ODST [pretty much 97% done]

[Reii]

Hi guys! Reii here, this is going to be my second cosplay ever and due to last year's disaster I decided to challenge myself to not be lazy and make an huge improvement on the costumes.
Last years half-assed costume with no paint and almost everything but the shoulder visor and the arm guards were just bought from a costume store.

Last year's disaster:


This year's goal is making an ODST costume.

My references:



Progress:

Torso


I know the neck part didn't look too great


Upper chest plate looked too small.


I suck with blades... but the terrible cuts actually worked out for me later on.


Other part's progress pics got lost in the abyss.

Worked on the shins and knees part:

[Lesson learned: Buy a huge pack of blades. and replacements.]

Pauldrons and Arm guards!


Test fitting!


Weathering/painting:



Final Test fit!


The largest mirror I had around was located in my bathroom. :s

Anyways, I'm still working on the M6C Socom and hoping to finish it soon.
I hoped you like some parts of the work I did and I wish everyone a very good day/night!

Also if anyone of you is going to Fanime 2015, I'll be there the whole weekend so hit me up or something!

Update!

I'm pretty much done, idk if I can still add the tactical attatchments to it, personally the gun itself looked really good having a long barrel and all.

Also added a strip of velcro on the right side so I can mount the pistol into the thigh plates since I added small velcros on those too, also can be attacted in the back/butt plate!
