So just just about there now folks, i got an MSA liner with broken strap (united carr) i decided to use both of these with the shell, a trip to the cobbler and £4.50 was handed to him for repair, pics show strap broken then fitted, once i source a period sweatband job done. I was not sure how to display it so ive ordered a replica m1 Garand made by Denix to
sit with it. ps, i have no idea what that is growing on the chair
Picked up the Garand, will get some shots with the lid.
looking forward to it steveive often thought of doing the same type of resto to my McCord m1 relic
Regards James
That looks fine as it is bud, if you look at page one it will remind you how i got it, to be fair its not hard and quite pleasing to do.
Nice job done by the cobbler stevechinstrap looks great on the lid,so well worth the £4.50 i reckon,nice display James
Cheers Jake, once i find the sweatband thats it, i will move to my next one, 1943 front seam swivel bale (dimpled) McCord, for this i want to do an airbourne look, net, decal, the works.
Looking very good buddy,it's really taking shape very well.
Cheers bro, enjoyed doing it, learned alot for my next one.
Just realized steve the liner was re-webbed,did you use original webbing or repro?how did you find re-fitting the A washer rivets,some say you need the patience of a saint...........
The MSA? looks original to me, not the best of pictures really.
