Somebody has put a Lionsgate Film type twig into the camo net. Plus the holes in the camo net are a definite give away that it's Lionsgate. Columbia's prop department distressed their nets with holes in equilateral shapes as opposed to the rounder of Lionsgate. To say nothing about the font on the box of posters. Columbia used Bondini MT and not in all caps. The label shown is clearly Britannic Bold. Not for my collection. Elementary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmar836 Posted November 7, 2020 Share #33 Posted November 7, 2020 Yes. Very interesting. Nice to hear where reproducrtion things came from and not just hearsay. I have always wanted to see the movie but all the negativity about it's accuracy has kept me from it. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burning Hazard Posted November 7, 2020 Share #35 Posted November 7, 2020 Neat prop, it's crazy how much detail has gone into making it look as close to WWII configuration as possible. The shrimp net reminds me of this WWII variant that I have. Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kammo-man Posted November 7, 2020 Author Share #37 Posted November 7, 2020 The round is modern made to exact specs as a war time item in materials and weight and markings.When I said Hero round that means in movie talk a exact replica that’s for close ups and screen used and very expensive to manufacture.There were perhaps 10 made.Of course there was cheaper rounds made to fill the stowage racks but what’s more fun as a souvenir!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PatPatThanks.I got to say getting the heavy net was a pain.Obviously in 45 there are loads of pictures of them being worn.More I think that the ‘Normandy’ size nets.There were none to be found so a larger general purpose net from Belgium was bought and then cut up to make a few dozen helmet covers.They were then applied Hollywood style to the shell and liner banged in.Here’s the fit and interior.And hey presto!!!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
