Hello! This forum post is just for me to compile the information I've been gathering for my first cosplay, which'll be my ODST 'Hyena'. All of this is hypothetical and set to change at any time, the main focus of the beginning of this post will be sorting out a guesstimate of how much it'll cost me overall. This will include; the 3D printer, materials, 3D designs, paint, and other things once I think of them.
Due to the fact I'm still job searching, I may have periods of inactivity on this thread, but I'll be attempting to update as much as possible as I compile information. Hopefully that's not a huge problem, but I appreciate any advice.
To give a general idea of the way I'll be handling things, I'll be working from the head downwards. This means; helmet, chestplate, shoulder pads, and forearms will be my focus to begin so I'll at least have the basics of an ODST outfit to wear for any conventions this upcoming Fall/Winter.
This outfit will be a heavy gunner ODST, so I'll be going for a bulkier look and will be attempting to replicate Jorge's gun from Halo Reach to contrast the comically short size of myself compared to a weapon for a SPARTAN. Future QOL modifications will be listed, but marked with a * for lower priority and meant to be focused on after it's completely finished.
[ TO DO LIST ]
Notes;
- Armoursmith Program. (40$)
- Helmet Headphone Tutorial.
- Helmet Microphone Tutorial.
- Weathered Paint Tutorial.
- Strapping Tutorial.
- Mo's 3D Files.
