Yeah, pissing off the boys' club that is 405th "leadership" is pretty easy. A while back they'd planned to write a Charter, rules for a costume club modeled after the 501st etc. so you could have official charity troops, costume standards, structure, etc... it never happened. I kept bringing it up and was booted.. I no longer build Halo stuff.
Today it's just another forum filled mostly with 13-year-olds and unfinished pep builds. The few adults seem to be clustered in 'prop groups' aka 'local cliques'.
But about the figurine- I'm not a big fan of that style. It's just light bodybuilding with OD and some hard surfaces. If you want to get big, eat and lift! [img]http://i6.ifrm.com/html/emoticons/cool.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='cool.gif' />
