Hey Everyone and by everyone I mean PaiganBoi, because hes the only one that cares xD
But anyway Updates timeeeee.
So even though the title says Reach ODST. I have gotten distracted......oops. (And its my thread? So what you gonna do about it?)
So had an eventful weekend helping out the girlfriend with her costume (Need to get a picture of what we have done so far) but She will be cosplaying as Star-Lord from Guardians of the Galaxy, and managed to convince my brother to dress up this year to come to Armageddon.
Last time we went he didn't dress up, while my girlfriend and I did (As Captain Rex and Jun respectively). He got quite annoyed at everyone asking him to take photos of us that this year he wants in on the action So I am in the middle of designing his Red Hood costume from the Batman/DC Universe for him, Which is also taking up quite a bit of my time too. No pressure to finish all this by mid October or anything lmao.
So for the pictures that I do have, I have caulked out a few more lines in my helmet to try to make it have nicer seams. Im not going for an invisible seam but a nice smooth looking seam to still add the effect of it being planned (That made sense right?).
Its coming along nicely, I am excited to seal it up and paint it and see how it all comes together
Next up we have the Red Hood Mask/Helmet. This was a real change in what I am used to as this design requires it to fit quite close up to the face and snug around the head as to not to make it look bigger than about head size. So that was interesting. Anyone go any thoughts on what my brother should add? Hes pretty much designing it from here I just cut and made the mask (I was wearing it in these photos incase anyone cared).
So thats awesome
Whats next? Body armour hell yeah!
So got these a few years ago, got 2 sets (one for my brother and one for me) it looks really awesome and I think will make a great under suit for my ODST and an awesome Red Hood armour for under his jacket.
Its got a really nice placement of padding and plating, and I really like how the have done the spine (pic 2&3) so hopefully looks and works well under my ODST armour
Lastly, this is probably even more off topic than most of this already was, but anyway, I found some old pictures of my first Cosplay as Jun with my girlfriend as Captain Rex
Man shes a keeper need to put a ring on that soon I think haha
But actually, apart from the helmet, she made it from cardstock with zero SAY AGAIN ZERO!! Pepakura files or help. She looked at reference pictures from the CARTOON. She scaled it perfectly to herself and I am beyond proud of what she did (Thats so crazy man)
Oh and thats my brother xD
I was pretty proud of my Jun Helmet, but thats about it really, wasnt really happy with finished outcome. But got quite a few photo requests so that made it feel alot better haha
So thats pretty much me for now Enjoy the read lmao
PS. I BOUGHT THIS THE OTHER DAY
This is my childhood. In DVD format. I used to come home from school (Im 21 now) and record this show ON VCR TAPES XD so I am currently on this nostalgia trip and happiness is running high!
Thanks for all the support
