err buy a smaller net!

The net he has is fine size-wise. He just needs to spray paint it dark green.

Often times they would use British webbing. It was smaller and occasionally did not fit.

how so? it's just an M-1 steel pot helmet with a medic insignia on it.

Must be the way the light is hitting it. The brim looks a bit too big, after close inspection I think it is the light.

as far as I can tell, it's way too big. Needs smaller holes.

They had helmet nets with holes that big.

For the record, I'd have to say DeadLogic's uniform looks more authentic, cept the helmet is kind of... "funny."

Looks pretty decent, just make it more seamless and fix the blood color.

Uh... kind of...

You're leaving out quite a bit.

I think he means the era of the Napoleonic Wars, not the Wars themselves. Right?

Hmm... looks like the site does not allow hotlinking to the images. Try these...

I tend to just put in the still image of the flash, but I've been experimenting with lighting up the surrounding area. I light it with AE.

A number of reasons. The book cover is just wrong; it's obviously just placed upside down with Photoshop. It's easier if you see the entire photo. http://snopes.com/photos/graphics/bush2.jpg As for the binocs, it isn't so much fake as it is bad timing. http://snopes.com/photos/graphics/binoc6.jpg an...

Most jackboots cost about $200 for authentic ones.

WRONG! It is $35 for only the main haversack. The pack carriers and meat can pouches are separate. Therefore giving you a grand total of $55 for a complete set. Well, you don't really need a pack carrier, so you'd only be looking at $45. You can also use M1910 Haversacks, as men did sometimes, and ...

I agree... I woudn't trust those last sites but I guess if you're on a tight budget...

And you do realise the pictures of Bush on your avatar are fake, right?

Try more like $50-70 for a complete set like that on eBay. I try all the time and never get them under $50. Then add shipping atop that. Go to Stan's site then. Complete set for $35 plus S+H. As for the dummy, leave the shirt untucked. They didn't tuck their tops in. Other than that it looks fine.

my belts are british issue

Ah, I see.

Yeah, I know the gear was the same, I'm saying they changed the dye color of all web gear during the course of the war.

Not many though. Even late war, only about 10-15% of the guys would have green.

The only think in that pic that looks photoshopped is the Swastika on the guy's hat. And the hair and the mustache During the normandy campaign, uniforms for the 101st airborne were a kakhi color. During the holland campaign, they were more of an olive drab color. During the Normandy campaign, they...

my army belts are green

Either late war though depending on the buckles it could be Vietnam-era.

WTF is that pic!?!?!??!!?!??!

It's a badly photoshopped picture of a race car driver to look like Hitler.

Yeah, good job on the costumes and setting.

Buying Guide For American Infantry Uniform, WWII Since most people don't have a clue as to what an American infantry outfit consists of, I figured I might as well set it straight. Here the basic items you need and the approximate costs and where to find them. Generally speaking avoid repros altoget...

because all the parts are there, they're just not exactly the same.

It looks nothing like an American uniform... the "parts" are irrelevent.

Those are mostly British stuff

Not that they're bad for a British impression... it would look like cr** on an American... lol

If you can find a good deal on WWII boots, get them. They're the most expensive item.

Other than that, it's always good to have field gear and uniforms.

Just make sure you buy the right stuff!

Ah, a garand belt. The one you posted DeadLogic is a pistol belt.

What's an army belt exactly?
