Hello! username: Rigel17
from southern Utah (used to live all over northern utah and idaho as well)
Reach by far is my favorite
Im completely new to cosplay and building, but i think ill stick with foam crafting from pepakura files and 3d printing for smaller parts. (thinking of getting my own 3d printer in the future if i like it)
ive been looking around for a cool halo costume for sometime, and i realized i could just try making something really cool on my own and that sounded really fun! i have some free time before starting my physical therapy DPT program in a year so i thought why not
I was 8 years old when halo 3 launched, all i really remember was watching youtube promos like "starry night" and feeling super hyped, but ultimately i just found the game under the christmas tree and played it from there with my brothers. miss those days...

If you could write a little blurb about where you were in 2007 at the release of halo 3 I’d love to hear!, T'was September 25th 2007. I had celebrated my first birthday 27 days before Halo 3 had released. About 7 years later in 2014 was the first time I had actually played Halo 3.

Hey all.

Username: Ignus Vam in most places.
State: The Gem State; Idaho
Favorite halo game: Reach or CE tie for my favorite. The stories and gameplay are just phenomenal.
Preferred building method: Hard to say, I haven't worked with all the new fancy ones, 3d printing seems to have the best potential though of good results and little weight, so probably that one. I used to do a bunch of foam carving and fabric stuffing or soaked cardboard and plaster.. all those were pretty rough. Being able to just print, paint, and go is absolutely insane for costume and prop design.
Biggest inspiration for your armor: I really like the armorset I've made in Reach, but a lot of the designs are real neat.
Socials: I'm kinda weird in that I don't really have any. I don't like social media much, this place is the most "social media" I've ever really engaged with. Only have a twitter for name-squatting, don't really have any other social medias but Discord and Steam, if those count.

Where were you when Halo 3 dropped: I had preordered Halo 3 from my local CD World game store. I couldn't be bothered to stay up for the midnight release, though my brother did. But I went by the next day and picked it up.. I don't remember if I got my 360 that day, or if I had it just prior for a few other games... But once I got it, I ran home and started a few day marathon of playing all the halo games at the time with my friend. CE, 2, then onto the shiny new 3. That was a fun week, and a LOT of that "Gamer fuel" halo 3 mountain dew.
