Hello Everyone! It's a pleasure to make my first thread here, and I hope you'll all follow along with me on this crazy journey of cosplay!
A little backstory if you will. I grew up on Halo since my first endeavor playing the game a local 'video game arcade' for home consoles. My friend was having their birthday party with a 16 player LAN set up for Halo: CE all in one room with La-z-boy chairs, perfect for shouting across each other. Then, they had set up a few Online enabled Halo 2 systems for play. From the moment I played my first few online matches, I was hooked. And so I got my first Xbox 360, had a hilarious time watching my parents try to set up the internet for the thing, and play my first home console online. And the rest is history. The countless hours of Halo 2 and Halo 3 Online multiplayer, custom games, campaigns, you name it!
I've been cosplaying since 2011, and one of the all time 'big dream' cosplays was a suit of armor, but it always seemed so out of reach. Now, with the ease of use of a 3D printer, but far more importantly, the funds and time to devote to this endeavor, it's time to make the kid in me scream with excitement! This isn't just fulfilling a childhood dream though. This is also a learning experience for myself. Relearning that I am fully capable of learning new skills and breaking my comfort zone to try and get the results I've been scared to fail on. I look forward to earning my place with you all in this awesome community!
I'm in the 405th discord under the same name, so feel free to say 'Hey!'
The armor I am printing for this is Galactic Armory's ODST Rookie Set! Anything relevant, I'll try to make sure to post links for references to help others and myself for tracking!
The first pictures here are some of my first attempts to print the helmet on an AnkerMake M5. It all began with the first step of learning a new medium.
