Hey dude, really nice costume. I just watched the movie and I have to agree with everyone here, I want to cosplay as a WCKD soldier too.
Can you tell me how you put the mask on the shemagh and how to tie it, I'm having hard time trying to figure that out

Hi, I am interested in purchasing a helmet if it is available. I'm gonna use it for airsoft and some cosplay. You can contact me on discord XDToasty3712.

This went up for auction last week. Don't suppose it was anyone here bidding on it?

And in case anybody was still interested, Here are Newt and Gally's pants, and Frypans vest and sweater for those wanting to replicate the WCKD security guard look.

I Found these little magnet activated LED lights that are a pretty close match to what they used in the films, albeit a little bit smaller.

I bought the jacket they used for Newt in the Death Cure.
Its made for construction workers so its obnoxiously bright red in real life. I was able effectively replicate the color in the films by combining several RIT dyes, and it came out looking great!
The reflective Scotchlite strips were tinted red by the process, But in some of the behind the scenes shots of the jacket It looks like the strips have a similar red tint, so I'm assuming the production team used a similar method to achieve the color they wanted.
I Took a bunch of before and after photos of the jacket and the dying process, but i lost them somehow... Heres a few pictures of the jacket as it is now. The color actually appears darker in real life then it does in these photos, But if you compare it to a couple photos I have of Gally's jacket that sold in auction on eBay a few years ago, the color of the inside of the jacket matches quite well.
I'm assuming they dyed the jackets dark red, then painted some of them blue, hence the inside still being dark red. In some close ups of Gally in the movie you can see the red underneath the blue paint where the jacket has been distressed.
Only thing left to do is add the Velcro on the arms for the WCKD patches.

Found something interesting on eBay last night...
Snagged a production made WCKD jacket with "Thomas" written on the label suggesting it may have been initially meant for Dylan O'Brien
Only cost $30 Hell of a lucky find, one mans trash is another mans tressure and all that.

You’re not allowed to post links to buy things on here, so if you included the eBay listing in your post, it would have been blocked

Welcome to the RPF.
Check your inbox, I sent you a PM
Also, the ones they used in the movies are cut in half diagonally so there’s less bulk to them and it’s easier to fit a mask over them.
