA and would like to incorporate electronics. Long term, I'd like to eventually get into 3d printing too but that'll likely be years down the road.

Admittedly, this site is a little confusing for me to navigate. I'll happily take any advice and I'm open to conversation. I'm way more likely to respond on disord, which my name on the 405th is Plebus_Vox.
Thanks for having me!
