Anyone doing Fallout costumes? I'm planning on doing a Craig Boone. After many years in the Army, I have enough military clothes to supply a small army of my own. Think all I need is Boones beret and beret patch. And a decent fake sniper rifle. Anyone have any info on those items?

John,

Awesome choice, man. Looking forward to seeing where this goes.

Sadly, no suggestions for his rifle other than "Scratch build?"

Should that be "Lookie what I just bought on eBay!"?

Right?! Now, I'm on a mad dash to get everything else. Main outfit is as easy as my local Army/Navy store, but the armor is going to be a bit more challenging. Found a suitable rifle, bought the patch and beret and I'm looking into pouches and bandoliers.
 
your looking for a canadian special forces baret. they are maroon or red.
fcsurplus.com sells them. i have one. fit in inches
 
Yeah, I bought a US Army maroon beret and it will work fine. I think my hardest part will be making the armor. I just want to do it right the first time. The rest of the costume should be okay to get. Thanks for everyone's help.
 
The ammo pouches on this page are pretty close. Warreplica - holsters bandolier gun paratrooper bag canvas leather As for the armor I suggest anti fatigue mats. The thicker ones. Cut your pattern out of cardboard first test fitting different shapes and sizes until you like how it looks on you before you cut the foam. Then transfer it unto the foam, add sew lines or stitch yard into it or whichever you wish, then plasidip a base coat, strap it with hotglue. I don't think you'll have any problems.

On the Plasti-dip which one would you suggest? I see several kinds here.
Plasti-Dip Products Category | Plasti-Dip, Plastidip and Plasti-Dip Coating. | U.S. Plastic Corp.
Are we talking the camo spray in like OD green or like the silver metalizer? I love your suggestions. Keep them coming! LOL!
 
It does come out like very thick spray paint. Layer in stages of light coats until it is coated 3-4 times allowing it to dry 30 minutes for each coat, and about 24 hours before you handle it. You can then use cheap $1 walmart spray paint. I tried expensive spray paints and even airbrush paint, it all crackles, but the flat cheap walmart paint doesn't for some reason. Probably a lot of talc.
 
This shirt isn't actually part of my costume, but thought it was pretty cool. If you also want one of these, go to redbubble.com and find captainjeff. Very cool design and you can get it in any t-shirt color you'd like. I just thought this one went well with the beret color.
