The story: We (Wife & 2 daughters) have been going to Dragon Con for over a decade. They do stuff. Me, well, not so much.
That’s should change in 2025. Go big or go home, right?
For the past 3-4 years, I was thinking about a 3d printer. This year, right after Dragon Con 2024, I asked Emily (daughter): If you will do a full halo kit with me, I will get the printer.
She said Yes!
I got the printer. K1-Max in late September.
Practice time = making lots of little simple stuff
Then my first “Project”. Aliens Pulse Rifle (From Aliens Pulse Rifle ) Considering it was a skill building exercise I think it came out OK. (Pics below)
And now…. The real project begins!

We love Halo, but we are remarkably casual fans. Emily has never played the game. I played it when it first came out, but that’s about it.
we’ve seen the movies and the recent TV series. Because we don’t know that much detail, we chose the Galactic Armory Halo kit.
We are planning a Red vs. Blue concept, She’s Blue, I’m Red. And we have some ideas for some possible mods. More on that later.
With 10 months until the Con, the goal is avoid a mad rush in the weeks before the Con. Anyone want to take the over under on that one? LOL (Kidding)
