[MysticalTater]

Name: Taylor or Tater Tot works too (Its been my nickname for several years now)

Location: Springfield, Missouri area

Costuming Since: I've done a lot of original costumes for about two years but I'm finally starting my first Halo cosplay this year

About Me: I grew up playing Halo since I was a kid. My dad and I would play together as often as we could so Halo has always had a special place in my heart. I've mostly done sewing for ren faires but have an interest in working with foam. It's been a dream of mine since I was a little to build my own Halo suit.

Favorite Cons: I've only been to small cons in my area but hope to someday make an appearance to Dragoncon and Planet Comicon

Costumes/Props: This year will be my first suit! I'm currently planning Halo 4 Master Chief suit as well as the Halo Infinite MK7.

Welcome to the 405th!! Can't wait to see your first build. I live in KC and I've been to two Planet Comicon so far. Its definitely worth it to go.

 

[FuriousFido]

Name: Dylan Ireland /FuriousFido
Location: Sandusky, Ohio
Costuming since: Pretty much started this year, 2023

About me: Been playing Halo since I was around 5-6 years old. First game I played on an Xbox 360 and been playing since then whenever I could. Always wanted to join the 405th but never thought I’d be able to or know enough to do so. I learned robotics, 3d printing, manual and computer machining, and the violin throughout high school and now work doing commercial refrigeration. Enjoy working with my hands and learning more.

Favorite Cons: I’ve only attended 1, Nashville Comicon 2023. Met Steve Downes and members of the 405th. Had an absolute blast and further motivated me to get into the 405th.

Costumes/Props: For Nashville Comicon 2023, my brother and I painted the Jazwares Master Chief helmet red and blue and wore dress clothing in the respective clothing to represent Red Vs Blue, both sporting a battle rifle pin.
Just had an ODST kit by Sean Bradley arrive this week, will be working on that for deployment.
I also have a Halo Reach SRS99-AM sniper 3d printed kit made by RockLobbster for the past 4 years that I’ve finally started. First time working with a 3d printed prop to be sanded and painted so looking forward to learning and getting my first cosplay together.

[OFiveTwo]

Well this has been a long time coming, but I suppose it's appropriate for my 50th post.

Name: OFiveTwo
Location: Minneapolis, Minnesota!
Costuming since: Officially, my first real venture into costuming was 2019. I had messed around with pepakura prior, but 2019 is when I purchased my first 3D printer.
About me: Most commonly recognized from TikTok! Long time Halo fan, fell in love with the Mk IV from Halo wars and never looked back. Generally here to spread positive vibes, make armor, and create content. Now go drink some water!
Favorite Cons: So far I've only been to one con: C2E2! It was amazing, and I cannot wait for next year. In the future, planning to attend Cleveland Gaming, Twin Cities Con, and maybe some other ones farther out!
Costumes/Props: Over the past few years, I've made quite a few suits!
Mk IV is obviously the front runner. I've made three "generations" over the past few years, with the Gen 3 being my current go-to!

GEN 3 GEN 2 GEN 1

I've also made some other suits, such as the MIRAGE armor from Infinite, and Jorge 052's armor from Halo Reach!

I think green is my color, don't you?

Always working on something new. Always bigger, always better!

 

[Skidmorpheus]

Must have firearms like Popeye with all that sanding an wheeling that turret cannon around! Respect
