Fallout 48-hour cosplay

[at0m]

I have a very limited amount of time to do my Fallout Lab Uniform cosplay for Dragon*Con, and I'm essentially sprinting this weekend and (possibly) next weekend to get it done. This weekend is clothing, next weekend is large props (painting my pistol, assembling & painting my pipboy)

Reference:


Purchased for potential subsequent modification:
Dickies lab coat
Dickies short sleeve jumpsuit (because temperature control is going to be key under the lab coat, I learned this with Medic)
Steel toe motorcycle boots
Pistol holster
Yellow fabric
Stencils
Various implements of fabric modification

Purchased long ago:
Two different Pip-boy resin kits
Blade runner blaster resin kit
Electronics shit
Airbrush
Paints in various flavors
Sewing machine

Fan re-cabling:

(realized I should have started taking pictures much earlier, missed all my experiments with heat shrink and solder that I hid with that last layer of heat shrink) PURPLE ZIP TIES BECAUSE TECHNOLOGY IS MIGHT!

Battery box automotive trim taped together, connectors soldered on:


Breaktime for some Old Bay Fried Chicken:


Holes drilled, plugs mounted, wires folded, final test before hot glue potting:


Done but not yet shown:
Potted wiring
Animated gif of the thing spinning
The lab coat, which now has a reinforced hole and eyelets for where this thing is going to mount.

Tomorrow:
Modding the jumpsuit with either interfacing or a sewing machine or both.
Reinforcing the shoulders of the lab coat so they're stiffer and look more like the picture.
Figuring out how many pairs of socks I have to wear to make my motorcycle boots fit, or find out if I can get expedited shipping on some the right size.
Figuring out how to mount the battery box for the fan. Belt?

Next week:
Paint resin pistol / find a shitty one that actually fits in the holster.
Assemble holster
Assemble and paint pip-boy
Figure out how to either mount current phone or ask Caff really nice to finally do that iPod Touch app or just use back-lit plex with a fixed image.

Potted battery box:


Coat hole and tacked sleeves:


Plus Stencil, plus paint:


Minus stencil:


Done but not documented because paint is wet:
Coverall Front fabric stripes
Coverall Tacked collar
Coverall Extra snap at top of neck

Need to do:
Coverall neck fabric stripe, which I can't figure out how to do and not have it wrinkly as all fuck

Done.

YOU WANT ME TO REPAIR WHAT!?! I FIXED THAT LAST WEEK!


I'M GETTING THE FUCK OUT OF HERE


Escaped from what Vault?


53, where shit breaks every goddamn day wharrgarbl


The fan mount needs one more bolt of a different kind than the other three but looks pretty good, and blows air directly onto my right nipple:


Next week:
Pip-boy on left arm
Holster
Pistol to go in the holster
Maybe paint a vault number on the lab coat too even though it isn't canon?

(no I don't know why I really like cosplays with labcoats)

Glue M&Ms to it

I'm just here for the fried chicken. and the moob-cooling fan.
Looks great! I eagerly await the reveal of the completed pipboy.

Well I've got the gaps filled with epoxy, waiting for that to cure, then I have to crack it back open and paint it, put magnets on it to hold it together, put all the screws into it, and figure out whether I'm putting an itouch into it or a static screen. I have all the parts for both.

Will probably have to scrap the pip entirely, I can't get it on my arm. Focusing on the pistol tomorrow.

Yeah, that thing doesn't fit on my arm, color me angry.

Also, color this like a museum photo.
