War Boys: Mad Max Fury Road

[Junklady]

For the makeup:

I personally love Krylon Aquacolor. I used it last year for my post apocalyptic Harley Quinn. It held up well throughout the night. It's applied with water and washes off easily. I would also recommend a setting spray, I used Ben Nye's Final Seal. I bought some "dirt" and made pounce packs with panty hose so I would have that dirty look.

If you have a local costume shop, check with them, they'll likely have Ben Nye and/or Kyrolan.

oooh, thanks! i'll take a look at it. overkill is probably exactly what i'd need.
also, was wondering if anyone had any screenshots of the wrist cuff/chain that Nux wears? i feel like i can probably make a replica (i do a fair amount of leather work) but i can't picture what it looked like.

You can mostly see the wrist cuff in this:

So for the Ergodyne Arsenal 5550 3-Inch Padded Base Layer Tool/Work Belt that was posted on Karol's site, would it be best to get the belt with the style of a 3 inch, or 5 inches? Or if anybody has found a belt that better matches the War boy's belts please let me know, I'm trying to get a war boy cosplay going for San Diego Comic-Con this year and I don't have that much time left to get everything together.

I was looking last night, the side pouches are surplus pouch, model unknown yet.

similar to these but in a row, it also looks as if the cover is leather?




Im working on NUX BDU set,
on his right leg, there is one large pouch, a what looks like a flat tool roll, then the pouch set. or at least two flat roll/pouch sets.
On his right leg, I believe there is a knife and a ratty leather bag.

as far as the shoes, I believe someone posted a pics, I'll look for it if you need screen accurate, it mistaken for MM's boots, but I think are caller Matterhorn boots.

The pouch you have above looks like a collapsible entrenching tool/shovel cover

I wasn't saying it is that exact pouch, just similar pouch of the era and with the cover, I did see another one that had a couple together. I'll post updates.

I have some screenshots for some of the other belts that the War Boys wear. I don't know what type of belts they are, and I've been researching for days on what they might be but no luck.

For the belts I may just buy a old leather belts lot and a leather kidney biker belt and get to work.

Old leather, rivets and a lot of cheap local artisans.

Here's a video showing the silver food coloring spray you can buy in wal mart in action. It tastes like poison and though it'll stain around your mouth awhile, your teeth won't be silver long. If you want a thick coat, be prepared to sacrifice brain cells. This crap is vile. I did it like four times for the vid and I feel a little ill. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4RXeZuQxWCc&feature=youtu.be

Chefmaster Edible Spray tastes a lot better and comes in a better can (IMO). It's also more expensive, though.

Thanks for the tip on the silver spray. I had to laugh at the Amazon page where it shows what customers are buying along with the spray. I think there's a theme. Shiny and chrome!

HAHA! Yea, you're totally right. I looked at it myself.
