I'm slowly getting a reasonable FJ impression together (well, OK at 100 yards on a dark night...) but my attempts to convert my plastic Stahlhelm into an M38 helmet can most charitably be described as a dismal failure. I know the game uniform reqs say I can wear an M35, but I wondered if some kind soul had an FJ helmet I could borrow? I'm a 58 but bigger is fine as I can pad it.
If not, no worries as I'll wear my sidecap or M35. I'll continue to plug away at the plastic conversion as well.
Thanks
Martin

I've got (on a "bend it, mend/replace it" basis"), the following items...
Leather jerkin.
Denim battledress trousers, 34-35" waist.
37' basic webbing (belt, ammo pouches, small pack).
Mk2 helmet.
Khaki (modern, no2 dress) shirt, up to 44" chest.
Pump action Winchester "trench broom" lookalike shotgun, with 6 magazines.
German field grey trousers, 34" waist.
Jackboots, size 9.
When I want your opinion - I'll tell you what it is!

I have one you can borrow. I'm a 59. I doubt very much if you'll bend it 
Want to borrow: A 37 patt tanker style drop leg holster - with suitable holster filler if poss.

I can lend you the MK.II shorter version if you like ,with a choice of 1911 springer or a 38 Webley replica holster filler.
"I have one you can borrow. I'm a 59"
Great, thank you.
I'll bring my other helmets as well (the chopped up plastic one doesn't look too bad with a helmet net over it), but I'd much rather have a proper FJ helmet.
Cheers

Yes please. Thanks Sandy.
I'd like to borrow some basic 37 Brit webbing as I feel carrying a couple of small bottle of water might be a good thing. And looks better!

Ooh..... 
A bit late in the day I know but I have a full SS uniform going spare including basic webbing (MP40 or K98, just might need a breadbag & canteen)& jackboots. 58cm head, 42" chest, 36" waist, size 10 boots for 6ft 1"ish tall person.
does any one have a ski cap or helmet i can borrow as my cap haven't yet arrived
Luftwaffe? I have my M40 side cap. 58cm.
How big's your head Marsha? I have a 59cm FJ lid
Alternatively your coal scuttle lid would be fine. Not all FJ had the cut down ones 
my size is a bit smaller i'm 56 ill just bring what i have
i dont have the Luftwaffe cap just heer one
I'll sort you out with a para helmet Marsha, I've got Helga's which is small. And if nobody tells her I'm lending it out without her permission, all will be fine 
Just in case you are scaning the forum, Happy Birthday for tomorrow Helga
I think i'm lending out enough kit/clothing to Dave Barrett that I should go and he covers my on-call lol
