Hey lads, my name is Connor, and I'm from the Fort Wayne, Indiana area. Been huge into movies and comics and game since I was a boy, and now that I seem to have the courage to start building, I am in love with the whole scene from dissecting household trinkets for costume parts, to geeking out over new painting techniques.
Currently a college senior in terms of credit, and working at a Carson's. I have done a N7 armor build as my very first full costume, and a Uther Lightbringer build with a pulsing 555-timer circuit hammer. Also my first attempt to utilize electronics in my builds. (The hammer is signed by Scott Kurtz and Patrick Rothfuss, so its now a family heirloom).
Currently putting work in on my Mark 9 Ironman armor, which is my first exposure to micro-controllers and I am already intoxicated with the possibilities they offer. I am looking forward to sharing my work with you all and hopefully I can be of help to my fellow makers and builders in turn.
How I came here you ask. I've always wanted a Maltese Falcon statue but knowing the typography of the bird so well everything I looked at on line I could see had mistakes, and also who would want a resin or plaster bird, it had to be cast metal. So I decided to make my own and started to collect imagery. Years ago I also had a business trip to San Fransisco and from my research discovered one of the actual birds was in the restaurant Johns Grill in SF. Great I thought, I'll pay a visit and get all the imagery I need to fill in the blanks. That Falcon was stolen from Johns Grill literally while I was in the air on the way there. So infuriating!!! But it just tripled my desire to have one and during my subsequent research I came across Adam Savages YouTube clip of his Dingus sculpt in which he not only led me to an auction catalog of one of the Falcons which proved invaluable but He also made mentioned this group, hence here I am.
