I am putting this thread here for people to talk about, and show off pictures, of their first costumes/the costumes that got them into cosplay. So, go crazy.
 
Well, I would always buy power ranger costumes as a kid even though it wasn't Halloween. I fricken loved dressing up as a power ranger. I also loved the jedi outfits from the star wars movies, and was always disapointed with the printed on robes on the costumes at the local store. I eventually commissioned some robes from a Chinese vendor on eBay. They were awesome and screen accurate. Still have them to this day and with a little snip here and there could probably still fit me. After that I really got into cosplay. You can check my previously started threads and count my halo projects given up on (mostly hint hint) but other than those, Ive also got a 11th doctor outfit. my VERY first "cosplay" was when I was 5. I dressed up as pikachu fro halloween. Wish I had pictures XD
 
My first halo suit that I build was halo JFO from halo reach. I used color foam mats and took me 3weeks to finished and the second one was Carter also from halo reach and my third one was blood reven space marine from warhammer.

Hi guys I'm still doing my halo gear after two years but the study and reading up is most of it as I keep getting new ideas along the way and need to study more on the topic again......Obviously this is getting a little out of hand...

http://screencast.com/t/sN8fjwpL ..... this is my CQB in pep and resin soaked

http://screencast.com/t/VRkoIHSElQFl ....this is now Kevlar and metal bonded on the inside. All the resin is fire rated polyester.

http://screencast.com/t/7Joqq64lC ...... this is the 6 mm Lexan vac-formed visor and a better formed one fitted.

I'm doing a grenadier torso and the rib canister will be a functional re-breather while a raspberry pi will go just above in the armoured breast plate to control leds and fans but mainly to interface with the missile pod which will be converted to a tachyon particle accelerator......See! this is getting way out of hand...80)

for me its always been halo weapons started with a pistol and the biggest thing I've built is [redacted] so I'm happy but what am I going to do with fifth teen br55?

My first build was Master Chief, for my 8 year old son. He killed the costume contest that year. Not even close. :)

Foam suit with pep helmet. Built from start to finish in 29 days. I had never heard the word pepakura until October 1st. Consumed everything I could read on it, and jumped in. Had the helmet finished in about 10 days, and then realized I could probably pull of a foam suit by Halloween. He still talks about that. So happy I could do it for him.
 
Im on my first the mk 6 that when done will be about 6 6 in height. Im 6 2 200 so it will be a bigger muscle version. When done I plan to made a mk 7 for my girl and an mk 7 for myself. Will submit photos when upload them from my phone
