I have but do not want; I want but do not have

[the_fantastic_ms_fox]

Here I have:
- my mum's old LP turntable - Beth's taking it
- a radio/8-track audio hub thing (what the wires go into from other music-y devices and out to speakers).

You want either? They're yours.

Elsewise I get rid of them in a week.

Does anyone have a busted backpack or an old web-belt?
Having finished my fantabulous Starbuck outfit, I now assemble a vault dweller costume.

Starbuck outfit? Oh, my god, that's just about perfect.

It is surprisingly apt for several reasons.

does the turntable work? I'd take that!

You want a /working/ one!?
Fine. Fine. Alright already. I'll pass on smashing it with a frozen bunny.

How to get it to you though? You go over to Chris' much? If he's okay with it, I could drop it there.

If looking for vault dweller gear, I would suggest the surplus place on the Quay in New West. It's got lots of old uniforms and surplus military camping gear.

The army surplus places on 12th street in new west or on Broadway in Van would be good too. Or I could rummage around and see if we still have one of the broken ones around. I keep a lot of crap.

If you're making a vault dweller costume (and, I assume, we're thinking of the same source material), how are you going to do the bodysuit? It *is* a bodysuit, after all. The rest seems pretty easy, including sourcing a fitting weapon (assuming you're going that far).

(Oh, and hiya! I've been following your journal for a while now, and I'm in your new comm... somewhere. :p Your journal's helped make me feel less alone and more willing to assert a butch identity - thank you!)

I'm glad that you like the community. Really glad. Post away!

For the suit itself, I got a denim bodysuit which I presume is from the 70s. I'm modifying it by removing the giant collar and making the cuffs less... uh... 70s.

It will make taking a pee inconvenient.

I don't understand what you mean by "sourcing a fitting weapon." Could you explain please? I am interested in making a weapon prop of some kind, and slinging it on the belt along with dried lizard-on-a-stick (which I can buy near my house).

Thanks. :)

The suit itself looks plasticky, but finding a wetsuit of an appropriate color is probably too much of a pain in the ass. Denim should be fine. What vault number are you going to give it? The first Fallout Bible contains a list of 'canon' Vaults you could use (34, 56 and 69 are all fairly amusing choices, or you could go with good ol' 13).

Sorry, I meant sourcing a fitting weapon *prop*. A pipe rifle is fitting, but bulky, and not exactly obvious on how to make it. I'm looking, but my best guess is that if you have a bit of woodworking skill and access to a hardware store, you should be able to make a good fake pipe rifle. You could also try buying an airsoft Mauser C/96, Desert Eagle, Uzi, P90, FN FAL or something like that, but a pipe rifle would prolly be cheaper to make and more fitting.

Also, I'm not sure what toy stores are like up there, but you could probably get an Uzi or revolver replica for pretty cheap. Some sandpaper to make it look like it's been through hell, and you're good to go as far as the prop's concerned.

I have a superfluity of busted backpacks, you are welcome to take your pick.
