WARRIOR CLASS STUDIOS: Jill Valentine - The Fun Details Part 1

In this post, I'll share with you how I got together the First Aid Spray, Herbs/Mixed Herbs, and Grenades. Jill carries two visible First Aid Sprays on her back left hip. And it looks like they're just strapped on to the utility belt.

This is what I used to hold the First Aid Spray. More on how I threw this together in this previous post.

For the First Aid Spray itself, I needed something that was going to fit well on the belt, not too heavy or bulky, so I decided on a smaller sized can of spray paint from Michael's. You can also get it on Amazon.

I took off the lid and emptied the paint into a strong east wind because I had no use for glitter paint, and the size I needed didn't come in any other colors...
I bought the digital downloads for the First Aid Spray from "PaulElderDesign" on Etsy. He sells the downlads for the ammo as well. The design is a little different form the one in the game, but it could also be another version (changes throughout the games over the years). I took the design to Office Depot and had them print out the files on #110 Cardstock (I got two copies of each as well as for all the ammo). Was about $20, not bad.

Next I peeled off the label on the spray paint and had to trim down the sides of the print out so it would fit under the grooves of the can.

I used a hot glue gun only on the part where the label overlapped to avoid bumps under the surface.

"RedDevil00" was a big reference for all of these details, by the way. Thank you!

For the herbs, I wanted to use actual edible herbs (not that I'd whip them out and start eating them, just for realistic purposes). I had some glass (I think?) tubes already but I also wanted some smaller ones. If you've ever been to a Ren Faire and bought a rose, they come with a little tube of water on the ends. I had a billion of those (I saved them for prop purposes) and used them for this! I put some hot glue on the top to seal the hole where the stem was, but it had come off a while later.

Then I found these at Michael's! Instead of a top that kind of pops on, the tops twist screws on, so no gaps or holes- perfect! They're called "Glitter Mixing Tubes" and you can find them on Amazon, too.

Now that I had small tubes and larger tubes, it was time to fill them. I went to my local grocery store and picked out these. They each had a the color I was looking for- bright and distinctive, and more importantly, they each had a different texture.
Green = Parlsey
Yellow = Chicken Stock Base
Red = Blackened Seasoning

I put some in small tubes and then combined some in the larger tubes to get the 'mixed herb' look. I put the heavier yellow towards the bottom and the lighter green towards the top, but it also helps to make them almost full so there's no room for them to shuffle around.

Michael's as well as Amazon also has some smaller glass cork bottles.

Grenades. Regular explosive, flash and incendiary. Jill carries one visibly in the flash bang pouch at her back right hip. But more can be carried in the pouches or if you choose, the triple mag pouch.

This one has been a little tricky for me and I'm actually still in the process of making them. I took an air duster can and decided to use that because it's the right size and it already has a 'grenade-looking' cap.

My original idea was to print out the design on the outside of the grenade and glue it on like the First Aid Spray but that didn't work, so I decided to just paint on the design free hand and with stencils. The designs of the grenade labels vary but I chose the ones pictured above^.
