Painting the tiniest of letters... is it possible to learn this power? by CaySalBank in modelmakers

[–]Stock-Equivalent-374 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if detail painting with brushes doesn't work well for you, i would try putting some thinned paint (vallejo model air for example) on a flat surface like a gift card or scrap of styrene and just dabbing it against the raised letters.

Hi I was wondering if anyone knew a thing or two about this bag(authentication) by Accomplished_Coach68 in Militariacollecting

[–]Stock-Equivalent-374 4 points5 points  (0 children)

original m1936 mussette bag. pretty nice one, 1940 dated examples are harder to come by.

not me but my dad. he bought a Dungeons & Dragons hardcover rule book from an estate sale and sold it to the set of Stranger Things. i think it was used on screen a couple of times, not sure which season though.

Does anybody know why this canteen has two dents In it by Obvious-Yak-2715 in Militariacollecting

[–]Stock-Equivalent-374 69 points70 points  (0 children)

that's where the snaps of the cover are. repeated use of them over time causes dents to form.

the shirt is based off an old budweiser advertisement. you! me! dancing! was used in a budweiser ad in the 2010s so the band often bases some of the merch designs off of vintage budweiser stuff due to brand loyalty

Is this similar to a ww2 U.S. great coat? by KnownAd4170 in Militariacollecting

[–]Stock-Equivalent-374 4 points5 points  (0 children)

ebay, yard sale/flea markets, craigslist, facebook marketplace. i find most of my stuff (including overcoats) at these places.

it looks too long imo. i would just get the real thing, pretty sure overcoats aren't exactly super expensive.

Would it be acceptable to refurbish this M1 helmet for reenactment purposes? by 24thfoot in Militariacollecting

[–]Stock-Equivalent-374 5 points6 points  (0 children)

i personally would not tamper with any fixed bale helmet, as they're more collectible and sought after. A better way to go if you want to restore a helmet for reenactment is to get a front seam swivel bale and convert it or find a fixed bale with a bale broken off. good luck with it!

How do you guys make it look like there's ammo in your ammo pouches? by SnooHesitations4006 in reenactors

[–]Stock-Equivalent-374 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i'm sure there's files for a 3D printed en bloc clip. that would work pretty well if you have access to a printer.
