Aw, you broke my combo! Good job though - it's good to see some of the other nations get portrayed.
Same kit - different media. Enjoy!

Long Range Desert Group impression: Need proper headdress, this is just a light colored shemagh with 550 cord. I have all the other proper P-37 gear, but since LRDG guys were truck infantry, they didn't wear any packs, canteens, or another else on the rear of the belt, I didn't have them worn today. So, this is more of a "hopped right out of truck, and into the action" idea.

Very unique and very cool Dracul. I like it! Your ZB would work well with it also!

Thanks, but the ZB-30 (BREN) wasn't used by the LRDG. Maybe in the beginning, but they quickly found out that they needed to have trucks equipped with heavy machine guns to protect against air attacks. The BREN couldn't fill that duty.

Led two Independence Day parades today - and despite the clouds, I regretted wearing my M41. I'm really excited to start on my pack.

I must be missing something. These last pictures look to me like you are dead on. Your impression looks great!

Thanks a bunch! I'll have to put a tiny spacer or something like that under the rear scope mount as the tube is pointing slightly up (you can just barely see it in the top 2 pics), but other than that I'm pretty pleased with how it all looks and feels. Now I just gotta field the kit some more for them lovely grit and crap stains!

Working on it? Good Lord those look great! Beard is a bit too developed but of course you knew that. If you pulled a wool scarf across your lower face that would have facilitated it nicely and with ARDENNES background would have been quite appropriate. Thanks for sharing. Looks fabulous.

This was taken at a filming for a game trailer (Basically the Nazis use zombies to invade mainland U.S thru Maine) youtu.be/EX36uBoO0B8 its goofy but had a blast filming it, so the beard was kept for filming and the kit pics were just an after thought.

Took my stepson out yesterday, he lives in Texas with his dad. This was his first time playing airsoft and he loved it. He wanted to wear some of my gear and I was happy to oblige. From the waist up he is in mostly original WWII gear, army hbt, M1 helmet, WWII dated canteens with one 42 dated M1910 carrier. His belt and other carrier are repro (belt is japanese and the carrier is ATF 3rd pattern USMC). Bottom is 'Nam repro from the surplus store since I have nothing that would come close to fitting him.

Attended a open field day today and decided to use my S&T Springfield and my USMC kit to go with it. Managed to pop two guys at a range of almost 80 yards (also, my first kills with this gun). Wet and muddy as hell, but felt good none the less!

The pic is a bit blurry, but you get the idea. I helped with an amateur film shoot the other day and this is what I wore. Bazooka gunner, 82nd airborne, Battle of the Bulge. Not shown are leather-palmed wool gloves. While I don't do airsoft anymore, the bazooka is a heavily modified airsoft bazooka replica from Evike. It does the job well.
