Hello everyone! Antony here, hoping you're having a great day from Greece!
So, i recently decided to relive my past halo reach days and i had not been playing for long before the idea struck me:
How epic would it be to make a cosplay from this? Now, of course, i am entirely new to cosplay and so i am afraid to admit that i do not have the slightest of ideas on what to start off with.
What i will be trying to create is basically my current armor loadout from halo reach:
(of course i will provide you with a link! drum roll please?
https://haloreachstats.halowaypoint.com/en-us/players/covenant elite0/haloreach
tada! promotional codes and/or coupons not included)
So, joking aside, it appears to be . . well . . difficult so i decided to ask the experts
What materials will i need?
Where would i get them?
Are they even available here?!?
Now, i know i may be picky but as my signature says, i like to go by the motto of
"If you're gonna do something, you might as well do it well"
so i would like to NOT settle for the paper-like-overly-shiny armor.
Instead, aiming high i would like to achieve something more like the pictures (links) i have included(bottom)
I am aware that these people have probably had a lot of experience, but i am going to try my best!
Time is an issue but as long as it turns out like that, then i am willing to put in the extra hours/days/months(/years?)
Thank you all!
cheers!

PS: Sorry for the pictures being links rather than uploads. I hope you can all forgive my newbie-ness
second edit, sorry. So i am also just beggining to get into airsoft. Any way the armor would be able to sustain a hit or two? (ex: fiberglass perhaps?)
