Don't forget to weather/ distress the clothing as well!
waiting for updates, Markus
Thanks you

I was going to suggest that you get a latex lead pipe, but then I scrolled down and saw the one you made yourself and that's waaay better.
Some thing I noted on weathering:
Gloves.
As someone who uses heavy duty gloves a lot I'd suggest you add some discoloring to the area of the palm where the pipe and chainsaw weapon rests the most.
Personally I'd do this by taking a piece of tubing approximately the same width as the handles of the weapons and coating it in some ash, dirt or similar with a tiny bit of water or oil to grease it up. Then you swing it around and handle it like crazy for a while, and then you try to rub it off against a stone or something. Rinse and repeat until satisfied.
The edges of the fingers could also use some more distressing. I've always found that the fingers go first in working gloves, and have a stockpile of useless gloves where the fingers are all gone.
Dragging sandpaper, steel wool or a steel wire brush over them might do the trick, but test it on the cut off fingers first to see what effect you like best.
Leather parts like the belt and dogtag strap:
Grease them up like crazy with some kind of fat or oil made for leather care (look for some kind of leather boot ) over the course of several days to darken the surface and making them more supple. Remember to rub of the excess between these applications so you don't rub grease all over stuff that might be destroyed by it.
Wear the dogtag strap all the time. It will weather it naturally over weeks and months. The back with the "hairs" you might want to grease and then rub with a bit of smooth plastic or piece of horn. It will smoothen it up and make it look less new.
Jacket:
Is that really fabric? I would have guessed it to be suede of some kind.
Try different things to darken and discolor it on any scraps you have. My suggestion would be to run over the bottom and shoulder seams with sandpaper to rough it up a bit. I'd also suggest you wear it when performing manual labor. You could also spray a very watered down mix of gray or dark brown paint on it and rub it of, but try it with scraps first to see what effect it causes.
Rough up an exposed seam or unpick it partially and resow it by hand with thick linen leather working thread or straps of leather. If you want you can give yourself a time limit, like one hour on the clock. It will stress you out and make the end product seem more on the fly, because this guy has zombies to kill after all.
You could also hang it outside for a couple of weeks, but the results are not as controlled as doing it manually.
The pants/shorts seem a little too clean to fit in. You could try dyeing them with a very watered down grey to make them less vibrant, then you wash and machine dry them repeatedly to make them more worn. After that you could probably add some splashes of fake blood or similar, and for added effect you could wash it off so it's faded, because who wouldn't want to wash of zombie blood?
About the dogtag: is that the original or the mold original? It looks fine to me. Maybe some dry brushing or sanding to make it less uniform?
Shin guards feel right. The legs seem a little exposed as it is now. An idea that struck me was that you could get a pair of old boots and then add a pair of gaiters made from old bed coverings or blankets, to add padding. Then you fasten homemade greaves on top of them, maybe even going so far as to add knee protectors.
You could also add spikes to the toe and shin to be able to kick with a vengeance.
For the helmet I though why not use an aviator cap as a base?

It looks similar to old knight arming cap which could draw fun parallels.
Then you add whatever helmet you want on top.
Here's an odd example:

Or maybe you want to go with something more Moebius-esque:

This is all I can think of right now.
Sorry if this came of as incohesive or rambling. I've got to get to work and don't have much time.

Wow lot of good idea.
Gloves : very good idea, i had not thought. i think i will wear a pipe with sand paper to discolore them !!
Thx so much for this tip !!
Leather : I will try different product to make it more dark ! maybe shoe polish ? or javel water
Jacket and pant : i'm really afraid by this step, if i fail omg >< i want to try some paint brush but don't know where to weather the pant. certainly under thigh guards.
I have to find shoes or old rangers and for the leg i plan to add one bandage with false blood. and maybe a shin protect
For the helmet i want to use a baseball helmet with some nail or pike and rusted paint.
I'm at work too and my english is limited ^^
thanks for all advice.
i've got 2 week to do it before my photoshoot
