Cosplay Emile battles Elite

[Masternewbie]

Cosplay...well more like a photoshoot of my kids and last year's and this year's halloween costume. Each costume took about two weeks of effort...the "mongoose" is a battery ride on from 4 years ago which I painted to go with with my first build of Masterchief for my then 2nd grader. For 5th grade he was Emile and 4th a Elite Ultra.

How'd you manage the Elite costume's legs like that? It looks pretty cool

Oh that mongoose is pure win!

Thanks for the nice comments.

His sister helped by wearing his elite costume from last year. I've used many pep files from the 405th over the past 4 years. The elite legs are just an optical illusion by putting foam in strategic places... Stilts seemed too complex for a 9 yr old...there are tutorials out there. This year I was all set to try to vacuform a helmet, but half my pulls didn't come out right so I went another direction with that.
