Hey all, I have been looking through google and youtube lately and come to find that there are plenty of Halo cosplayers but no one cosplays any of BUNGiE's other games.

So (As long as having this thread in this part of the forum is allowed) I have decided to begin building my costume of The Cyborg from BUNGiE's Marathon franchise.

I will be using this thread as a means of uploading pics and links to my youtube videos detailing my costume build. Right now I am currently working on the Magnum Mega class A1 pistol.

I will try to update about once a week, and no I will not be using pepakura for the helmet. I have other plans for that XD

Good luck, I am positive they will turn out nicely.

In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

What about B.O.B?

If any of you are interested here is what I will be using as my models for the pistol and some of the future weapons which I will be making.

Thanks to Eric of marathonmax.blogspot.com who uploaded the 3D pics of the pistol which is helping me to recreate a beloved gun from a beloved kickass franchise.

I have also played the mod and I love it so go ahead and download it if you have Max Payne 2 and want to recreate some Marathon goodness there.

Also an update before I start posting pics of how far along I am: I will be trying my best to have realistic sound to play when I press the fire mechanism on the pistol and any weapon I continue on to make.

I am going all the way and I sincerely apologize about lack of updates but I have been hard at work in getting materials together and planning out how to best go about creating the best work possible.

If anyone knowns someone whom has cosplayed anything from marathon then please I would ask you to direct to them for advice and what not. I don not think I am the first person to do this so please if anyone has some good advice for me then I am all ears.
