Beach head will be cool but it will be awfully hot under the balaclava

Well last year I wore black head to toe with a facemask of the same material, but also with additional mesh material covering the eyes with the visor.  With Beach Head there will be more ventilation than the other mask as well as more skin will be exposed (example sleeves rolled up, no cloth gloves) allowing much more airflow :)

The people have spoken.

Beach Head it is!

Here's a test shot, on the right track?



I was thinking about using the new marine MARPAT for the pants and trying to source out a green shirt to wear instead of the black, but as it is I like the direction it's going.

Also I have a NERF Longshot that's painted up black and OD Green and it has a video camera mount, will make for some interesting/fun video :P

You should go with a Green shrit to have Green Sleeves.

Go for more realism!!! Do the green! :-)

That's my only suggestion. Looks great.

The problem is that it'll cost me a chunk of coin for something to only wear once and I've already searched our huge Value Village in town for something to use... nadda.

Regardless I think the outfit is looking great... I wanna use the MARPAT for it though :P

Thanks guys, keep the comments and suggestions coming :)

Well, if you're going for the Beachhead look - then I still stand with my suggestion of Green sleeves.

It's like dressing as Flint and weaing blue pants. We know what you're going for, but the pants don't do it justice.

What about a darker/paler green similar to the mask?

Ideally the green shirt should match the mask.

You really don't see yourself wearing a green shirt ever again?

I've just gotta watch the sheckles, but I will keep an eye out for one.

Oh, here's the latest fixer-upping I've done with my NERF Longshot.  And yes it still fires the foam darts :P

I have to go with the others with the green shirt, it totally adds another level.  Dont break the bank on it though, just goto winners or a thrift store
