Lajjvo Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 bravo1nine: Very nice photos indeed. You've managed to look miserable on all of them too. I'm with Grindstone on this one. With some tweaks in photoshop, those pictures would look authentic! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DanHS Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 Seem this is the most appropriate thread for my new loadout. It's a work in progress, but it's starting to take shape. Late 80's Mujaheddin: Â Â I borrowed my sister's aviators for the picture, need to grab a regular pair (obviously not using them in-game). Now I need a chicom chest rig instead of the Pantac, a more mix and match assortment of magazines, a few more Afghan items (decoration on the gun, knife, etc), and some old style Soviet boots. Also, everything needs to be used and worn quite a bit, it's all much too clean and shiny. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

IMHO, you need less firearm safety in this loadout Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheFull9 Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 (edited) Is it worth compromising safety and consistency of good practices just for a tiny bit of authenticity though?

DanHS Posted August 11, 2012 Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 (edited) Haha, I actually thought about that. I guess I'll say that since I have what would at that time be new US made BDU pants, that I was partially supplied and trained by the CIA, lol. I was actually trying to cover the modern vest up with the gun, it probably would be more historically accurate to be pointing the gun up in the air while exhibiting poor trigger finger discipline, maybe I'll do that pose when I finish my loadout. Â As far as making progress, I got a Type81 Chicom, still need to get more appropriate boots (I decided against cheap shoes like Iran or China might have supplied, and the shalwar kameez pants, since I still want to be comfortable and not get hurt). I might try and go the easy way and get some of those cheap knock-off USGI jungle boots, if I'm gonna go with the CIA supplied idea. I'm also actually thinking of trying to come up with custom aviators that will provide proper eye protection (I can get custom lenses done, so all I need is a frame with sufficient lens retention and wrap-around protection). Then all that's left is to get the correct Afghan little tassels for decoration, come up with a couple little items that fit in, and roll around in the dirt and beat on the gear enough to look like I was actually out in the mountains for weeks.

DanHS Posted August 13, 2012 Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 and for the love of god, fakelite those magazines  Yea, I have to do that too, but first I want to get a couple real Bakelite mags to go off of, unfortunately they're a bit pricey in the US, around $45 each now (a few years ago they could be had for about $5, but I hadn't gotten into real AK's yet and had no idea, wish I did).

titchikov Posted September 2, 2012 Report Share Posted September 2, 2012 Bravo1nine, really liking that SAS Jungle loadout, ant chance of a kitlist for the webbing? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DanHS Posted November 17, 2012 Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 (edited) Update of my Mujaheddin impression. I think this is better. I wore the shalwar kameez pants in these and wore an old BDU jacket, if I'm going with the late 80's Mujaheddin then some US gear may be acceptable. I did find some PLA shoes that might be suitable, not sure if I'd actually wear them in-game, but if they were good enough for the PLA, they might be ok. I never did fakelite the mags, I fear the finish will eventually wear off the mags because they scrape together a lot. If I ever have the fortune to come across some Bakelite mags with worn or broken feed lips, I'll turn them into airsoft mags.

RIXX Posted November 21, 2012 Report Share Posted November 21, 2012 I like the loadout very mucho grande! Much better now! not sure about the posing with the RPK in picture 1 and 2 cause of the long barrel.... ?! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ham Posted December 25, 2012 Report Share Posted December 25, 2012 My early 90s East German impression (AKM is in the shop, would've used that otherwise). I need jackboots, helmet net, gas mask canister, and a zeltbahn then it is complete. Rain camo and east german stuff is cool and extremely cheap. You can just feel the oppression when its all on.
