/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

Hey /cgl/! I'm going as a Hurl Scout this year. A couple questions:

1. Helmet. A friend gave me one to use - it's made of some sort of matte black plastic (sorry, I don't know much about these things!). What's the best way to paint it green?

2. Fake tattoos. I do want them to look as realistic as possible. I was thinking about using henna, but I know it's often hard to trust "henna" from a store. Someone suggested using a surgical marker... any other suggestions?

3. Patches. Is there anywhere I can buy realistic Girl Scout patches (especially the number ones), or do I need to get them from the actual GS organization? Can regular people even buy them?

Thanks for all the help you've been giving so far!
