This is going to be a mini build for a UNSC marine, light build. Basically a way for my handler to cosplay with me while still being light enough and mobile enough to help me in and out of armor. She doesn't like the basic helmet design though so I ordered a sgt Johnson cap off of amazon and will use that in place of the marine/army helmet.
Basic build will consist of:
Cap
Chest plate (file I grabbed from the armory has the abdomen cover and the belt all combined as one so I'll just group them all the same)
Jumpsuit (will modify whichever one we end up getting to try and match the reference image as best as possible)
May or may not include thigh armor (depends on what she wants)
And she will also (most likely) be carrying the basic backpack some of the marines wear. (mostly for con purposes as well as to challenge myself with a backpack build)
boots which she already has.
And a DMR or Assault rifle (of course depending on con rules and all that fun jazz)
Over all this is pretty basic, but the maneuverability she will have will help tremendously at any con we go to together or even while we are doing photo ops and stuff. any which way, this is gonna be a fun little build and I'll try to keep it updated as I progress!
The hat came in today, I just have it on a roll of foam so it can retain shape a little better, and I've gotten the abdomen started today since it's my day off from work. Hopefully I'll start working on the chest and belt in the next week!
