Varies really but the only cons that would actually work out are video game related ones. Since you could easily be seen as going from one of the recent shooters that came out. Ghost Recon Wildlands has typical tacticool gear over plain clothes but they don't have a really different appearance. It's not like Future Soldier where the characters had things that made them stand out as Ghosts.

But yeah these type of cosplays usually work more for vidya related cons than anime or even comic ones. Unless they have something apart of them that sets them to a series that stands out.

Well, chances are you didn't recognize them because like 75% of the people let their gear look completely wrong and lazy.

Chances are those groups are:

Slav Shitters who like to dance and listen to electronic Music

>Umbrella Corps
The guys literally no one seems to care about, as they all look kind of cheap

>The Division
Backpacks with one Sling only. Have shiny watches!

>Metal Gear Solid
80% Snakes, 15% GREAT cosplays of other characters, 5% people in random Gear claiming to be MGS

If your cosplay is identifiable and you're at a gaming con then you get a pass in my book.

Sums it up pretty much. A lot of people don't have the money to spend on real milspec gear (very expensive) so they just cobble together a bunch of cheap airsoft gear that vaguely resembles their character and call it a day.

5.11 themselves didn't even get the character's names right. I'll tell my Holt about the drone though. I'm pretty happy with my Midas actually. Not perfect, but I already spent a few hundreds on it, I simply don't have any more. Even did the custom "Goobisoft put a plate bag onto a plate carrier lol" thing.

I wouldn't dye the shoulder straps, just get something in a similar color. There are military duffel bags in OD green that might be good to scavenge the straps from. You can sometimes find them cheap too.

[Anonymous No.9451592]

Thanks for the links. Maybe I can make them work.

I've gone to cons in previous years as HUNK and had some similar experiences too despite not being entirely accurate. Maybe because I was the only one even close to the original outfit. Only guy with red lenses and an S10. This year will be the first year I push for high accuracy on the costume. I wore BDUs instead of the flight suit. Finally got an MP5, flight suit, and correct pattern knee pads.

Duffel bags in OD green with removable padding straps that will fit my LBV exactly? I've heard other people recommend just taking the straps from a different vest etc., but everywhere I look it seems like the right kind just isn't in stock anymore. The other option I have is to go for his Racoon City outfit where the straps are black and he has an off black vest under the LBV. Don't suppose you'd know where I can find a vest like that?

[Anonymous No.9451624]

>Duffel bags in OD green with removable padding straps that will fit my LBV exactly?
Well, they're not removable. You'd have to take a seem ripper to the stitches but it's a cheap option. I got lucky, I used some old surplus stuff that I had from years before that was the right color and shape.
Another option is to modify military Y harness/suppenders for the ALICE system. They're OD green. You'd just have to sew some thing on your vest for them to connect to so it looks right.


Next con I'm thinking of doing the version of HUNK in The Mercenaries 3DS but that requires getting an airsoft AK-74. Don't suppose anyone knows where I could find a cheap one?

I actually don't even remember Rouge Coyote since they were so minor when compared to Zero Risk and CFA, so your mileage may vary with others. I'd say that it's a good idea to be with a MGS group though if you aren't cosplaying a main character in general. Everyone knows Snake and Ocelot, but not many people will recognize Gurlukovich Mercs, Peace Sentinels, Praying Mantis PMCs, etc.

Take this Soviet heavy unit from MGSV for example. To someone that's never played the game long enough to see heavy units, they would think you're doing a Tachanka cosplay even though the helmet and vest are wrong.

So to all future Tachankas:
Mind the DP-28 Pouches. They will probably arrive in different shading. Also they have clips in the inside to stabilize the Magazines. Those are Metal and you probably can't really sew the grenade pouches on without a trick

[Anonymous No.9479366]

Also, should you want measurements of the magazines, I can give you. You probably wouldn't want to carry them on a convention, as they are a total of 12 Kilograms.

How's my Afghan War Soviet Soldier?

[Anonymous No.9483024]

>>9482958
Seems a little off. Maybe it's just my judgement, or my memory is wrong. But didn't the light guys have either no helmet or no chest rig? The guys that had both had the parka over the Shirt.

You have the Parts anon. You can dew it. Also AK too new.

[Anonymous No.9484137]

>>9483024
You're right. I'm positive I saw ones with Telyashkas, chest rigs, and helmets, but I was mis-remembering.

No need to fuck yourself. As I said, you have the stuff there to do it right. Fix a bit and you're good to go

Apparently, canvas from the 60's don't take too well to black dye.

Still, aside from some minor bits and bobs, my Gurlukovich merc is done.

[Anonymous No.9489553]

>>9489430
Black dye on the belt Load carrying Equipment? Well, if you really want that dyed, just use spray paint. It holds really well on canvas and nylon. You can't really wash it, but who washes their gear?

Pretty much this. I always try to not associate myself with the types of people who do Umbrella Corp. cosplays. Metal gear cosplayers and others are generally fine though since there are so little of them compared to the hordes of fat dudes in Israeli gas masks, plastic helmets, and Umbrella patches.

[Anonymous No.9490609]

I'm thinking about cosplaying an XCOM 2 Ranger for an upcoming con. I know the vest pictured here is a MOLLE but any other possibly substitutes for other parts of the get-up would be appreciated too.

Not sure if wildlands cosplay, but the left guy had more potential for Elite Crew from Counter Strike series.

[Anonymous No.9496202]

>>9495980
Guy on the left is definitely an Elite Crew cosplayer just by looking at the bomb. The two dudes in the middle just look like airsofters though.

GATE:JGSDF thus they fought there... if you can find the Jeitai camo

[Anonymous No.9503559]

>>9503542
I've been wanting to do GATE forever but that damn camo is a bitch to get, especially in my size. I know there's a real camo that looks a lot like the custom Special Region camo they have in the anime, but I can't remember what it is.

I saw a pretty good Itami and Rory couple at ALA last year but he was wearing Flecktarn.

[Anonymous No.9503573]

TMC made Jeitai for a while but I don't think they make it anymore.
