Hey guys, finished most of my suit, wanted to give it a test run down here in So Cal. This was today at the anime expo in LA. Ran into some ODSTs (one who said he was a member here, so i hope he might see this), and of course, the chief, good times.

rvb18, thanks, i left a comment giving him my sn on his twit page, has a photo of me up already!
Sunlight, yeah there was an old snake walking around, last year that same guy was wearing one of those $800 store bought costumes, I hope he gets good use out of it.
 
Hey Traghatti, it was great meeting you and getting to see your suit in person. I wish we had more time so I could look at your suit more. Darn needy photographers, give me a minute so I can enjoy seeing other people's work. =P Oh well, enjoying your WIP thread and photobucket now.

I see you're going to ComicCon, so we'll definitely have to meet up sometime. :) I'll be there Thurs/Fri/Sun. Couldn't score a saturday ticket unfortunately.

The other ODST is Mikiru from Cosplay.com. Don't know if he has a 405th account. His costume was commissioned from Savvytank from the 405th forums, who does awesome work. According to Savvytank, the shins are team win, the shoulders and middle stomach plate are Ben Streeper's, the grenades are Joe's (NewSpartanCreator) and Fluffy helped with the pep work. The SMG looked like a modified muckle cast.

The Old Snake is a good friend of mine. And this is what he did with his store bought MC. =P

Again, awesome suit, and great meeting you!
 
woah, who's the Mark V ?
the armor looks great!
I would love to ask them questions about the lights haha
 
the wife wanted to go in here ONI recon ODST but it was just to late to get a way up there for just one day but she has a pass to CC so she will get to finally show it off there.
 
Trooper, thanks for the compliments! my hat is off to your and yours too, your suit was pretty detailed. Yeah I'll be at comicon all 4 days, ill probably have my computer with me, so shoot me an email or something before/when you're down there. It's funny that old snake is your friend, i ran into him last year, think i got a pic with him too :) As for the other ODST dude, at least its cool that his costume was done via 405th personnel. What hotel are you staying in in san diego? I'm gonna have to walk down the street in costume to get to the convention center :$
 
My home's a 10-15 minute drive away, so I'm just going to commute...parking's going to suck though!

Here's a couple more pics from AX old snake took:

This was my first time cosplaying at a convention and it was so much fun! =D Hopefully we can do it again next year. x]

Helljumper, glad to know you're around on here, will you be goin down to comic-con too?
 
Haha cool! yeahhh believe it or not there was a reason why I did that pose xD

My girlfriend Cosplayed as Chii and she was next to me doing the same pose haha
 
Hah, well I just bought the molds for them from Joe, so we could try that sometime. =P

Another pic someone took of me at AX

I forgot to put the Mickey name tape on the helmet and had to hunt down masking tape. Thank goodness for artist's alley!


We'll definitely have to set a day to meet up again next year and a time to just go out, grab dinner, and swap notes and such away from the hordes of photographers.

Trooper, the light behind that first picture makes you look more spectacular, hehe. Definately would like to trade notes, I don't really know anything about molding armor, I've read a few posts but since I don't have the cash flow to get into it I'll stick to the fiberglass/pep stuff for now. Jumper, sorry you can't make it to expo this year, mb i'll go to AX next year. I'd also like to go to E3, but for only 3 days its super expensive ;o
