NEED help with Road Warrior costume

[Uncle]

To weather the chains, I'd suggest spraying them with some rust colored primer spray paint from about 18"-20" away. And try to not cover every square inch.

Then, another very light spraying with a flat black.

Last, take a small wire brush or file and lightly scrape through the paint in a few places to show the lines of metal. It should look worn and mistreated, but still in use.

Side note: if you have an airbrush, you can use cheap acrylics and anything you don't like you can wash off with Simple Green.

Love what you are doing with the Wasteland Militia costume! Seems, Max had lots of small greeblies, keychains and trinkets attached to his jacket, his belt even had a small hatchet in the back, so that might be something worth adding. A costume like this demands tiny details. And I agree, adding something to the head, maybe a headband, eye patch, goggles, or military type cap might be a good idea. I can't make out the feet, but tall boots, or gaiters or even some softball shin guards might be a good idea to add as well.

Tough line to keep from crossing, keeping the costume feminine yet warrior-esque. Good job so far.

You gotta think, these were to be a practical modern armor made from scrounged up parts, but at the same time, you had to be able to move in it [unlike say, stormtrooper armor]
