Military helmet and accessories help! (airsoft maybe?)

Postby mcfonz » Thu Mar 13, 2014 4:39 pm

Right, I am thinking of getting a couple of cheapish props for my salute game, I just about have time to get some.

So far I have simply typed in a couple of ebay searches.

I'm a bit lost as have never really looked into this sort of thing before. My aim is to get a helmet, a cover for it and then jazz it up a little to look like a resistance fighter issued one with some pin badges added to the cover and maybe some goggles etc.

At the moment I am watching an M72 Bulgarian army issue helmet at just under £10 including postage and an M88 Swat helmet, again at just under £10 inc postage.

I guess my question is how easy is it to get accessories for these types? Anyone recommend an online shop that could be as cheap but guarantee a bit more reliability perhaps?

Why not go into a local army surplus shop and see what they have?

The M88 is probably your best bet, as there are loads of covers available for it in weird camo patterns.

I'm assuming you want it sci-fi themed? there's a digi camo cover on at the moment, that looks pretty scifi:
