    If you really want to go for it, I'd say be brave with the weapons & kit and give it all a good dusting with Sand Krylon - get that "used" look!
    Yeah, Magnums are great. I love my pair!
    Although I'm not sure about the Krylon, I mean...it's not removable, so it'll have a negative impact on the re-sale value of the items (If I ever choose to sell them on). However! We should be going to The Rock airsoft site this summer, which is pretty much a desert with plenty of sand, so we'll make sure to have a good roll around on the ground

      Depend what you do really, if it's subtle should not affect the value in a bad way much at all. It does come off fairly easy, if not totally mind.

          I've heard a lot of good things about Magnum boots, I'm definitely gonna get some as soon as I can.

          Some of us are a little young to have stubble <_<
          That and the missus insists that it be kept "bloody short".

            Panoptes- stubble hmmm? What would the RSM say? What you need is a good tour tache!
            However, back on topic, personally, I would have said don't mix mtp and ddpm. After all the idea is uniform, so you wouldn't have the whole platoon in mixed dress, choose one or the other.

              Currious about why the crack shot has 3 M16 mags on his front and not mags for the 129.

                Cos I actually use the L85 most of the time lol.

                And I /would/ do a full MTP loadout...although the Mk4 Osprey is not legal to own yet. So compromises have to be made.

                  Also, I've seen a lot of troops combining the two. So that was the kind of look I wanted to go for

                      Slavs, that is combination of "accessories" ie osprey etc because there was a delay in getting the matching equipment. The trousers and shirt are still a matching pair.

                        I know, I need to get an MTP UBACS, but I just can't justify the price for what it is at the moment, unfortunately. I'll get one soon enough.

                          Oh I seeeee. You were referring to the different camo UBACS and trousers! Yeah, as I mentioned, Saoul is still in the process of buying an MTP UBACS. The DDPM one is temporary

                              Nice load out gents .Little tip guy at the front get some trousers twists . And find an old car inner tube and cut a strip across then stretch it around the helmet . Go see a scrap dealer for this . Even better speak to someone in the ta if they can get you an old land rover inner tube that's what i used on my mk6 I would even go so far to say a bmx inner tube would do the job. Get a 20x195

                                My trousers have them built in, but I obviously didn't do them up very well :p
                                Thanks for the advice!
