Paul,
That's freaking sweet!

I'm Curious to know how much money the whole uniform costs and If anyone is selling a full set replica. I would love to have one but due to work and all I just don't have the time to put it together.
 
Founds these on Ebay the other day, went ahead and ordered a set. While not perfect, the price isnt bad for what they are. I think they are a great cheap alternative for the "King County Sheriff Badge"

That's what we use. I sprayed mine gold though after taking some pliers to the points and bending it into more of a claw shape. You can see here they turned out well.

The Walking Dead costume :cool

Nice work, gents... I dig it. Planning on doing the same. How do you like the badges? Looks like mine will arrive by the end of the week
 
Finally got my badges in and customized them a bit... I love them. Obviously not 100% screen accurate, but they really get the job done

I love the walking dead. Nice job it looks great! You must have done a good job in talking the owner into selling to you. I'm really surprised they did sell it to you. Post 9/11 the uniform company's have really cracked down due to the possibility of their being used for terrorism by mandate of Homeland Security. I know I have to show ID when ever I buy mine and they cross check my name to a list of department members. One word of advice, be very careful wearing it in public. You wouldn't want to have to talk your self out of a felony. All that aside. It REALLY looks like the one worn on the show.


EDIT: Seeing all the uniforms out there, I guess things aren't as strict as they used to be. All those costumes look great.

I have ordered a set of those badges myself, seeing as my budget constrained me from going for Skruffy's beautiful ones. I really love the way you made them all gold except the center and I am very curious as to how exactly you did that. I almost have my costume completed and will be posting pictures very soon! Hope to see you all at D*con, parade and all!
 
Likewise, my friend.

As for painting the badges. Honestly I just cut a circle into painter's tape and masked off the center circle. I then primed the badges, then painted them the gold color. I took a black paint pen and drew the lettering back in, wiping away the paint after each line. The black will stay in the letters.

Then I hit the badges with a stain clear coat. I didnt want glossy... personal preference
