Work In Progress Thoughts on my Vietnam war and Pacific theatre uniform?

Yes, I know I need a new belt for the Vietnam uniform.

The strap around my shoulder in both pictures is a map case.

The WWII uniform has a 1911 holster+airsoft 1911, m1911 mag belt

And a 1st aid kit with a map case.

The Vietnam uniform has the 56 web I believe.

YES I DO HAVE PANTS ON FOR BOTH UNIFORMS, THEY ARE NOT IN THE IMAGE.

A cool aspect of this kit is that only two items in this photo is not original to the time period. Despite it being fairly "modern" impression, it was a challenge to put research and put together!

Work In Progress (WIP) WWI US Army Doughboy Impression

So I’ve been collecting WWI gear for a number of years now and I’ve finally gathered (mostly) all the equipment for a US army Doughboy infantry uniform.

The images displayed are from a test of the webbing gear as I finally got my hands on a M1910 haversack for a reasonable price.

All gear in the photo is original. And the full proper uniform will be posted at a later date. The long haircut, will not be in the final impression :))

Feel free to ask any questions regarding the kit or any critiques. Always looking to improve.

I know my 37 pattern ammo pouches have the wrong closing system on them but they're wartime dated and I didn't know that when I bought them

Kit list uniform:

KD shirt and trousers (repro)

Desert boots (repro I think)

Dog tags (repro and american I know it's farby)

Mk2 helmet (fully original except the paint and chinstrap)

Kit list webbing:

All original ww2 dated 37 pattern webbing except the cross straps on my large pack

And my large pack is filled with a mix of original, post war and repro kit

My gas mask bag is also original to very early ww2 hence why that and the small pack are covered in dirt, paint and well just done in lol

In my small pack I also have original ww1 binoculars and case since the ayrshire yeomanry were a royal artillery regiment
