My company, like many, were putting on a Halloween costume contest. I had one costume, Assassin's Creed III, I wanted to finish before then but I ran out of time to properly execute. So, I needed to find something else that would tickle my fancy and make in a reasonable time frame. I had seen others make the Plastic Green Toy Soldier costume and felt that that was exactly what I wanted to do.Now, I understand that there are many tutorials on this costume theme but I have yet to see someone do the flamethrower prop and this is what this particular Instructable will be focusing on. I will include my trials and tribulations with the rest of the costume as well.

*note* I finished the costume just in time and entered the contest and won first place receiving a $50 generic gift card. Here's to owning Assassin's Creed III. ^________^

SUPPLIES
General

1. 1 QT - satin finish interior house paint - color - medium to light grey
2. 1 can (spray paint) - primer - grey
   Do not get black or white. It will take more paint to cover and kill the color beneath.
3. 4 cans 7 cans (spray paint) - high gloss - Meadow Green
   Found this color sold by Home Depot. I think it works the best. Reason, if you had to find an outside object you cannot paint and hoping get a green color that matches like I did, this medium like emerald green is perfect.
4. Glue gun
5. Generic white glue (water soluble or not. NO super glue. Did not work. I tried. (Unless you got the industry grade))
6. 1 awesome scissors
   I bought these scissors to cut thin wire and now I use them to cut everything like thick paper rolls or plastic bottles.

1. 1/2 YD of stretchy fabric like shirt material.
2. 2 plastic wiffle balls (baseball size) No foam. Paint would eat it.
3. 3 FT of rope.
   Little on the thick side. It is to be the hose from the rifle to the pack of the flamethrower. I had decorative cord you would line pillows, curtains and such with.
4. 3 sheets of card stock paper or card board
5. 2 - 2 foot tube containers with 2 lids
   I had 1 packaging tube container with 2 lids and 2 - 4 inch thick random tube rolls I think originally were for labels. Whatever you can find.
6. 1 - 2 paper roll(s) Toilet or paper towel rolls work.
7. 1 cheap grocery bag (the kind you bring to keep from using plastic or paper bags at a grocery)
8. 1 thin - squaty box that the lid opens from one side
9. 2 T shape 1 inch PVC hinges
10. 2 pill bottles (supplement or aspirin or the like)
11. 1 wooden pole - mop poll, painter roller extension poll or the cheap Pimp Daddy cane I had left over works too.
12. 2 paper cups
