I'd just settle for some accurate badges.
Painted resin would even be fine by me, so long as they look right.

Just back from dragoncon and pleased to announce the 'Walking Dead' sheriffs were well received both around the hotels and in the parade. Nice to meet some fellow RPF'ers (Skruffy and Bronson)too. Also a big thanks to Jared whose awesome patches started it all:

You guys look great! I met the cast at Spooky Empire's May-Hem convention this past may. Jon Bernthal who plays Shane is always wearing his a cap, so it's very fitting. If anyone gets around to doing another run of patches, badges, etc. Please count me in! I'm looking for a replica of the crossbow Norman Reedus uses in the show, and I hope to dress up as him for the Spooky Horror con next month.

I don't know about you guys, but I had people thinking I was a real cop all weekend!
What a treat it was to get to meet you Bronson, and to march in the parade with you, Martin! Y'all are the best and your costumes look fantastic!
When Aideon (the Shane in the pics) and I were walking around the con, we had quite a few people who have worked on the show mob us and tell us how great the costumes looked and how excited they were to see people making costumes from the show. One of the camera guys we met even broke out his phone and showed up some behind the scenes stuff that he took pictures of while filming season 2 (no spoilers, though)!
I had people thinking I was a real cop every time I wore the costume, too! I got stopped 3 different times on my way to the D*con parade by people asking me for directions (yay for being able to answer them correctly). I had a woman come up to compliment me on my "costume" (thinking she was being coy and that I was a real cop). When I told her thanks and that I was *really* in costume her jaw hit the floor. There were people avoiding eye contact and pretending to be on their best behavior every time I made a circuit around the main hotel floor... I've never seen flasks tucked away so hastily before! But the vocal shouts of "Awesome! They're from Walking Dead" during the parade were the best. Not everyone realized we were part of the parade (and not the parade security) but those that did got a HUGE kick out of seeing us. The city is definitely aware of the show, since it is filmed there, and the crowd reactions were priceless. What a fantastic time!
And now here are a few pics of Somerset Fox, Aideon, and myself from the parade staging area:

I have another interest thread up in the junkyard for the patches. Hopefully I can get enough interest to have them out before Halloween.

For the name plate, I just took a guess off of what Quartermaster sells.
And, yeah, there's a Junkyard thread for run #3 of the patches.

I got hassled on Thursday wearing my Sheriff Carter by a rent-a-cop, but D*Con security took my side because my gun was properly peace bonded. The cop was being an ass, D*Con security guys zip tied my gun 15 different ways to make the guy go away, then gave me a few and told me to cut them all off and put it back the way I had it.
After the con officially started, I didn't have any problems.
ETA: Skruffy has a picture somewhere of us in Walking Dead with some actual Atlanta PD officers. They knew exactly what we were, so that was pretty cool.
