Help making it more realistic.

- Hi everyone, I have a question and I was wondering if anyone has a solution. I have an FMA helmet that I want to use without a cover, but the problem is that it's obvious at first sight that it's not a real one (obviously because I use it for airsoft, as well as for recreation/inspiration).

- I was wondering if there's a way to make the helmet look more realistic or like the original. I know the first step would be to paint it a color as close as possible, but I'm wondering if there's a way to give it that rough, raised texture that some OPSCORE helmets have, like the one in the photos.

1990s Bureau of Prisions riot control team

Riot shield in the front, two of the stick guys by the side of the riot shield, and the M79 is a placeholder for a 37mm gas launcher. Regardless he would be behind the team. The stick has steel ball points at each end, meant to break the ribs of anyone coming close. The helmet should also be black, everything else is correct.

1990-1991 Gulf War Plce webbing setup

Finally replaced my pattern 58 webbing with something more accurate! I’ve completely custom setup the webbing by myself by myself(minus the front magazine pouches and shoulder straps) and I’m extremely happy with. I Look at countless archived footage and photos online for reference(finding a full body image of a standard front line British Gulf war soldier was a bitch🙏😭💔), this is also the biggest gear setup I have ever done! Pouches are just filled with just Airsoft stuff as stand ins. Thoughts?

Kit list:

Plce olive green webbing 90

Two SA80 magazine pouches

Respirator pouch

Two water bottle canteen pouches

Beyette pouch

MK6 helmet

DDPm Mk 1 flank vest cover

Mid war basic infantry kit (WIP)

I know a couple things are wrong like the claymore bag, still don’t have boots or bottoms or a ruck. But figured it was worth posting. Basing off 1967ish photos haven’t decided on a specific unit.

US Army 12th AD Truck Driver, March-April 1945

I’ll be going over the list while also noting the inaccuracies

M1 Helmet with shrimp netting, with a plastic liner i do plan to change in the future

M37 service shirt, which is a cotton material, whereas originals variants were made from wool

M41 Field jacket, lacks lining material, but isnt horribly visible combined with the service shirt

OD7 Wool trousers

M43 double buckles, which were extremely common with the unit im portraying and fairly common in 1945

M1 Carbine, with the more rarer in the eto bayonet lug which im looking to get removed (air vintouri for those curious)

Items needed/wanted: Vehicle operators permit, which i did try to order but has yet to arrive

Tanker jacket, which i dont necessarily need, but it would but a nice bit of kit for an armored division impression
