Hey people! So i've been lurking around the site for a good 3 weeks now and just joined but I gotta say there are some really talented people here. The costumes i've seen are absolutely amazing and the amount of detail is phenomenal! I've always wanted to cosplay since I was about 12 when I got into Anime and even more so with video games and I have the perfect opportunity to do so. I'll be going to the Denver Comic-Con at the end of May so I wanted a simple yet really cool costume. The genres I thought of were Mass Effect, Assassin's Creed, and Halo. Now ME I think is too complicated if i'm just starting so I crossed that off, then I went to Assassin's Creed. The weapons would, I think, be simple enough but the gear as a whole was going to be too expensive with all the leather and other pieces. Then I came to Halo. At first I was going to do an armor but I only have three months to make the costume which is NEARLY not enough time to make everything but then I thought why not doing a simple Halo character then it hit me. Why not Captain Lasky?
So I searched around for a bit on the net and 405th but sadly I couldn't find anyone who has started one so why not I be the first?
Now this is my first cosplay but it's rather simple judging by this pic of Tom: http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/TomLaskyHalo_2726.png
He's uniform is pretty basic which is a pair of slacks, a belt+pouches, a gun+holster, a UNSC military shirt and a few armor peices. Now I have a pair of slacks that I think I can use with the costume that will resemble it closely and I could probably use foam reinforced with some other stuff that would make good armor the only thing that I think would be the problem is the UNSC military shirt.
As seen in cut scenes and Spartan Ops most crew officers have a sort of vest on with a glowing spine on the back as seen in this concept art of Lasky here: http://cghub.com/files/Image/346001-347000/346199/063_max.jpg
So with that being said I would like some help or advice on what sort of things I could use to make the shirt. I would also love some reference pictures of Lasky or any other information you guys can give. All your help would be much appreciated, thanks!
P.S. I'll post pictures of the slacks when I get a chance it's almost 1:00 here.
