1st Build First Build - ODST

[Metheni]

This is my first ever cosplay, so it's a little rough, but it's so fun, and I'm learning tones. Started making this a few months ago. It's a mix of reach and halo 3 odst parts. I wanted to make my life as easy as possible, so I did 3d print some parts, some are made of EVA foam, and the helmet was a gift from my partner on ETSY. I've taken some creative liberty on some parts, specifically pouches etc, that won't be really 'lore-accurate'.

I'm only 5'6 so trying to scale down things has been a little bit of a struggle. So far though, I'm super happy with how it is turning out. I've got about 2 months till my first con, so hopefully, I can finish the rest in time.

Next is leg armour, gloves, and the rucksack, then an ODST rifle just to top it off.

Hopefully, remember to post update pics as we go!

Thanks! There are obviously some things I want to change, but that's all part of the learning experience.

Bit of an update which is long overdue. It's not perfect, but i'm super proud of my first cosplay. SMG, knife and pistol from etsy.

Had a killer time! Will certainly be at the next con! I'm also so happy with how the cosplay ended up. A few tweaks here and there and I'll be happy.
