Awesome! If you don't mind me asking, where'd you get your undersuit?

That's a great rush suit!! I love the use of the shin guards as forearms. Everything looks fantastic all together. You've done a great job on getting it together in a hurry!
Well done Trooper!! Now go knock 'em dead at your event!

The under suit I got from a friend who was using it as coveralls to work on cars. He gave it to me since he knew I played a lot of airsoft back in the day.

Ah, unfortunately I don't think I'll be able to make it to Comic-Con this year. No work this week meant more time to work on this project, but also no money. =P And all memberships are sold out anyways.
But I'll be going to SD for school at the end of this year, so I should be at Comic Con next year! It'd be great to get a little 405th group together.

Thanks for all the compliments and I'm glad if what I wrote helped give some people inspiration and ideas. I'll be sure to bring plenty of pictures and video back.
Well, need to go figure out my schedule and get ready for the weekend. Didn't get much sleep at all and then I had to drive all morning hopped up on...4 rock stars, 2 red bulls, one Starbucks double shot, and one 5-hour energy...at the end of the day I felt like I wanted to collapse in a pile on the floor while running sprints. Fun.
I wasn't able to find the time to camo up some foam pads for thigh armor, so what I'll do tomorrow is probably just velcro a fake shotgun-shell holder on one side and use the other side to hold my plasma blaster if I don't feel like carrying it.

It was pretty fun. Definitely a learning experience on armor strapping and emergency repair jobs. It's also a good opportunity to see what works out and what needs to be fixed on, especially with colors. I definitely need to invest in gray coveralls later down the line.
I will say that I seemed to enjoy myself a lot more than the average person in a suit of armor. =P My buddy was wearing a modded licensed costume and he couldn't even sit down. The way I had the ODST suit set up afforded a comfortable amount of mobility. Heck, I even drove a little bit in it. It wasn't any more uncomfortable than modern day armor, though I will say black is not a comfortable color in the heat. =P But like I said earlier, gray looks like it would go better anyways. And the Oakley boots are awesome, I can't say that enough. The whole time I was wearing them I never had any issues with my feet...I wore another pair of boots for just an hour or two and it got painful fast.
Also I'm impressed with the durability. On the first day the chest piece fell off while I was standing probably 3 or 4 times with no noticeable damage.\
I was really glad with the number of people who recognized the ODST uniform. Shouts of "Feet first!" "Helljumpers!" and "Prepare to drop!" far outweighed the shouts of "Master chief!" and the oen person who thought I was a special forces stormtrooper (which ironically there was one of later on). There were a lot of people who had heard of the 405th and were interested. I also ran into a couple of members! MC Hammer time and Bopx. Hopefully as the 405th gets more developed we can get a california "garrison", or whatever the 405th equivalent would be, organized.
Oh yeah, I noticed in one of the Anime Expo photo galleries there was a blue spartan with...CQB shoulders I think? (honestly it's been a while since i"ve played multiplayer) I didn't bump into him at the con, the only MCs I saw were my buddy, and a few other licensed suits. Would that happen to have been you, Enrisan? Well whoever it was, that suit looked awesome in the photographs I could find of it.
Anyways, back to making sure I still have my summer job, unpacking, and planning out what to work on for the rest of my summer!
