This was quite a simple costume but I enjoyed wearing it! It was great fun wearing it with Mark as Big Boss and our mini group of other MGS cosplays. I loved the wig, it strangely suited me despite me generally hating blonde with a passion (sadly so many of my cosplays have blonde hair!). I bought a cheap broomhandle from China which did the job nicely. The belt is a standard millitary belt and I bought my boots online for a bargin as with the goggles. The only real undertaking was the overalls which I put together by modding a pajama pattern of all things, changing the collar slightly and adding lots of funky zips. I usually don't wear much make up with cosplays so it was fun to do the smokey eyes. The photos were taken by Andrew from cosplaysnap.co.uk.
