I know that m17 chinstrap were made out of canvas webbing type of material with a slanted line twill or whatever the name of that is but I cant find it anywhere and only places I knew that made these stopped making em or they aren't responding
What is the best place to get best Isonzo Braun paint, i know that ral8008 is thr closest match but it seems too dark to me(I'm a bitt colorblind but for red blue and green lol) Armyzdar does not send to most of thr countries. And what type of modern paint can be best replacement because no one makes boiled lineseed oil enemal anymore....
I don't want to use real paints like acrylic and stuff like that and I don't want to use salt, vinager and peroxide to make rust because the metal is primed with Matt 2k primer and very britle so i dont want it to actually rust .... I heard that I can use clear matter acrylic and rust dust and aply it with a sponge and clean it with a rag. How to make it multy shaded like I want it to have more old looking rust some bright rust too and i want tit to look completely natural and how to make it look dirty besides using real mud that i will put on but i need old built up mud too. Base paint is RAL8008 acrylic matte spray paint.

Yeah i know i should wear it but I can't, the condition was terrible and it needed a lot of work fixing piting and holes, i even used primer even if i know thry didn't use it during ww1
The primer is matte black so if I scratch the surfice paint it will kinda look like oxidised metal. How do I make a realistic rust and grime paint or effect? I heated that i can use boiled lineseed oil and rust dust or even better clear acrylic and rust dust coat that will give it a more natural rust hue the using paint idk how to make it grimy tho
To begin, the character that may seem a bit racial on the jacket is an artist known as "Lil Darkie" whose using a character based on a god with pitch black skin (i think a muslim god named Kali Ma but I'm not sure). Just wanted to clear that first. The rest are bands I love and mean a lot to me. This was made in high-school with paint and markers so no patches unfortunately. Feel free to give tips or suggestions and have an amazing day :)
I'm going to use rust cornverter this 2k primer and piliester body filler. But im not sure in what order should I do it. Some places say i should use rust cornverter first then body filler and then 2k primer(and of course finishing paint over everything) and some places say. I should use cornverter then 2k primer and then body filler.... I found a source where thry said I should use 1k primer and not 2k but idk i dont want all to peal off at the end. Any help would be great.
I wanted to order a good reproduction of chinstrap for my m17 Austrian stahlhelm but helmets@seznam.cz has stopped making repros because of hes illness and I hope that he will get well soon, and militaryreplikycz doesn't respond to my English emails( not sure if he is just busy).
So I'm making a thing from scratch i have a lot of 20 mm herringbone twill canvas, metal loops, thin brownish leather, 20 mm roller buckle and a 1910s sewing machine.
Just need the messurments lol
Found this photo online near me for like 8 euros idk if i should get it
It was used by my old man during Yugoslav wars so it definitely has seen some combat lol. It has 9 holes, some were custom made after the war. I have seen some belts having 5 some 7 holes so idk i think it can pass. That extra leather loop isn't original to the belt and i can easely replace it.
Can i use the chinstrap from the first photo on Ww1 Austro-Hungarian m17 Stahlhelm?
Most of the chinstraps i have seen were those from the second photo and the only place that I have seen making a good reproductions is closing because the guy who makes them is sadly ill. Nestof also makes that clasic replica chinstrap but idk i dont like it as much. if someone knows where I can get a replica chinstrap, liner, ventilation lugs and splitpins for size 66 m17 Austrian Stahlhelm that would be lovely
Site 64 shell
I know it doesnt look the same but they probably had a different types of erzats chinstrap during the war. Its 3cm in thicknes originals go from 1.5 to 3cm and i have the right buckle too
Boath my great grandfather were fighting during Ww1 boath were ethnic Serbs one was fighting for Serbian army in VII puk Kralja Petra I and second probably serve in Austro Hungarian army but my father does not know. So l asked Ai and they sad that people with my last name(Baroš) served in that perticular regiment. My last nameis pretty rare around 4000 people have it today and Ai specificly saiid that people from Glamoč (where my ancestors were) served there. So yeah i would be happy to know more about that regiment.
