As mentioned, first time cosplayer here. Was inspired by our latest visit to FanExpo in Toronto. Was thinking of what I could come up with that would be comfortable but recognizable, and came up with Duke! A quick google search and I wound up here! I am focusing on the 1984 mail-in action figure for reference. Have a shopping cart full of stuff with a milsurp website (just waiting for cash to PAY for it all). Prop weapons will be the hardest for me, but will cobble together what I can. My goal is to maybe be ready for Toronto ComicCon in March, definatly ready for next FanExpo.Will show pictures as I get the pieces together. Always open to advice! YO JOE

1st update: I know it’s like working on the icing before I bake the cake, but I got the jump wings, and ordered a set of Vietnam era dog tags, using the information on the “file card”. It’s a little thing, but it was inexpensive and a step forward!

Sounds like you’re off to a good start. As a reminder prop weapons are 100% not required for Finest membership, so feel free to put those at the bottom of your shopping list.

Have the pants, just got the shirt (pics on the weekend). Found a website that sells uniform items, found long sleeve shirt with the right pockets. Getting excited!

So, kind of stalled out on this…boots are the most expensive. Have a list of items saved on a surplus site, let’s see what Christmas brings us. Having a hard time with the round belt buckle. Most everything else I am basing on Vietnam era surplus (even looked at Korea-era as well) but all the gun belts have rectangular clip fasteners. Anyone found (or made) the round buckle?
