Team Fortress 2 Scout Costume!

How to make a costume and be the Scout in real life!

This is my entry for the DIY haloween constest in the category "Costume"

I know this has been done before, but, without any offense, the instructable uploaded here is kind of weak and detailless

This Covers:
*Shirt
*Pants
*Socks
*Shoes
*The Bag
*Hat
*Headphone with mic
*Bat (actuallly you dont need a fake one, but i live in argentina and there's not a lot of cheap baseball gear here, so im going to make one!)
*Hand bandages

Step 1 Introduction continued: the idea and the sources

Before you can cosplay somebody or something, you will need something to start with. I took these pictures of the Scout from http://www.teamfortress2.de/tf2_class_scout.php and as there are 3 views its a good thing to start with. There were also pics of the bat that will be in the correspondient step.

Really good instructable, but I think you have been better off using a real bat. I also think it's funny how lame everyone else's costume is.

[skarum]

if anyone is interested in making cheap tf2 props, I'm going to be putting on some instructables soon.

The scout is from Boston, Massachusetts. Not Brooklyn New York. You have a typo. Just  correcting you.

[HoopDoop]

He actually is from Brooklyn, one of the achievements for the Scout is "Dodgers 1, Giants 0" now i suppose that could also mean he's from L.A. but he has a Brooklyn accent.

[theonefreerunner]

infact http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Scout all you need to know

[theonefreerunner]

no hes from boston he has several references to the redsox as well the reason they reference the dodgers and giants is not for where he lives but the size of heavy weapons guy vs. scout its been mentioned many times the scout does live in boston

Why not just use a real bat?

[zhobbs]

At most conventions real bats can be illigal.

[the_burrito_master]

I see.

That clothing part, about put the shirt inside the pants, but the picture it seems that you didnt put it inside! the belt is over there D: . 2nd.

I want to buy a real batmagnet not the crumpy make, but your creative! 6th. Yah belt! the symbol, it needs to be shae rectangle! 7th. You dont have bandages on the pic! 8th.

Scout is from Boston, Not Brooklyn.

[irxo]

damn straight. remember. "birds. fly. trees grow. and brother, you hurt people"

[ColinTheIntelligent]

He's Like a force of Nature!

[santy22]

Moar liek "Birds Fly, Grass Grows, Sun Shines. And brother, I hurt people!." i repeated that phrase every time someone asked what the hell i was dressed as.

[BTR.TF2.HTR]

Apparently, I actually have the offical Force A Nature shirt AND a Scout track jacket. I always say that when I'm Scout. c:

"If you were from, where I was from, you be f**kin dead."
"BONK"

[corey_caffeine]

BONK

[ColinTheIntelligent]

BONK!

[ampeyro]

it inspired me, maybe next year i go as demopan

[superMacaroni]

At first, I thought that was a 3D model of Vince!

[Ryutso]

The shoes the scout's wearing in the render look like this specific make of Nike sports cleats for some reason. Oh well. Black sneaks with white electrical tape, GO!

Other than that, all I need is the bag the headset and possibly the dog tags.

[HoopDoop]

[tomigm]

postealo en Taringa! y seguro llegas al top post!

[WhiteTigerTails]

I know how to make a bat you can hit people with. PM me if you want to know, but I may make in 'ible about it. I did make a few for something I do on Sundays...

[scott!]

 Can't you just use a bat?

[santy22]

 If i made a bat, that would mean "NO"
The reason i made it was i'm not a fancy baseball-freak yankee who has 10 bats in his room. I'm from argentina, and we play soccer and polo around here.

[shadow108]

I dont play any sport and even i have a baseball bat around my house.
Well its more a standard bat.

[spreek]

im doing a scout cosplay and i made sandman

[Colonel88]

Heavy is the funniest but I look good in a tux so i'm spy :D.

[red-king]

I'm trying to figure out what to dress as next halloween. i usually take a long time to make up my mind/ make a costume... so i start around this time. i'm thinking of going as a TF2 character... either the pyro, or the heavy... My favorite class is the pyro, but i dunno where to get a bloody gas mask(could make one i guess...).

This would be your best shot just put black plastic over the eyes. And the side filter can be moved to the other side don't worry.
