I would darken the shells also, but $12 FOR THOSE AWESOME BOOTS. That my friend, is what you call a good buy. amen, i mean i got my big trenchcoat earlier in the thread for only $25. chances are the most expensive thing to buy is a 50 dollar hat..

You've given me a ton of ideas for how to make a bolter, so I wanted to return a favor. Near the bottom of the page below is a Russian Army of Liberation hat. It's more expensive than the ones you posted links to earlier, but the felt is closer to black and there are no logos on the hat. www.tridentmilitary.com/German-WW2/german-ww2-headgear.html

thats a big compliment this being your first post, scout, thanks very much! dunno if i will get that one, since i value the other hats for the red lining around the edges of the seams (red being good for commissars) but i will definitely look into it and see if i can find other shots of the hat to see which is best.
update in terms of costuming, ive found a good gauge pipe that i plan to cut up and put inside a second mag i will be making, instead of using the shiny small bullets, i will have a mag that has much more realistic sized shells.
also i acquired a current naval pin badge that has an anchor design inside a circle, with wings sprouting from it. a properly sized skull glued over the anchor and i now have a second cap badge that i may or may not use.

quick update, i have made a second mag, this time with bigger shells, two or three times bigger than is in the first mag, so it looks far more realistic in comparison between the ejection port, the barrel and the bullets. pictures coming soon.

and here they are do the new shells in the mag look like an improvement? i still have the old mag as well. though i find myself wanting to paint the base of the mag silver, just like i done with the grip of the pistol.. good idea? i also made a second cap badge and/or rank pin on the uniform. the detail is lacking, i repainted it since this shot, now the eyes are much darker and more defined. and yes my cat was sleeping on the hat, hence the white fluff...

Awesome. The big shells are an improvement, and it would look cool if you painted the bottom of the mag silver. Once again, awesome.

yes definately improved, when you've finished post a pic of the whole outfit, preferably with someone wearing it see if it really makes you look like a commissar.

well since you guys asked so nice. its a new nerf recon pistol, with all the attachments removed and painted. makes a good psudo bolt pistol as a side arm for when i go to comic con and shoot starwars stormtroopers with sucker darts. its not done yet, needs the grip and various other details worked upon, but you guys wanted to see some more so here it is. in regards to the hat and uniform pieces, pics of those will take awhile, its gonna be a slow process making and/or buying and modifying stuff for the outfit. dit: and of course the mag needs painting, but i plan to make a bigger mag that will hold 12 darts rather than 6, so i'm waiting till i get the extra mags i ordered.

theres a US company called NERF who make foam dart blaster guns in neon colors. they have a bunch of designs, one looks like the 40k GW stubgun revolvers. the above picture is of the gun i have began to paint up. the barrel, stock and various other pieces all come off as accessories.

i think i need a better varnish, this stuff isnt hard enougth, it scrapes. glad you like my avvie, i made it myself. shame its shrank alittle.
its not too much effort, not compared to the other gun at least. its alot of fun to paint, nerf guns, giving me good tank painting practice.
glad you guys like whats done so far. i'm really killing time untill i can find a good piece of uniform to work from.

Killing time with your new array of weaponry? well the cat fears the nerf pistol thats for sure. not that i've actually hit the fury blighter with it. i might try to get a civil war pattern and make my uniform from that.

Very nice nerf pistola! ...is that a rubber in your avatar? hahaha! XD yeah, a few imp guard fans i know and i were joking in a car trip, started on the convo of the imperium, then moved to sex, then back to the imperium, considering what type of things a guardman would have as standard issue that wasn't listed in the uplifting primer, they joked about a hypo with some anti STD shot. while i came up with the condom idea, figuring the almighty 'the emperor protects' was an apt slogan.

the coat needs all the trimmings ive mentiond before, epaulettes, cuffs, purity seals, medals ect. im just doing this shot to show the hat + the coat the asian kungfu tunic is a good representation of the initial cut of the inner uniform, especially the collar, just a darker, less faded black with tons of gaudy gold braiding and buttons. shaved off the stitching of the Russian eagle, gonan cover it with an aquilla soon. also i plan to perhaps dye the hat and coat a decent black, the stitching is a pain, as im sure it would look better if i removed the pieces from the back also, but the hat has some padded liner that seems nigh impossible to remove without cutting it open to get at the hat inside. shots with and without one of my pin badges on the hat
