Hey everyone! New member, super long time lurker.
I'm heading to my first ever Comicon next weekend in Phoenix and I'll be wearing my first ever cosplay. This thread was fantastic as a reference for getting my cosplay together, so I thought I'd register and add my own images for those still working on theirs.
I've been playing The Division since launch night and my favorite and most frustrating parts were centered around rogue agents. I've killed hundreds of rogue agents, and I've killed many innocent agents as a rogue myself. So I figured I would go as one of the First Wave Division agents, whom has turned rogue. So this is my cosplay.
My ISAC brick was custom made by a guy named Rustin on Etsy. He custom made it to be a red LED vs orange so it would indicate rogue status.
Here it is mounted to the sling bag strap.
Here it is turned on. It's hard to tell, but it's quite bright red. This is taken in a very bright room during the daytime. Construction is actually 100% foam and is super light.
I decided to not use an Airsoft rifle for my cosplay as I know some conventions do not allow them. I instead ordered a SCAR-L from Blueguns. It is a full size resin casting of an actual SCAR-L and I hand painted it. I present to you the legendary Caduceus.
I did have to dremel out the sling attachment mounts on the gas block and folding stock before painting, but it takes any bolt on attachment from real rifles and air soft as it is standard picitiny rails.
Here is my first dry run wearing the whole outfit.
For reference, I'm 6'4" tall. Quick details on the overall cosplay:
Sling bag is from Maxpedition. I cut and shaped lightweight foam for every compartment to make the bag appear very full but still be lightweight
I used an actual rope ascending tool for rock climbing. The one I used was a LH option.
The holster and leg pouch are both from Blackhawk. Med bag is from Maxpedition and red cross patch is from JK Army in Hong Kong.
Agent Watch is a Samsung Galaxy S3 Frontier with a division watchface
Jeans are Levi 510
Boots are Frye Logan Jump boots
Hoodie is just a pull over from Banana Republic
Gloves are Mechanix
Belt is 5.11 with a cobra buckle
Vest is from condor
Division SHD patch on armband and bag are from JK Army
Darkzone bag is also from JK army
Side arm is a HK45 from Blueguns and is also a resin replica in a blackhawk holster
Rope is just climbing rope from REI
Mag holsters are attached via Molle and are ranger green from Black hawk. Magazines are fake airsoft Pmags
FDE bag is also attached via MOLLE and is the bag that my ACOG scope came in. It is also filled with foam to make it look full.
Arm badge is an ipod arm band from Amazon
I'm wearing a ski baclava and the gas mask was the big ticket item in this whole thing. It is made by AirBoss and is the low burden CBRN mask. I only have the single canister, but it can be setup for duals. I chose left side mount for ease of shouldering the rifle and using the red dot optic. This thing is legit and even has a drinking tube connected to a CBRN camelbak so I don't have to remove it to drink water. It also really does filter Chemical, Biological, Radioactive, and Nuclear elements.
Knee pads are from Atak and were purchased on Amazon.
USA flag patch is from 5.11
Sling on the Caduceus is from Blackhawk and is a single/dual point sling with HK style claw attachment points.

The last thing agents see before I down them and steal their loot.

I can't upload the video as it's too large, but the Samsung watch has a built in speaker and I uploaded a 10 minute sound file that plays all the ISAC warnings with about 45 seconds of silence between them on a loop. It really brings it together for me.
Hope to see some of you at Comicon in Phoenix!
