anyone have access to, or own, some old army gear they could lend/rent out for a shoot? I have access to a spitfire and a WW2 jeep, for a shoot later in the year, but before that one I want to put together a small set, in the bush, with a few props.

the kind of things I am looking for are;

camo netting
camo scarf/mesh
old small backpack (military issue type, not commercial)
belts with knife pouches (not ammo belt backs)
replica or decommisioned firearms
ammo cases (old school style, wood, or metal)

picture a bit of bond girl meets lara croft scene...

I know I can purchase some of this stuff, but its adding up, and wondered if anyone in here has any of this sort of stuff in there garage. Melbourne I can pick up if any luck

How many members have rung the terrorist hotline?

Have you tried the nearest military museum? Perhaps an army reserve museum...they have tons of this stuff gathering dust. Check yellow pages 'army museums' and chat up the idle staff.

erm...if you get deported can I have your lights?

be alert...

thanks MattK, will try museums. got some cheap stuff today at aussie disposals.

just need pistols and holsters now. might also try toy shops...

um, and Wayne, if I get deported, I'll be taking my light with me, but might have a fire sale

I am led to believe that behind the Richmond Hotel is a good spot for that kind of thing. I think i read that in 'The Age.'

think it was at the tram stop...
