Nod Enforcer cosplay concept

Here is a cleaned up, and colored concept of a custom "Nod Enforcer" cosplay I would love to try an make one day.
I wanted to have elements from different versions of Nod soldiers in it, from Tib Dawn through Tiberium Alliance.  He wears a cape like a Black Hand and Confessor, but is also equipped with a Nod version of the wrist EVA unit (C&C Renegade).  

He carries a prototype Laser carbine rifle (I found the amazing design for the rifle on pimpmygun.doctornoob.com), and a colt 1911 as a side arm.

The thing is, I have NO skill when it comes to stuff like sculpting or foam crafting, and I would like something like that for the armor, so it is light.  The EVA unit I also have the idea of having a small space for something like an ipod to fit in, with a custom video of some sort of computer screen on it, to give it that feel to it, instead of it just being static.

Originally, I wanted to give him a helmet like a Tib Sun nod soldier, but it came back to "no skill in that form of crafting",  So I went with something inspired by the artwork for the nod soldiers for Tiberium Alliance, a low hood with red tinted goggles and a respirator mask.

The Rank is taken from the Nod Ranks from Tiberium Twilight (yes, the game did suck, but I did like the rank structure they gave Nod for it), and the rank he wears is Exarch, which is among the higher ranks of Nod.


Like I said, one day, I would really love to put this together.
