Hello Friends!
New year means new cosplay! Starting this project off earlier than I did last time because I have an earlier goal than I did before. Usually I make my goal Montreal Comicon because that is usually the first con of the year that we have a booth around here. But this year I am going to try and make my goal to make this thing ready for Toronto Comicon in March. Might be a tight timeline but I think I can get it done.
The what and why:
So for some reason I decided to demote myself with each new costume. I started with a spartan, moved down the ladder to an ODST and am now going one more step down to a marine (maybe my next cosplay will just be a civilian). As much as I love my spartan and Romeo, I want a bit of a helmet break. I also want a costume that I can more easily travel with, I plan to go to a couple cons this year that are further away and hope to take the train and want a costume that can fit in a smaller bin.
The plan:
While the armour is going to be the usual Halo 3 marine style I am going to switch between helmet and the UNSC hat that used to come in loot box awhile back. Going to use the hat when I am traveling by train or anything like that so I don't have to carry around the helmet in my seat risking damaging it. Also hoping to add a couple pouches here and there to (for the first time in one of my costumes) carry my phone and wallet around with me.
*these pictures will mostly be what I'll be basing my costume off of*
The props:
If I don't want to I won't need to make any props for this costume. I already have a halo 3 BR I made back in August as well I also have the sniper from Romeo I can use as well (although I don't see myself carrying it all that much, it'll mostly be a "stays at the booth" kinda prop). At most I think I will make a socom magnum that I can double up with this cosplay and Romeo.
The methods:
For this build all the armour pieces are going to be 3D printed. I was considering going with a hybrid build like I usually do but the marine is not nearly as heavily armoured as a spartan or ODST so mobility isn't really a concern.
There will also a bunch of soft parts. Will most likely be buying some airsoft tactical gear with the right camo and then get some other tactical bits to attach different armour pieces to.
Thank you for reading whatever nonsense I put on this website. Here's to hoping I can finish this when I plan too. If not I can definitely get this done for Montreal Comicon.
See y'all out there,
