So for the cosplay competition at Megacon 2019 I had to to send progress photos of my costume, and since I already had them I figured I'd post a thread here. My plan is to make a Halo Reach spartan like the one pictured below but with an arctic camo paint job instead of pure white. Because hand painting camo is kinda beyond my skill set I turned to hydro-dipping, but since getting the proper station and all the films would cost more than I'd like I used "The King of Randoms" method of using spray paint in a bucket. I started with only painted a few pieces in order to test the concept but overall it turned out fairly well.
I also painted the chest piece because I couldn't add the mods until it was painted, and I painted helmet so I could install the visor.
And these are all the pieces I've built but haven't painted.
