  11. Who were the unpopular regiments? heheh I shall show a link of the SLR's i have seen, i dont know the company but they seem cheap, altho they are plastic furniture. I have been told by a company that you need an armourers tool to change the furniture, but my friend who served with them says you need a flat blade! www.dwsuk.com any one know this site? or indeed how good or how legit it is? they have 4 SLR's at £500 for old spec...
  12. Does anyone have any blueprint style pictures or measurements? as i think the easiest way is to mock the item up... i can get a US model working for a few hundred, but the UK seems scarce... Anyone have any info or scale drawings/pictures?
  13. Where is this? Im off to Laughton show 9-10th sept. where is the show? or is it this one?
  14. As many of you know, I have a Humber Pig. I am trying to collect as much bits and bobs of Military era related kit. I have Parachute Regiment covered as my father was in 1PARA. But i would also like to cover the other standard issue equipment. DPM? was there just 80...90....95....and soldier 2000? or was there an easlier type? how can i tell what smock and trousers would be 70/80's? Was the helmet known as a turtle helmet? am i correct? When was the Flak jacket introduced and is there various types? Im basically trying to find the standard kit to be taken into the Troubles..... any help?
  15. ok, can i ask a few things? I know that there are diferences in the pre and post 95 models. The 95 on seems to be just a welded up frame with nothing much of use or interest The pre 95 are what im interested in, But i have a few questions. Can a pre 95 be cocked, chamber a round and dry fire? (inert) some poeple say yes some say no... Also can it be fully stipped? Is the Gas regulator removed? and is the flash at the end welded? I would just like to know the main differences as if i spend alot of money i would like a nice example you can play with:) Also how easy is it to change the furniture? as wood is worth alot more than ABS , but again i have seen the wood for sale quite cheap?
  16. Any pictures or Info would be great, and a Broken one for sale woul dbe better! or indeed a working example would be a bonus but i have no idea what price to expect! Cliv, The electrical problems are indeed Undergoing repairs, i have taken the switch board apart and made a repair which is not the best but will keep the Pig mobile for the rest of the season and until i find a replacement. Also I shall be sorting the indicators, but alas with no ignition i cannot procced! Should be all sorted by tuesday i hope.
  17. This is the one i would like to get my hands on, Any one have an idea how much? working or not? If not Does anyone have a scale drawing so i could mock one up? www.geocities.com/urbexuk/starlight
  18. Ok what would be the correct way to paint my pig? I am due to strip the Metal back to bare, i have sourced some good cheap paint stripper, 10 litres... and will bare metal and rub down... What would the correct method be? Do i Red oxide, and then go for the main colour? Or is it a base coat, red oxide, another coat then finish? Also, if indeed my Humber Pig was to be period? do i Spray or Brush? I sense many nights soon with a mask and a scrapper! ahoy! :mrgreen:
  19. Hmmm, now you lost me! haha Im not to sure, its the massive on that they used in Northern ireland..... kinda circa 1970-75 hope you can help!
