So as an update to what I want to do. A lot of the stuff I’m looking at involve some stuff that’s currently on the market.
The Tropic camo I plan on using, I ordered a a shirt and a semipo crud knock off pants with built in knee pads. As for the leg guards I may build those or spice them.
Thigh mounts I may go with two Blackhawk mounts where one is a holster and mount a small hardcase to the other for other odds and ends. For a pistol I really like the look of the stripped m6 buck uses in Halo 5 so I’m looking at a kit that fits over replica glocks that really pull off the m6 look.
Chest/waist wise I’m looking at how old lrrp belts were made but they really have a dated look (they’re dated from 1960ish) so I’m looking at the Russian Smersh that has the look of what you see unsc personal using in the infinite trailer.
Or
I got with a small chest rig that has the look of the pouches you see on Carter in Halo Reach.
Head wise I have a patrol cap that I may throw a sniper veil over or go with my Russian made boonie. Over the years I’ve noticed gear wise that Bungie\343 ultimately chose gear designs similar to Russian equipment with a dash of American swat.
Weapon wise I really liked the art they used for Kilo-5, it has Mal carrying what looks like a M395 but the mag is forward of the trigger so it shares a lot of the looks with a modern day scar. Other option is (for cons, dress up, whatnot) is take some of the boomco. Guns and do them up, I’ve seen some done up very well and I’m mildly okay with painting this far.
Attached is the kilo 5 art I was referring too with Mal in the front.
