Just received Garrison Cap, helmet and vest(!) from SoF.

Bit unsure about the cap, WhosWill? had warned me about this; the sides aren't very stiff, and the whole thing is 'floppy'. Is it supposed to be like this? Also, can anyone direct me to the correct colour/tone paint for the helmet, and any tips to make it look as authentic as possible.

Just got home from Beltring, didn't buy that much (the stay in the hotel and the ferry pretty much drained my account)

British WW1 SRD bottle,
Signal Corps Garrison Cap from SOF (same quality as the MotionPictureProps ones),
MP Brassard for my friend Kenny,
2nd Armored Sticker.

Wanted to buy a repro 14" bayonet, but didn't get round to it.
