Pick up the app Cosplanner and make a list of the costumes and characters you want to build. I find that breaking down what needs to go into each costume helps sort through what needs to be done and if I need any special tools (more expensive) to finish it.
As for help picking specifics, going with your multiplayer character is always a safe bet since you already like the armour enough to wear it in game.

Selecting Your Character (guide)
What?!?! You thought we were actually going to tell you what character to make?? The character you build is going to take a lot of time and effort. You need to be invested in it if you want to come through with your own suit. If you ask people on the internet what character you should make...

Id say a Spartan is probably easier yeah...I've been switching my mind mostly between an elite and a reach spartan. Which one do you think is easier?
EDIT: I think I'll do a spartan

Thanks Dirtdives! I hope to start right after Halloween.

Dirt dives was joking. He knows good things take time and giving yourself deadlines can just add to your frustrations.
Nice Magneto helmet! Show us what it looks like done too!

Yeah, plenty of people spend months if not years on their costume.
I'm 3 months in (~200-300 hrs of hands on time) and barely half done with my reach. Spent a month doing research w/o even touching any materials to (not included in the 3months)

Procrastination is my specialty! LOL It took me until a year after I got my 3d printer to actually put it together and then another 4 months before I actually printed something. Where have you been travelling?

It took me three years to finish my suit, and I technically finished it at halo outpost discovery 30 min before the costume contest... (all because I kept thinking about it but never wanted to work on it)
Also shame on you for the 3d printer part!

Honestly this is the big kicker and why I think "deadlines" or at least goals are important. I started my build in March and am just finishing the last piece (helmet) this week. If I didn't give myself a deadline of Halloween, I don't think I would have put in nearly as much time because there's always something else that takes less effort I could be doing haha.
But that's me, some people are good at time management. And obviously if you're doing it with the mindset of not caring when it gets done that's fine
