Well No pictures at the moment, but I'm working on exactly what the title says; a hybrid rakshasa and MK V B kit. I received the first part last week in the form of a high quality, custom MK V B helmet from Vegvizir on etsy, though a lot of work still needs to be done on my end for colors, the visor, and potentially adding some front facing led lighting in addition to the creation and attachment of any, well, attachments I intend to put on.
As for the armor, I'm having a difficult time locating a quality set of rakshasa armor, though I have found 3d files that I could pay for and print. If only I had a 3d Printer large enough *sigh*. No matter, there are ways around all that. With that said, the big decision I'm being forced to make is what color pallet I will use for the whole deal.
This is where I do have a couple questions for the community as not only a new member to the 405th, but also to costuming as a whole. The big one I have is color, since while I have a couple Ideas (and while color preferences are subjective), I cannot seem to choose Which one to go with. The color pallets I'm considering are:
A.) A Royal Blue primary with a yellow/gold secondary,
B.) A Splotched green camo look like the Halo Infinite Haunted Rubellite coating,
C.) Something simple like the steel red coating...also from Infinite.
Also, I do prefer to 3d print my stuff instead of using foam, so I'm also looking for material and paint suggestions. I am currently using a BambuLab P1P and will use the BambuLab PLA Tough (unless another suggestion is presented), and will probably paint with a rattle can unless I get called a doughnut and told to use an airbrush.
I'll add pictures of my reference and my helmet once I get home here, but until then, Any input is much appreciated!
