| Pushed Sparda back to get to grips with some armour techniques. Dare was brilliant fun to cosplay, though the most uncomfortable cosplay to date (While still being bearable) May 2010 The cosplay took a long 5 months between researching materials and purchasing materials, hitting quite a few speedbumps in the making of and working at college. Theres a few things i'd like to add and change, and the backplate is incredibly uncomfortable, but all in all i'm really pleased with the outcome ^_^ OCTOBER 2010 Woo, I made some of the changes I wanted! Parts re-enforced repaired a few holes new chestplate new back shin new cod foam inner-thighs took apart and re-strapped everything to fit better new nerf smg sanded, primed and re-painted the ENTIRE ARMOR -_- fml Whats left (If I can seriously be bothered) new forearms new backplate new smg AGAIN new ab plate MARCH 2011 New Backplate made from EVA foam, i'm DONE -__- Next project plz. | |

Journal

Halo Reach Midnight Launch! (Posted 14th September 2010) I made the midnight launch my deadline to do the following revisions- -Re-model and construct a smaller and curvier chestplate Thankfully I managed to get the tedious stuff out of the way and i've left recreating a few pieces of armour for Expo in October ^__^ |
|
Completed! (Posted 3rd June 2010) Dare was amazing to wear, I was so suprised at how many people recognized her next to the huge recon spartan ^^ |
|
7 Days x.x (Posted 22nd May 2010) I don't like how bungie keep changing Dare's armour, so i'm just going by the blue artwork colour scheme and 3D render for the detail- For one, Dare's armour is NOT green, and the small details such as text and logo's are white in-game and black on the renders. |

This is gonna be amazing, I'm hoping all are cosplays are ready by then too
Its a shame Abrant3 removed his youtube videos, they were really helpful.
I can help with a few things if you need it, I'm no pro but I think I could help ^^:
The hardest part I reckon is getting the right armour sizes =B
This looks amazing!
Awesome work and i hope you can get it finished before expo
Welp, im already overly impressed x x
Wow the helmet is already looking amazing. Anything with resin and fibreglass daunts me! Look forward to seeing the progress.

Looks like you done some fucking good filler work on that wrist :O i just baught more filler myself actualy, U-Pol Easy Sand :D the stuff is so smooth i wana rape it.
Wow.. this is looking indredible! Bravo! Looks like we'll be looking forward to seeing eachothers costumes! lol, if you do jump up and down like you say you will... try not to damage anything!! hahah. <3
Fffff why do you have to do better than me xD This is looking fantastic still!
hahah nah i meant dont damage anything of yours!! i imagine bouncing in armour... could be quite difficult, wouldnt want u to bounce your costume to pieces lol. i dont think you could do much to hurt mine lol.
wOw, this is looking GREAT.
I see there are loads of Halo cosplayers in May, but your Dare will totally stand out (and yes, I even changed my x360 avatar to a female just so I can have Dare's Helmet)
THIS IS AMAZINGLY FANTASTIC!!! XD
I'll happily be the teabag victim to you're awesomness XD
Hey this looks pretty cool, were you the one who stayed at the Travelodge City Airport with your mother?
Saw you at expo (The Psycho from Borderlands who ran up to you, squeed and then ran off). Super f'ing awesome with a sprinkle of un-f'ing-believable on top.
Hey Phi. Was great meeting up with you guys. Hope to meet up in October when my suit isn't so temperamental! ^__^
OMG I remember this, freakin' AMAZING cosplay! I loved the whole group aswell :'D All the effort certainly shows!
P.S Thankyou for your help at the cosplay desk, very much appreciated <3
Just thought i'd mention...I noticed that both you and Keir are missing a little something from the helmet... Take a look at this picture and then directly in the middle of his forehead http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/File:ReconArmor.png You're missing the little sticky out bit...Just sayin' :) it works without it but die-hard fans such as myself might notice :P
Oh yeah, are you cosplaying Dare again, in October? There's a Halo group already set up that currently consists of myself (Recon), Ashika (Miranda Keyes) and a Spartan 3 from Halo: Reach :P Just thought you might like to know as we're all considering entering the masquerade and need more Halo-ers :)
Woww this is so awesome :D
I love the attention to detail

@k4tt- i'm packing Dare away in a deep, deep box in a far away corner, or i'll never be satisfied with it xD;;
-Phi
This is just fantastic!

Yeh I used pepakura templates for these :)
Absolutely awesome! Why havent I met you yet?? I want to ask you all sorts of things about making armour costumes :P - you're such a neat worker.
Hey Ranma!
We have met briefly in the masquerade queue one year, can't remember if we directly spoke though!
I'll be at the october expo though if your up for a chat! :)
-Clio
Yes please, I would love a proper chat :) if you spot me come and say hi.. my Sat cosplay is shaping up to be Trek (red minidress) and Sun is Elle Driver (white nurse uniform). What are your cosplays for the Expo weekend?
I'll be Halo-ing it on saturday and doing an assassins creed apprentice on sunday :) Look forward to chatting!
Cool. Sat I should be minding two fur suiters, so if you spot two large rabbits toting guns I should be close by. ^_^
