not quite, it has been lightly weathered though that's hard to see in photos coz the metallic paint shines through from underneath :) since Dare isn't as battle worn as the others I didn't want to go over the top with weathering, especially when I just have to redo the thighs and bracers with...

Okies, finally got back to this after other costumes, getting sick, Christmas, more being sick, getting injured and more being sick... It's been an annoying and trying few months! This is being worn for Oz ComicCon Perth pretty much in the current state in the photos below, though there is a...

I look forward to seeing how this new forum set up goes :) It looks a lot newer and refreshed than the old forum did.

Sorry this is a bit late getting up, been busy with other commitments, real life and all that jazz. Better late than never though right? :) I’ve taken photos of all the pieces against a black tablecloth so that they stand out better. NOTE: I have a pretty good sewing machine. I worked out at...

The base pattern is Butterick B5927 (womens semi fitted jacket). Used a combo of Patterns C and D, then did extensive adjusting and making my own pieces based on the pattern to create the detailing- Ill go into more detail later. Pants are just a plain pants pattern with zip up front, like the...

Thanks blackout11c for your assistance, and FANGS for your kind words :) I am always more than happy to share how I've done my work and will write something up over the next few days as I have time (madly finishing off props for an event tomorrow atm :) ) For now, a couple of photos from after...

Thanks people :) so the help I need is in relation to the insignia and ribbon bar. I am a complete noob when it comes to anything military, but from what I can tell the insignia pin (which I've looked up and know what it is in the Halo universe) is usually worn on the collar yet Keyes has...

Hopefully the photos can tell a bit of the story. I can give better explanations of things when its not after midnight ;) Heres the basic jacket finished. I still need to do the insignia etc, but I'm not too fussed about that for a Halloween party ;) I might do a few additions to the pants...

So on a whim I decided I would make a Halo 3 officers uniform in the style worn by Commander Keyes for a HaloWeen party that a local gaming bar are holding this year (with H2 lan party). Went last year (with H5 tournament) in my Reach armour with friends and it was heaps of fun, but partying and...

Imaginary point awarded for that. That's what I've always believed has been the view and I'm glad to see it confirmed. I will be getting my Dare finished within that time, and I'm sure there will be PMs sent off to confirm details as I go :D I look forward to seeing the results of your hard...

Some photos from the weekend- the suit is far from done and there is a lot of work left to do, including a bit of trimming and changing bits, but it is at least recognisable as an ODST suit and it was well received at the small con :)

Okay, this is one very shiny ODST but I don't care right now- my armour is almost all put together. Thats good enough for this event. Detailing, adjusting of the paint colour, weathering etc can come later. First time with all the armour on- yes, I know, I am missing my knee plates, inner...

thanks that would be amazing! That was going to be my next step after the upcoming event, and a pattern will help greatly even if it is only the starting point! For now my shoulder straps are foam but I'm not happy with them in the long term. For now, with the tight schedule I'm on, they will do...

Try getting a touch up gun? Ours has a 100ml pot from memory, I've also seen them with 200ml pots. Bit larger nozzle size, they put out more paint and deal better with larger areas. Air brushes are great for detail and small objects but the touch up gun works much better for armour sized pieces...
