I'm currently in the process of building my own Pip-Boy, because in the future I intend to do a full NCR Desert Ranger costume, but I don't feel like any Fallout-themed costume would be complete without my very own wristworn computer. Anyway, currently in the process of building it, and instead of just throwing a piece of paper with the interface printed on it, I decided to make it capable of holding a cheap Galaxy 5s clone I purchased a few months back. It's going to have a much more rectangular screen than a typical Pip-Boy, and I feel like the entire prop itself is going to look a little longer than it did in the series.
The build is currently two pieces, a main body which holds the phone, and the faceplate, which I will be securing to the man body with a couple of small hinges. It's all make of layered foam board and craft foam, held together with hot glue. I bought a 3 inch diamete PVC pipe to cut into the length i need to mount it all to my wrist, which I haven't started to work on yet.
I need something to fill in the jagged edges and parts I couldn't sand down, but other than Bondo, which I know is very heavy, and wood putty, I'm not really sure what i need to be using for that. Any suggestions would be very welcome.
I even added a port on the side so the phone can be charged without being removed, I'm planning to modify the USB 3.0 cable to match the rest of the build.
I put a visor over the screen on the faceplate that's a lot more rounded than the original, but it is a wider screen and I feel like it fit a bit better.
