Re: idea: The British Rebel Fighter - What would they look like?
probably worth looking at some of the serbian/bosnian militia groups in the balkan wars that were on about 15 years ago.
In the early days you see a lot of units equipped in civvy clothes dyed black, leather jackets, track suits.... occasionally local factories are requisitioned by the rebels and made to make unifomrs, often in odd colours like purple as they used ot make ladies coats and that was the only colour they had etc.
One thing you do see if that no matter how disparate and mismatched the kit they nearly always are able to make embroidered patches or armbands to sew onto stuff.
I've got a US M65 woodland parka that was used in the Kosovan war and thats just had a UCK badge sewn on the sleeve, other guys in the same unit would have worn flecktarn, alpenflage and us woodland mixed together.
Like dieselmonkey says though, unless your'e in a 'hard' rebel area you'd want to look as much like a civilian as possible. But in areas where your faction pretty much have unversal support and dominate the ground it would have been possible to be quite 'overt'
Again going back to the IRA in hardline republican areas they coud pretty much get away with looking quite paramilitary as 99 per cent of the local population would shelter them, hide kit for them etc.

Just want to know why you think it would look like that in 5 years. Maybe you should wipe the sand out of your vagina princess.

Re: idea: The British Rebel Fighter - What would they look like?
One of the more obvious implications of what you posted certainly is certainly racist, if you're not saying that Eastern Europeans are all coming over here and takin r jerbs - a racist caricature of immigration issues, then fair enough but you might want to be clearer about that in future and be aware that such jokes aren't kosher. That subject is a minefield you see.

I do like how simple this look is. Bare essentials for openly carrying a weapon or two. I think the fingerless gloves are a nice touch as well.
EDIT: If there's one thing I like about Far Cry 3, it's how tie-on armbands, bandanas on the head and face are all signifiers of alliegience to Vaas' or Hoyt's men, little splashes of red or yellow depending on faction. Clearly we see some of this already with airsoft arm bands but I think these are elements that could be applied easily to a civvie look much like the rebel fighters of occupied European countries in WW2.

Re: idea: The British Rebel Fighter - What would they look like?
I wasn't saying that eastern europeans are coming over here and taking our jobs, the Sasha picture to says that more, I was pointing a 'tounge in cheek' finger at the ever growing number of a certain religious group of Ali G types that have now made me the Minority in my on Home town and capital city. But haho, I do like their camo.

Re: idea: The British Rebel Fighter - What would they look like?
So where are they going to get all the AKs from? Plus the fact that the majority of the ethnic group you hinted at are a peace loving lot I dont see how your picture has any relevance here.
