Hey everyone! So, I posted in the Replica Props area not that long ago regarding tips for starting to create props from the upcoming video game for some original characters. http://www.therpf.com/f9/help-guidance-tom-clancys-division-216169/
In the meantime between then and now, I've been gathering about pieces for the build. Mostly different clothing articles and such, and I selected what sort of pack I wanted to use. Here's a quick colored concept of what I'm hoping the final piece will turn out looking like:

I've got most of this in the bag, some pieces (specifically, the belt with the drop holster) being recycled from my Leon Kennedy RPD costume.
The arm-band still needs to be made, but that shouldn't take all that long. The jacket was originally going to be a black Dickie's Eisenhower jacket, but a friend pointed out that was going to be very heavy on the black for the upper torso after I sent him a few test photos; and I agreed with him. During the day it looked fine, but in dim light it all muddled together. After playing around with the color of the jacket a little, I settled on burgundy as a great choice. I plan on getting a hold of another Eisenhower, but in gray, and dyeing it, as they don't make them in the color I want.
Some parts are having to be made. These are specifically the comms device and the smart watch. For the comms device, I drew up a rough template to build a model with paper.

View attachment 348475 (test build to see if the template would work, made in standard printer paper for the test; quarter next to it for scale)
Fairly happy with how that's turning out. Just got to work on it a bit more and the material it's built out of, then I'll be ready for rigging the lighting.
And speaking of rigging for lighting, I got in the mail an order of 3mm LED bulbs that I've been waiting on so that I could test the idea I had for the watch (which I'll likely apply to the comms device as well). For this, I used an old watch body that fit the size of the watch I'm wanting to use for the final prop. I
View attachment 348476put a printed out graphic on printer paper on the inside of the lens. It looks like it's missing in the photo, but that's because the backside of the paper is still white. Also, the SD card has nothing to do with the build, I just pulled it out of my phone to place the LED bulb on so it could be seen.
View attachment 348481 The LEDs are simply placed onto the CR2025 battery and fixed in place on the backside with a small piece of electric tape.
View attachment 348483 The LED/CR2025 combo is them placed on the back plate of the watch with a small piece of double-sided scotch tape (you can also see the graphic on the printer paper as seen in the lens of the watch this time)
View attachment 348485 Here's a shot of how the illumination looks with the LEDs housed inside.
View attachment 348487 Another shot, with less ambient light to show off the glow.
This is my first attempt at trying to work with LEDs in a costume/prop, so I'm very pleased with how simple I was able to accomplish the goal and how decent it came out. There are obviously some small things I'm going to improve upon for the hero watch, but so far I'd say the test was a success.
PS: I'M NOT SURE WHY THERE ARE THE TWO UPSIDE-DOWN THUMBNAILS. Sorry if it annoys anyone else as much as it does me; not sure how those got there...
What graphic did you use? Id like to recreate the watch instead of paying 100 for a collectors edition replica?

Ahh I finally finished my Agent Cosplay. Just gotta add a couple more things to the back and its finished, what do you all think, the backpack is based off some concept art from the collectors edition, in which the backpack has a axe on it.

Thank you and I actually got it 3D printed. I found some guy who would do it for me on Instagram, he only charged $17 which includes the shipping since it came from Canada, and I got the file from MythMaker, he has a link for the file at the end of thread #2 I belive, I could give you the username of the guy in Instagram if your interested.
Yeah definitely. I'm still working on my Agent get up. The beacon and the comm watch are the 2 biggest things I need.

Which one?
Im in Canada, could you PM me the details so I could contact him as well? Thanks very much
It's basically a cheap version of the Maxpediton Sitka. The bag it self isn't relatively small. Actually it's the reverse model of my original post.
