Here are a couple of pictures of me wearing my Master Chief costume for Halloween in Waikiki.

I learned how to make my costume from the 405th.com “Costume Community of the HALO Universe” last year. I opted to try the “Pepakura” version of the Master Chief costume as I was not skilled enough to try the molded version.

My costume cost over $300 to make and took over 30 days, at more than 4 hours per day, to complete.

I did not have a nice face shield or gun last year. The face shield was made of yellow cellophane last year and everyone could see my face. My gun was a poster board cutout of a Battle Rifle. My helmet did not have any padding or cooling; therefore, I was sweating like crazy and my helmet kept falling to one side.

This year, I purchased a gold motorcycle visor and used that as a face shield. I also mounted a fan and some foam in my helmet. I also found a way to make a more authentic looking Assault Rifle on youTube.

If you are making your own Pepakura Master Chief costume using the information on 405th.com and you have a few questions, go ahead and send your questions to me at nmnoob(at)gmail.com and I’ll try to answer your question as best as I can.

If you were in Waikiki and took a picture of me, I would really appreciate it if you sent me a copy to display on my blog. Send your picture to nmnoob(at)gmail.com and tell me what kind of photo credit you want listed.

I have been fixing my Master Chief costume I made and wore last year over the past few days; therefore, I haven’t done much reading and reviewing.

Stay tuned as I’ll be posting pics of my updated Master Chief HALO-Ween costume tomorrow night, and I’ll continue my “Noob” tips and info on Sunday.

Have fun and be safe!
