So having nothing better to do with my Easter Monday I painted some PVC tape silver and stuck it onto my ankleboots, look somewhat like climbing irons at 10 feet, at least I can say I tried. :)

-Edit-

Had another go, came out a little better, see below.

I've fired a bullet on every continent. Nearly hit someone, too.

I did send them a picture but the snobs haven't written back! Just you wait till they see my paper craft sidecap and cardboard jackboots. They'll have to send me a badge at least. :-D

What about an MP40 made out of sticky tape and a washing up bottle?

"Will you stop talking about the war!!"
"What, you started it!"
"We did NOT start it!"
"Yes you did, you invaded Poland..."

Okay, so I decided to have another go at this and put some actual time and effort into it, these are what I managed:



Still far from perfect, but much better than my first attempt, and still far cheaper than a £300-400 set of repros :shock:

'upholstery pins' which are pretty much the same only with a longer core and smaller head, not sure how long they'll last in the field but they seem to take some effort to get out, we'll find out in August
