Made it a goal to be more active and not just post raw helmets to Instagram stories all the time, so we are starting the year with a build thread. When the CE MK5 got added to Infinite, if quickly became my favorite iteration of the armor, and with the Campaign Evolved design being more or less the same with minor changes I wanted to make it My next main cosplay.
When I started on this cosplay, I didn't know what I wanted the final result to be. it was a tie between a custom guy similar to Malice's "Big Red" cosplay and doing a Master Chief. Personally I always liked having unique or never done before stuff, which is when I realized I could do Chief without causing there to be duplicates if anyone else decided to do a campaign evolved Chief at the same convention: I would do a modernized cut version. Before Combat Evolved's release in 2001, the Master Chief went through several designs. At some point close to release it looks like Chief was planned to have blue accents. In the Dig site mod "Spasm site" 2 versions can be seen, the different between them is one has a green torso and antenna, and the other removes the antenna and adds blue to the chest and back, the blue on this model is also more vibrant, where on the blue on the other is more faded out. I have decided to go with the antenna version.
For the actual cosplay itself im using Galactic Armory's Campaign Evolved files. At the time of writing I have both arms complete, the helmet complete, and the chest complete. Currently the back and minor detail parts are printing. The goal is to have it finished and ready to go in time for C2E2 in March, and printing is going well, sanding and painting I'm a little worried about with the temperature, but I may find a work around for that. NobleofDeath posted a tutorial for a making a harness for rigging armor that I was told about today.
Pictures of what i have so far (i didnt get an updated picture of the arms having all parts printed)
