Will Vale Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Hi folks, Quick digression in scale today as I made this 1:1 ID tag for my daughter to dress up as a zombie hunter: It's printed on my office printer, glued onto styrene sheet with Klear and cut out. Then I made a little seal from wine bottle foil embossed with a biro, and cut out a rectangle of Hasegawa polarize film so that the photo looks like it's holographic. I don't have a laminator (my wife's suggestion) or time to get it laminated, so I made the holder from clear PET sheet. I cut and folded it and then heated the folds in a candle flame (keep it moving!) to remove the stress cracks and tighten them up. There's a safety pin clipped/epoxied onto the back, and a bit of Blood for the Blood God for zombie chic. I think it looks quite cool, and hopefully means we don't need much other gear apart from khaki jacket and trousers that she already has. If I get any free time tomorrow I might try and do a gross sample of something in a ziplock bag though Cheers, Will 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Moore Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 That foil seal is very neat. Love the bloody thumb print too. Andy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Vale Posted June 1, 2017 Author Share Posted June 1, 2017 Thanks! It was so satisfying to do something we normally try hard to avoid The seal worked better than I dared hope, hooray for Helix circle templates. Will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will Vale Posted June 16, 2017 Author Share Posted June 16, 2017 Thanks! It was a great dress-up, we spent twenty quid or so in the Army Surplus shop and added an ammo pouch, khaki cap and some nice patches to the ensemble. I stencilled a red cross onto the ammo pouch, sewed the patches onto her jacket and picked up some travel bottles from the $2 shop to make zombie samples They're hard to photograph, but there are little rolled up/squished up "flesh" shapes from baked Super Sculpey in its natural colour, plus a blob of Blood for the Blood God and some black paint in each one. They look suitably gross Will 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thud4444 Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 That looks nasty. Not bad at all for a few bucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
