Homebrewed! – Andrew Valentino’s Halo Elite
by collin
If you can go back to the insane obsessive time when Halo 3 released, you may remember the story of Andrew Valentino. The kid made up his own Master Chief outfit and stood in line for a copy of the freshly released digital drug. Another Halo fan was so pumped at his dedication, he outright bought the endeavoring young Chief a shiny, dust-free Xbox 360. Well, this time Andrew is back, and he’s not doing it for free stuff.
The D.I.Y. this time is an 8 1/2 foot Halo Arbiter costume made entirely of cardboard and duct tape. It’s pretty impressive, considering he’s not necessarily working with the budget of places like Nightmare Armor. Needless to say, it’s the true spirit of being a fan and doing your own cosplay from scratch. Great work!

I think it is great for an extremely low budget costume. but i think he should really go to the 405th, i already made a pep helmet and im ready to fiberglass it. It took like an hour a day for like 4 days. That site could teach him some very valuable skills for making costumes. (BTW i went with DF4L’s helmet) = ]
