Here's my Ardennes offensive Fallschirmjager impression: ![](http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b119/jimmiroquai/fjjim.jpg) Kit list: M38 helmet - paintjob by labrador, chicken wire by me 3rd type Jump smock in marsh44 pattern Leather gloves (P50 from Winter House in Cartimar ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) ) EM leather belt (need to change heer buckle to luftwaffe) Heer Y-straps (FJ did use the Heer Y-straps as well) Leather "jump boots" (Modern ro-search leather combat boots from sir snakeskin) WE P08 luger with hard shell holster MP44 magazine pouch Original breadbag swiss canteen AGM MP44 Here's shot of the M38 helmet. ![](http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b119/jimmiroquai/fjjim2.jpg) Got it from ACG topgear Paint job by albert - i weathered it a little more and darkened everything a little with a very light coat of salak brown spray-on woodstain. I made the chicken wire myself with a spool of wire i had lying around. Took me about 2 hours to make that small piece. If anyone attempts this i strongly suggest wearing eye protection!

Thanks guys. Albert did most of the paint and texture work on the helmet. I just did the chicken wire basket...at the cost of a few thousand skin cells.

I really like the wire-covered helmet, there's something so mad max, gothic and teutonic about it. I'll try to look for extra wire mesh of that type from a friend.
