Hello, my name is William and I have been making props/costumes for roughly ten years on and off. I first started back in middle school with some halo helmets as a side hobby and by the end of highschool I had made my first full suit of ODST armor. I put the hobby on hold for a year or two after that and then picked it back up when a buddy of mine finally dragged me to my first convention. I then made the Andrew DFT ODST trooper armor for the following year which I painted to be a crossover of Halo and the anime Bleach. After that I made some Enginium armor from MHA and that same year met some great people from the 405th who first floated the idea of joining to me. After seeing their armor I decided to go all out and make the MK IV armor from halo wars and even won a contest at a local con. Then this past year I ran into the same people again and after hanging out for a while they reminded me to look into joining so here I am. I look forward to meeting lots of new people and learning some new techniques.

Favorite part of Halo: The ODST aesthetic
Favorite Halo: Halo 3 ODST
Favorite Video Game: ^
Favorite Food: BBQ baby back ribs
Favorite Movie: The Dark Knight

Hello I'm Drew and I did not realize there were so many ODST fans, 4 other people before me on this page alone mentioned it! I also made the DFT templates for foam as my first foam project a couple of years ago and it turned out pretty ok, but I felt it could be better so I'm now in progress on making the Hero's Workshop foam Pepakura files which I might make a thread about to ask some questions as I go. Last year I made Fallout New Vegas Veteran Ranger armor out of foam for myself and a friend as well as a duster, but I never got around to making the helmet. So yeah, I hope I can get some tips and pointers now that I'm here!

[RogueOneSpartan]

Name: Lev

Country: Slovenija (Europe)

Favorite hobby: Reading sci- fi books.

About games: I don’t play Halo or any other game, but I realy like cool armor designs from games.

Favorite food: Home made mexican and Chinese dishes.

Sport: Competitive rowing.

Favorite movies and series: Star Wars, The Mandalorian, Lost In Space and other sci-fi stuff

Favorite Halo armors: Master chief's mjolnir mark VI, Kelly-087's mark VI, Gabriel Thorne's recruit armor and Buck's helljumper.


I found this site while searching for information on making armors at home. At first I was focused on Clone troopers, but then I changed my mind.

I would realy like to be part of the European Regiment, go to different events and meet European Cosplayers. I really want to start building an ODST Rookie armor, but as we are now in quarantine I am not sure if I can order some EVA foam. I really have a lot of questions a lot of questions (for example: Can I make a thread asking European members for advice on where I can buy foam, what type of foam and other elements - like glues and colours for my armor? ), so I am really happy that I found this site and I hope I won't be overlooked by other members. I wish you much health and joy during these times.
