All are welcome to join!
We'd like to invite you to build a Halo costume with us. We'll be live streaming a build from start to finish in order to gear up for Halo Outpost Discovery.
Since many people will be traveling for these events we're going to attempt a light armored cosplay in the form of the Halo Reach Army Battle Dress Uniform. Hats off to TurboCharizard for this fun idea.
The Army BDU does appear in Halo Reach in some forms. Thanks to some concept art and Halo's history of military background we can assume that there are as many variants of the Battle Dress Uniform as there are jobs in the Army. Below are just some examples of what you could build:
Our first video will be pre recorded and will cover selecting your character, locating the armor files, sizing the armor files and setting a plan for the build. After that we'll go live with one episode per week as we build the costume from bucket to boots.
Details:
Tune to our Twitch Channel 405thHalo every Wednesday 6pm PST
