YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE...MAYBE TWICE!
post apocalyptic cospaly
so while researching for my zombie hunter con costume i fell in love with post apocalyptic cosplay. everything from fallout props to original works. it's just such a cool look and you can do anything with it. it requires little money if you know how to scavenge and helps prepare all of us for what it's gonna be like after they rise. i felt wickedzombies was a good place to bring this to help expand the site. so with all that in mind I'm going to be posting cool stuff i make and design here. and if you catch the bug or maybe if you already have it then i welcome you to post your stuff here too.

if you are going to invest in something that engraves. go a Dremel Tool. with all the DIY projects you do. this tool would be way more versatile then a standard engraver and the bits and accessories for them are endless.

yeah i want one but its so expensive like 60 for bargain basement one.

well i got an update on some props. i was finally able to complete my pa shepherds crock by adding barbed wire too it.
i went with something between fake and the real stuff. i made it out of bailing wire. i too a long piece folded in half and then twisted together. then i added the spikes by twisting small lengths around it. it looks better then the fake stuff but the barbs aren't sharp so it's safer. frankly I've gotten worse scratches from the phone wires wrapped around the center then from this fake barbed wire.
next it this medallion i made. its actually some kind 911 memorial thing i found it on the ground when i was walking and thought it looked cool. i roughed it up a bit added scratches and dings. made it look like it went through the pa. i planed to wear it as part of my shoulder armor. on the belt that runs across my chest. so i bent a piece of aluminum into a belt clip and JB welded to the back but theirs no room on that belt for it so I'm gonna make another belt to go across from the other shoulder and it will be on that. i might make it a bandolier i don't know yet.
and finally here's a better pic of my flask, just for the hell of it.

so wanted to show you even more of my costume that I've gotten these are works in progress and the first is this cheap pair of knee pads.
only i wont be using them on my knees frankly they're to crappy to use as intended. so I'll use one as a shoulder pad to off set my homemade one on my other shoulder. and then use the remaining pad as an elbow pad on the same arm. first i have to PA them up a bit. I'm thinking a black wash on the fabric and painting the plastic caps so they look like worn metal.
I'll replace the cheap stretch webbing they came with, for leather belts. the shoulder pad will have a harness on which that medallion i made will sit.
the last prop is a hand held transiver i made complete with ear piece.
the body is made out of an old broken walkie talkie. i took the front cover off, replaced the antenna with a bent wire and burned the circuit bored with a lighter to get the cool char pattern you see. they're are more things i want to do to it. like ad a blinking led and maybe the analog channel meter from an old radio.
but the body is only one half. the other is this ear piece i made form an old 90's toy and few electrical odes and ends. i want to get the led on this one to blink too. i thought that would be cool
so what do you guys think?

Been Awhile, BUt I'm still Alive
Greetings Everyone, Well it's been awhile. As things go, life carries us all in different directions from time to time but you always find your way home sooner or later. Well, life ain't all fun and games, but right now, things are going good. I have restarted my writing on my book again, and as I learn more about about some of the ROle-playing games I have gotten into, I am seriously thinking about rying to create an actual Zombie Survival Role-playing game. But have not set any time…
