Favorite Hobbies: drawing, writing, video games, the beach

Favorite Movie(s): Princess Mononoke, the whole MCU, Shawshank Redemption to name a few...
Other: I met some of my closest friends when I overheard them talking about Halo at a bar. I have since taken the plunge into cosplay, and I love it. Halo Outpost: Philly was phenomenal, and I had such a blast seeing all the great builds!

Name: Kyla
Profession: 3rd Year Apprentice Carpenter
Age: 24
Favourite Hobby: besides cosplay, crocheting
Favourite Part of Halo: The Lore; it's fascinating.
Favourite Video Game: If I'm being honest, It's have to Super Smash Bros... It's one of the only games that I really got to play regularly growing up.
Favourite Food: Pulled Pork or Sushi
Favourite Movie(s): I probably have to say Inception just because of the how many times I watched it after it was released.
Other: I'm VERY new to the world of Halo. I've played Halo 3 (I think?) maybe three times at a neighbour's house when it first came out. But through cosplay I've gained more of an interest and have had friends pestering me (you know who you are) to join in on here to help as I dive deeper into the world of Halo and Armour making.

Oh my gosh, is that world famous cosplayer Special K Cosplay?!

MasterQueef, good to have you on board.

There are a lot of good tutorials already out there on YouTube, if you look up Evil Ted, punished props, or similar channels, that should give you enough video tutorial to get you started.

A gentle reminder to keep your language clean, please. There are a ton of younger people and older people who don't take lightly to dropping harsh language.

As for resources go check out the armory. There are a ton of good files to get you started.

MasterQueef understands politeness and will continue to do so without cussing good sir. Thanks for the tips
