This is still a slight work in progress, but it is finished enough to show on DA. I got back into watching the old school DBZ and DBGT episodes and figured I would try my hand at making an actual working scouter. Although I couldn't replicate the sounds when activated, I was able to integrate 3x LED lights that display on the green view screen and look very much like they do on the TV show when activated. The red button on the side activated the lights just like the anime scouters from the show. The bottom photo is the best one I could take that shows how it lights up. Granted its tough to catch flashing lights on camera lol

I made this entirely out of scratch, I cut up an old pair of rifle range ear muffs for the general body, but because of their weight and thickness i had to do some serious modifications to the original design. the rest of the scouter is made from scratch with plasticard, plexiglass and lots and lots of drummel work. I used base-coat clear car paint on this one to make sure the finish holds up, no cheep Walmart Krylon here kiddies I plan on swapping out the eye piece as I did not have green plexiglass handy for making this one, so I had to use green translucent glass paint which really didn't stick to plastic so well. Once I swap that out, it should be ready for wearing at a Con.....and yes it does mount to my ear without a silly headset like the crappy Taiwan toy ones needed.
