New Here And Making My Halloween Costume

[ODSTJohn]

Hey guys,

First off, just wanted to say hi. I've been a halo fan since 2001 and have everything, from the novels, to posters, to action figures. However, I do not have a costume. Before I tackle a spartan, I want to make a marine costume from halo 3. I have purchased the fatigues and am currently working on the chest piece with cardboard, which will be attached to a molle vest. I am also working on an assault rifle, which I purchased at TRU after viewing the front page article on HBO. Its exactly the same as the halo 3 rifle, although it needs some paint and weathering. Here's the link if you want to purchase one, its only 14.99 http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3136691.

Much thanks to this wonderful community,

ODSTJohn
