Been a while, here’s a story about cosplaying Hunk
So I’ve cosplayed Hunk 2 times now and next month I’ll do it again but with a new change.
Let me paint you a picture;
Grey Commits To Making a Mistake
In 2021 I finally work up the courage to start cosplaying. After talking to a friend about a side character in Resident Evil, I settled on attempted to cosplay Hunk. Unfortunately I chose a character that had a piece of some really obscure equipment.
I spent a lot of time researching the equipment of Hunk. M88 helmet, Avon FM12 Gas Mask, etc. But there’s always 1 piece that’s evaded me. The Load Bearing Vest (LBV). This ammo carrier has been the bane of this cosplay since the beginning and I spent longer than anyone should looking into it.
The worst part about it is that no one could identify what it actually was. It’s definitely made by Special Operations Equipment (SOE) but what model of vest was it?
General consensus was that it was an SOE Alice Patrol Vest. With my extended research and insanity I came to the conclusion that it fucking wasn’t the Alice Patrol Vest
After some further searching I finally found it. It was an SOE Rallyman vest
Finally, the journey is ovWRONG
I get a substitute in defeat
Fast forward through 2022 and I end up checking out Buyee for some things here and there
Then I spot a piece of rare SOE kit
2 minutes or searching and I find it. A Rallyman Vest
I deliberate, place a bid and hope. I won
It arrives, it’s in great condition, it has everything. My Hunk cosplay it’s finally complete
I’m never doing this again
I will be at MCM Comic Con in May this year with a completed Hunk cosplay, now featuring a good MP5 prop
