Killzone Helghast Soldier Costume Help

I was just thinking of cosplaying Helgast Soldier from Killzone and i really need help on which items to get and where to get them? i got a list i found in the internet

1x pair combat boots.
1x pair kneepads and elbowpads
1 Set BDUs (black, not grey, they screwed up on the statues)
1x Some manner of tactical vest, try lightfighter.com, and find the one you like (be warned, quite expensive)
PASGT helmet (a replica is preferred, as the real ones are pricey)
an oxygen mask, like the mbu12/p or newer, you'll want to modify it.
and of course the red eyes, which you can either fabricate or use some of those Wiley X-goggles for a suitable impression


And for the gun
The helgan rifle is composed of:
Tubular magazine (fabricate)
Main heat shroud of an MG42 (cut down, you can probably find a replica somewhere)
FAMAS pistol grip and similar rear stock, cut out the old magwell and replace with tubular magazine
Remington 870 or similar cut down shotgun, and a fabricated casing to house it (try airsoft) and replace the standard pump with that of a SPAS 12.
A G36 Optical sight, you'll have to slice off the carry handle of the real one for this, and fabricate your own to fit.


Need help telling me which one is more suitable than the ones mentioned and where to get them? currently i am looking for the helmet first which something like this.

Helghast doesn't really wear armors. Well for this normal ones lar. And if you guys know where to get these items please state the price as well. And for the helmet i want replica one and not those real ones(erm duh lolz i no money buy real one). The cheaper the better(for me).

I have a Helghan costume in the works for the past few months already,so here's a tip.

It WILL be expensive.

Everything I've gotten/bought/found so far has cost me a fair bit of cash in my quest to make the costume as accurate as possible.

The helmet I managed to get from the place where Freelancer mentioned. The rest I've either found/bought from army surplus shops,attempted to make.

Thx for the tip. I just got find the helmet and the gas mask first. You know where to get the gas mask? and how much is the helmet cost? I'll try to go as cheap as possible(i don't think it will work though lolz). But anyways i want to ask. How much it cost ya? everything i mean.

And can you tell me any other army shop other than the one Freelancer mentioned?

Wanted> Super Cool Hobby shop in Sunway Pyramid for Helmet.

Gas mask = Ebay (you cant find those in Malaysia)

Helmet cost = RM 80+

So far everything I've gotten and what I'm planning to get will break the RM 800 mark.
