My homemde German sniper veil

I made a WW2 German sniper veil out of burlap and another green canvas type matirial, total cost $4.81. I know the real ones were not made of burlap, but it does give the look of a real one. Visibility is rather good even though that the threads in front of the eyes are so close together.

pretty cool..nice job...

 

It looks pretty realistic. Well done. I doubt many originals survived, so I understand you made this one yourself

 

I couldn't find any online for a reasonable price so I decided to make my own. The only downside is that teh burlap frays so some of the loose threads that hang on the bottom stick together.

 

Hey good made Panzer! I like this stuff.

 

Thank you very much, it wasn't very difficult to make and it only took a couple of days.

 

Well done Panzer, I sometimes make items I want too, either because it costs too much or else i just can't source it.

 

Thats really creative, top job

 

and of course you are sending this to me for Christmas.

 

Sure, but it would be for a price. Just today I finished another project. I am in a German reenacting group and we have a tactical battle coming up in Febuary, I didn't have a white smock so I made my own out of a bed sheet. It turned out rather crude but it still serves the purpose. The smock I made looks like what the second guy from the right is wearing.

 

Good, fits to the time. Add some stripes of white cloth around the rifle and it´ll work good. How about some pics of that?

 

Alright, I will take some pictures and get back with you.

 

Well here it is, pretty crude pictures. When I have it on in the field I'll be sure to take some pictures. The last picture is a helmet cover I made out of scrap pieces.
