Spartan Mk VI and Anime North 2016 Updates!

'Sup internet?! Yes, I know. I have been away for WAY to long, but I never forgot you! Life has been busy, ya know? But don't worry, I am still adding and fixing stuff on current cosplays and working at new cosplays (specifically, my Nightingale from Skyrim). I also whipped together a quick Khajit from Skyrim for Halloween 2015, so keep your eye out for my pretty kitty cosplay post ;)

So, as you all know, I am a member of the 405th (Canadian Regiment, eh?) and HIGHLY recommend that if you want to build anything Halo related, that you head over to those awesome forums with equally awesome Spartans who share a passion for all things Halo related and costuming. They are a great knowledge of wealth and have NO problem helping out if the answer isn't already buried in the forums (don't expect us to answer stuff when we KNOW the answer is on the forum, do some homework ya?). Google "405th" if you want to find us!

Speaking of Spartans, here is what I am doing for my Spartan Mk Vi for Anime North 2015:
Updates, more updates and fixing stuff.

To do in the next 30 days for my Spartan:
1) Add in the other computer fan into my helmet. I want this one to blow towards my visor so it helps control the fog.
2) Work on the visor. If my budget allows, I want to get another visor, with the hex pattern from Stony Props. The first one I have works like a dream. I am going to play around first, as I want to have the cut out effect.
3) Double check that ALL my lights work in my armor. If not, I need to replace them.
4) Get some paint thinner to get the paint off the pleather for my leg guards.
5)Hope my neck microphone arrives so I can install it. If not, figure out a way to install a regular microphone (I don't want to as it will pick up the fans...so maybe I won't).
6) Paint my BOOMco M6 when it arrives...going to be cutting this close as well.
7) Add a pocket for my phone or camera? Probably camera and most likely in the thigh.

To do for Anime North 2016 in general:
1) Try to get a closer hotel. The one we have isn't bad though, only a 16 minute walk.
2) Put my Black Rabbit Cosplay cards in the pocket of my Spartan thigh armor to hand out.
3) Pack
4) Print out directions to the hotel.
5) Figure out my budget.
6) Find all the parts to my Sheik from SSBB cosplay (this is my comfortable back-up cosplay haha and always a fan favorite!)
7) Pack my Emergency Cosplay Failure Kit
