Just picked up an M1 Helmet Painted white and Weathered prop from the Band of Brother series to add to the collection
It was used in the bastogne scenes. Mite come in handy if there is ever a CIA winter game
I was keeping an eye on that myself but went for too much money for me
Was only £45 i thought that was quiet resonable

Dont think it came with a liner,thats what made it expensive-to me anyway

ahh right...nah its got no liner...but i'll just swap the one out my other easy company helmet. Its more just to add to my collection of M1's lol.
Trying to get one from each period of usage. got my 506th Para, SPR 2nd Rangers helmet, a used Vietnam helmet with original graffiti and now the BOB bastogne helmet.
A Blankfire adapted M1 Carbine, 3 15-round magazines, and a carrier bag.
Can't get any blanks for it at the moment though.

m3 leg knife ( just waiting for the rubber one from the states)
leg knife strap ( original from e-bay , cheaper than SOF repro)
Just arrived from WPG:
Browning holster
Shirt, Tropical, Cellular (I needed at 42 which was out of stock on webby so ordered 40 and asked them if they could scour the shelves for 42. 42 arrived and it fits well! )
Tropical BD trousers (size 36 fits fine using adjusters so I'm not worried about shrinkage)
Khaki rain cape
Ordered 16th, arrived 24th. Can't fault Jerry for kit, service, delivery and esp prices - the exchange rate has done us a huge favour there. I can't see any convincing argument for using Replicators (unless you are an odd size and need made to measure).
Just received medic Yoke and 2 medic bags, plus all the neccessary straps to stop it from falling apart!
Brought back from W&P
I'd like to see those trousers.. I've got some KD ones coming from Sanjay... Mainly bought because I believe the WPG ones to actually be a post war pattern... but we'll see. Also Sanjays cost only £24 shipped.
order from wpg arrived, MkVII gas mask bag (so I don't wreck my great uncles arp kit) and a revolver holster for my sam browne belt although the leather is very stiff and will need a vast amount of saddle soap to soften up enough to use!

I've ordered a couple of gunbags from these folk http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Airsoft-Accessories-Supply to see what they are like. Always a wise move to keep your guns safe and away from the public gaze.
Got an original B4 life vest and a repro usn 'invasion' life belt on the way. ATF have sent me 2 Ike jackets and a set of HBTs to pad out my American kit, a crusher and some RAF bits from WPG.
I finally found a set of the wide Aussie pattern cross straps and water bottle carrier to go with the larger size pouches I found. there is an large size belt coming to team up with that lot.
There is a set of Luftwaffe overalls, tropical pants and shirt on their way from panzerfaust in HK.
4 varied repro US ammo crates from a chap in 2nd armored.

four sten gun magazines to fit mid caps into
"Major Bernard Himmler, does the name mean anything to you?"
huh? how does that work?
I will be round at Tim's next thursday to finish off my sten MkII, as pretty much all of it is made out of steel from original plans we have been building the magwells to fit 50 round mp40 mags as they are pretty easily scourced. However as I'm a bit of a stitch faschist and am making mine as accurate as possible, the magwell on mine is to fit real sten mags which after having the business end trimmed and the runner and spring removed will accept classic army 9mm subgun 100 rnd mid cap mags (these are to fit in M4 magwell conversion kits for DEA/law enforcment variations- basically they are plastic uzi mags!)
don't worry, all will be apparent once she's finished and ready to sort out the hun!
"Major Bernard Himmler, does the name mean anything to you?"
ahah... I'm rather envious of all that... mmm...
uberwaller, where did you get the classic army mags from?
