Have another update for you guys!
I go the rucksack/backpack mostly done. Just needs a few finishing touches, and to attach some hinges and velcro to get the compartments to close.
I was also thinking of some small ways to make this kit mine.
I really like the grounded, and human feel to the ODSTs and how they are always prepared for when things go south. I'd like to expand on that and add some realism and military elements to this cosplay.
I'd like to put a name on the top of the breast plate like Dutch etc have, but I'd also like to add these identification lights. In-game they have the VISR to identify squad mates. In modern military these light markers are for something similar. I'd like to think they'd have something like this in case their HUD didn't work
I was thinking of these glow sticks also to just have hanging off the rucksack or on the ab section of the armor. Another piece of equipment used by modern military for marking searched areas, and provided low levels of light when power is not available.
The glow sticks and the team markers would be very minimal. Maybe one or two of the lights, and two or three of the glow sticks.
And finally, I'd like to wrap a bandolier like this around one of the shin guards to add some character to the armor.
