Cover the go kart in wood and make it a puma, kubelwagen, horch or something or other.
How about the berlin offensive, or defensive however you want to put it. ;D

How about this? You send your German gear over to me, I use it to produce my film, then I send you a copy of the film, and you use it for your project!

russian, try this out, its all east german stuff and very affordable. Try sportsmansguide.com as well they have deals on some east german stuff. www.tridentmilitary.com/EG-Uniforms.htmas for your movie, what kind of movie is it supposed to be? An action movie? Cause those consist of action scenes where you can take a knife to a gunfight and win, use one grenade to take out 30 guys, or live through 30 shots. No plot... usually.

well its supposed to be a 30 min film on the forgotten triumphs of ww2. Like i wanted to do a film of a almost green beret sort of group sent to take out a high german official. Is that something easier to work with ?

you'll also need special effects. Exploding squibs for gunshot hits might be a little too expensive, but for grenade or mortar explosions, you can rig up something like what Spielberg used to do when he was a boy. Take a flat piece of wood and set it up on top of a rock on the ground just out of camera range. Put some dirt and stuff on one side of the wood. When your actors run have them step on the other side of the wood which will send the dirt flying up into the air next to them making it seem a grenade or mortar landed right next to them.

Personally, I'd maybe try to give it a BBC / History Channel kinda' feel. You could maybe do some research on just one aspect of the war; one insident maybe, like the Malmady Massacre or maybe even a special on the German Snipers. You could also try to keep it with very little CAST (1, 2, 3 tops), and use your filming skills to portray the rest. Who know's? The subject matter is endless. I for one, am very interested in your projects, and would love to help you out with any and all ideas you may have. Good luck bro!--Ben
