First Full Cosplay Build!

[TheNewVinylScratch 4]

Ok pony folks, I have been building props and costumes on an amateur level for some time now, but up until this point it has been small, low quality stuff, nothing very impressive, but it allowed me to build up my skills.

 

So now, I want to go all out and build a full scale, high quality prop/costume and do it right! The problem is, I am having trouble picking what to build. I was kinda thinking something sci-fi, like maybe a full suit of halo ODST armor, or a full scale laser rifle from fallout. 

 

I am looking for suggestions as to what to build, I would be good if you could suggest something that goes with my theme (Sci-fi military) from video games or movies, ie. Star wars, halo, mass effect, fallout, edge of tomorrow. But any cool and interesting suggestions are more than welcome. I should note though, that I don't really know how to sew, so try to stay away from things that use a bunch of fabric. There is no way in hell I'm building a fur suit. 

 

The mane idea is though, I want to build something I can take to this years Comic Con and really impress people with it. I want to build something impressive that not only test my skills as a prop/costume maker, but I want to be able to show it off too. Ideally something unique that's not over done. Any help you ponies can give me would be very helpful, thanks!

What about a stormtrooper or a Darth Vader suit? ;o

Maybe you could make a storm trooper armour suit (star wars) with the laser rifle. Wouldn't use much fabric as well I don't think.
