r/HaloCosplay

Hello everyone, i recently turned 18 and want to fulfil my younger self by cosplaying as my Halo 4 spartan. I'm looking for some advice on making/buying the armor as it was my very first halo and i fell in love with the enforcer armor. I’m 5'10" and around 110 lbs., so I'm pretty skinny and I’m wondering what size or approach would work best for getting the armor to fit me properly or if i should opt out entirely, i usually get made fun of for my weight and I'm fairly insecure and i don't really want to look stupid cosplaying characters that are big. I've put my spartan down below for reference.

I know this isn’t Halo, but I figure there is a lot of carry over and I may try for a Spartan next time.

I’m finally going to try my hand at going to Comicon this year (UK) and am hoping to go as Commander Shepherd.

I’m planning on 3D printing most of the armour, but if I print the lower torso and lower back (that comes with the files), there is no flexibility, so I was thinking of printing the abs and back plates separately and velcroing them to the undersuit, maybe with a bit of structure.

Veteran cos-players, is this a stupid idea?

How do people do torso armour and remain mobile?

My other idea is to create the base in EVA foam and then gluing the plates to that.

But I don’t know what to use as an undersuit, or where to get one?

It has to be fairly tight to conform to the back and abdomen.

I’m thinking of maybe one of the stormtrooper under suits and gloves.

Finally, does anyone have any suggestions for shoes / boots to go under the leg armour?

Hello everyone! I'm looking to make an Mk6 Gen3 Mjolnir armor cosplay as my first big cosplay, trouble is I have no idea were to begin or get the suits blueprint, help of any kind would be hugely appreciated, thanks in advance!

PD: Blueprints for any other armor from Halo 1 to 3 would also be appreciated in case anyone has some

I am looking for a Master Chief cosplayer in the Salt Lake City / Utah County area to appear in my HaloFest fan film. (If you are interested but located out of state, that is something I am willing to discuss.)

Filming Details
Location: Orem, Utah
Tentative Date: Sunday, October 18
Time: Approximately 7:00 AM to 12:00 PM

This is a non-speaking cameo role, but it is a memorable and genuinely fun scene with a significant moment in the film. If you are a Master Chief cosplayer, I think it will be footage you will be proud to have in your portfolio.

Compensation
-Gas reimbursement
-Lunch provided after filming (likely pizza)

What I Am Looking For
-A taller Master Chief (preferably over 5’7”)
-High-quality armor that looks good on camera
-If possible, bring any halo weapon props you have.
-If you have a Cortana chip, that would be a bonus!

This film is a passion project with a strong focus on production value. We will be filming on constructed indoor sets, not outdoors, and I am putting a great deal of effort into making the final film look as polished as possible.

If you are interested, please DM me:
-Your social media accounts (Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, or other relevant pages)
-Your height
-Whether you have a weapon prop
-Any questions you may have

If you do not have social media accounts showcasing your cosplay, that is totally okay. Just let me know, and I will figure out a safe and easy way for you to share some photos of your armor with me.

I’m really excited about this project and can’t wait to bring it to life with the right Master Chief. Thank you for your time, and I hope to hear from you soon!
