DEPLOYMENT
This is the most accurate suit I've made, so I decided I wanted to try my hand at going for that tier 3. I had to make some modifications first though. First, I have a camera that sits in the middle of the chest piece. This had to be covered up and replaced with the proper details. I cut out the details out of 4mm foam and glued it over top of the hold where the camera sits. I didn't do a very good job covering over the new paint in that last photo, but I went back and redid before I took deployment photos. The trick is to allow the spray paint feather the new area instead of having a harsh line.
The right shoulder is yellow in the game. So let's repaint that.
Thighs need a bit of a re-paint.
I added the red dots to either side of the helmet. These are just vinyl stickers.
A bit of orange had to be added to the cod piece
I added these grey areas on the back of the suit. The plan is to add vent stickers to them, but I forgot to do that before deployment.
After all that was done... here are the deployment photos that I submitted!
Ladies and gentlemen... may I present to you... N8TEBB's TIER 3!!! AAAAAAA I'M SO HAPPY!!!!
Below are some of my favourite photos of the suit! These were taken before the extra modifications I made, but they are still KILLER photos.
Thank you to the deployment team for all of you hard work and dedication to the deployment program on the 405th. I'm so grateful to be a part of this community, to be able to meet such fantastic people, and to learn from so many talented folks on these forums. You all have really made a fantastic impact on my life. The fact that 4 years ago I had never even used an xbox controller, nor played any sort of first person shooter absolutely astounds me. I played halo for the first time in March of 2020. I fell in love with the games and played all of them by July. I found the 405th, and all of the awesome costumes you guys make. The rest is history. You all have been nothing but the most supportive, the most friendly, the most helpful friends that I could have ever asked for. Thank you all.
For those wondering about the significance of the 410:
"Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up in honor." James 4:10
I've been considering naming my character. I really like the names James, and seeing as It's my middle name, I think it's fitting. The number is not read 4-1-0, rather 4-10. I am reminded of this verse when I think of the 405th. Because I joined knowing nothing. I came with no knowledge, asked many many questions, learning from the best of the best. You all lifted me up in a sense- look what I was able to create with the help of all of you! It is an encouragement to me to know that in the same way, when I approach the Lord, He will lift me up all the more. Truly, I thank God for you guys. With all that sentimental stuff out of the way, I am pleased to introduce you to my character- James 410
