Huge huge congrats on finding this thing! And I really love that the first one found wasn’t from scrounging some forum.. or some Ebay find.. but a genuine stumbled upon family basement find. The kinda stuff us foundpart nerds dream of :lol: Thank you for sharing the find with us!

Welcome back to the chubby side :lol:

Nice job as always!

Certainly looks like a good contender!

Regarding the aimed length of the cape, which in reality is actually a half poncho intended to be worn across the chest in the rain/weather, I want to further reference another suit that was specifically made by Joe Johnson, and as such shows very similar build traits overall That being PP1...

Unfortunately this is where these get a bit tricky as getting both the correct fabric, in good lightly used condition, and in the correct “khaki green” hue is exceptionally difficult because not all WW2 U.S. tents exhibit it. Ive owned 3 separate pup tent halves myself over the last couple...

Here is a closeup of the Cotton Twill material from my personal 1942 tent photographed under different kinds of lighting. You can see how the dye color likes to shift pretty dramatically depending on the light source type.

Definitely excited. Glad you’re finally hopping back on these puppies. Should be excellent

Just interested in any proof markings on the D-bracket itself really. Im studying these because I suspect these ones possibly came from a subcontractor or possibly from Mk IV leftovers or something similar, and that may be why they have the unique 3 chamfers present on the lugs compared to a lot...

Congrats on the webley. Looks like this one has the correct variant D-bracket with the chamfers on the lug too. By chance could you share its date and serial number? Id be interested in additional photos of the bracket and any stampings on it for adding to my study on these as well if you'd be...

Personally im of the opinion that they are more or less in line with one another. My theory on them is that the flash was possibly taken from a failed or extra Stunt Vader saber, where small set screws were possibly drilled and tapped into the steel mpp shroud and through the tube in order to...

Thought this scene could use some more fitting music after what we learn in the Finale Big thanks to Ord for the help editing it
