So for awhile now I've been toying with the idea of doing Halo builds but didn't know where to start so after a long while of going back and forth on ideas I figured why not settle simple first and do the marine armor from the original Halo: Combat Evolved.
I'm starting off with all the soft pieces which means getting some BDU pants, a jacket, a patrol cap and a boonie cap (I wanted to get all of them in case I ever wanted to do the variants seen in the game).
Before I dive into the armor I wanted to see if anyone else has done this armor specifically and what they used to make it. I was thinking foam since the armor is not very detailed or complex.
As for the start of the build itself first issue I'm running into is the emblem seen on the Patrol cap. Sgt. Johnson is seen wearing the cap throughout the game along with a handful of other Marines but I can't seem to identify what it exactly is. I figure its the UNSC emblem but there's a strip of gold below it which appears to have some sort of black lettering on it that I can't make out. Does anyone have any idea or perhaps better pictures? Here are some pictures I'm working with.
