Costume Information

Description
The Armoured Vault Suit for the Lone Wanderer in Fallout 3, taking advantage of the fact you design your character look, so it can just look like me. I plan to try and make some props for this, other than the pipboy which is absolutely necessary, I'd like to try and make a Nuke Cola Quantum bottle (which actually glows), a Plasma Rifle (because as guns in the game goes it doesn't look like real life guns), and maybe a Bottlecap mine - but I'm worried that will look too much like an explosive. Ideally I'd want to make a glowing pipboy screen, complete with glowing buttons and a controllable clicker to replicate the Geiger counter. If anyone has any suggestions about how to do any of the above, please comment.

Not really sure on whether I can give advice on the props, but I do know I'm very excited to see how you get on with this- espacially the laser rifle!

The pipboy thing - have a look on youtube! Plenty of tutorials for making realistic pipboys!

The most common one is to buy on of the Pipboy alarm clocks - remove the clock, and slot in an iPhone with the PipBoy app so the screen resembles that of the games PipBoy!

I've taken lots and lots of screen shots so I should have enough references to work from now.
