Hail and greetings from snowy and frozy Finland!
I have cosplayed 5 years and year 2014 was massive step with my hobby: Space Wolf costume (Space Marine & Warhammer 40K, I assume most of you know these marines)
It was huge and challenging for me but project was success and I'm proud what I did.
How I turned here?
My Wolf project was so inspiring that my friend got excited to do his own Reach armor and continuous effect got myself and my girlfriend to excited too and even some of our friends.
So we gathered Halo Cosplay Squad in Finland's city named Oulu. Squad's name is Panther's Tear. I'm not sure how many members we truly have but I, my girlfriend and our fellow friend (who started spartan project first) are active to build armor's.
Here I shall post pics of my project and if you like (and if I'm allowed to post) I like to post my space wolf pics too.
Foam is familiar material to me and friend recommended to use EVA foam, so I chose that material for my S-411 project (Reach based armor)
One reason for EVA foam is that we have no place and no resources for using resin wiberglass, bondo etc.etc. And some materials what you used are hard to find in Finland and it's very expensive to get needed stuff from outside of Finland.
My spartan armor's gonna have some own custom stuffs (own additions onto armor etc.)
I'm weapon specialist in Panther's Tear so I'm customising heavy gun from Nerf Vulcan. I'm going to make ammo backpack and ammofeeder to contact backpack and weapon together.
Here's some pics of my S411 project so far.
Comments and advices are welcome. Specially I'm studying how you make props from foam and converting nerf guns.
Hail and Ki... uhm... BUILD!!!
