Just inputting what I did for my Scout (sage of selfpost, BLU Scout in the middle):
-Hat:
As stated previously, a military surplus store would work. I got mine
off of Amazon, two kinda acutally but the one I have doesn't fit.
-Bag:
Yoga bags tend to work best due to the smaller size compared to real
baseball bags. However, the draw back is all the zippers and shit which
draws the route to make one's own. Really all people will see is the
strap, but you can use the bag to carry shit around with you if you
happen to take it to a con. IIRC, there /is/ a pattern someone posted
on coscom...
-Headset: Take a pair of earmuffs, pull one off,
paint it (Acrylic paint is best since I used spray paint and caused
more trouble than what it was worth). There's a small black rotator
type thing on the side used to pull the mic up and down, as seen in the
Meet the Scout video. I've seen way too many people leave out this
detail. But, going the cheap way, grabbed a bottle cap, painted it and
bought a detachable mic and used a power drill so it would fit in.
Gluing a piece of wood in the cap to drill a screw on the inside of the
headset to secure it in place.
-T-shirt: If you can't help yourself on this one...ugh...I need a lighter one myself.
-Pants: Being cheapo again, khakis for me. Rolled them up to about knee length. Baseball pants would probably work better.
-Socks: Soccer socks, I can't seem to find a decent pair myself.
-Shoes:
I got a pair of Adias which seem pretty accurate. However, 3 stripes,
Scout has two. Needs modification. In the pic, at Otakon, I didn't have
said shoes at the time so tried to pick the next best thing I could at
the time.
-Bat: Spray paint a plastic one. I was lucky enough mine already had a black "handle". |
