[OpticChief]

Hey everyone! I joined the 405th back in 2018, mostly lurking and learning, but now I’m finally stepping forward with years of knowledge behind me. I’m a U.S. Army Sergeant and MP, and when I’m off duty, I’m usually modeling, printing, or tinkering with props.

I’ve been 3D modeling since 2015 and have worked on countless game projects and creative collaborations long before I started in prop fabrication. As of Today, I will be focused on Halo, Helldivers, and the universes I love—building detailed, accurate props that bring those worlds to life
First Name: Lance

Profession?: United States Military Police Officer

Age: 26
Favorite Hobby: 3D Modelling

Favorite part of Halo: When Master Chief gives the Covenant their bomb back in Halo 2

Favorite Halo: Halo 2

Favorite Video Game: Legitimately Halo. Halo was the first game I ever played as a kid, and I played the first one on the OG 2001 XBOX. It is forever the most nostalgic game for me, and I think it's one of those games that inspires and builds a kid's morals.

Other Interests: I enjoy cooking (went to culinary school and was a sous chef before the army), I enjoy gaming from time to time, I love going to the gym, and as of late, 3D printing is an obsession for me.
Favorite Food: Musubi (Hawaiian) and anything from Red Lobster

Favorite Band: Linkin Park (Only Chester Bennington's Linkin Park, not a huge fan of the new girl)

Favorite Movie(s): Halo Legends, Ridley Scott's Alien, Jurassic Park, X-Men Trilogy, All the Wolverine Movies, Deadpool, Batman, Anything Star Trek Next Generation Related, Stargate - SG1, Terminator, Back to the Future, (I could go on for a while im a huge popculutre fan, I love watching movies and eating Movie Theater popcorn)
What do you hope to learn here?: Anything and everything, but mainly I want to be a part of the community!
Have you built/made a costume before?: Yes, but nothing Halo or video game-related yet, or honestly, worthy enough to show off, but attempts have been made for Halo previously.
