Howdy,

MY RMG british paratrooper figure needs harnesses! I found the basic pose of this 1:16 Dragon figure quite uninteresting, just running forward with a Sten SMG. So I would like to give him a parachute. The guy has just landed and the wind tries to pull the guy off his feet with his parachute still attached.
However, good pictures of parachute harnesses are hard to find. Any pictures would do.
I´m not too picky about the technical part but I want it to look convincing enough!

Please help!

Cheers,

Toni

Mojens Envar!

Ive got a buddy whos grand dad was a Brit Paratrooper, I'll ask him tomorrow if he has any good reference for you

Morjens Anders,

Cool!
Ask him if he could send me a parachute! Air mail, please! #:-)

Cheers,
Toni

Morjens,

He's an Ex paratrooper also, maybe he can deliver it in style

Take a look at this topic https://armorama.kitmaker.net/forums/22000&page=1 where GrayWolf has thrown in some nice pics of the real stuff.

Push button :
