| This is my version of a 1928 Haversack. This is actually the second version I've made. One day I managed to aquire a real 1:1 scale haversack, and from looking at that I decided to make some changes to my original. It has fully functioning straps, as well as gromets to hook in the bayonet and shovel. |
| Here is a working canteen cup, canteen, and holder I've put together. The cup is made from aluminum, and has a functioning handle. The canteen is a Dragon product that I modified with a working top and keeper chain. The pouch is a modified cotswold version which I added working groment "snaps" and better rear attachment hooks. |
| This is a heavily modified Hasbro M9 A1 rocket launcher. I first shortened both sections of the tube, and then reversed the firing handle, added a trigger. Then I gave it an aluminum sholder stock and a trigger guard. Finally, a repaint and I added the sling. I also added clips to the side so that the two sections can be attached together in the carrying position. |
| Surveyors transit made from wood dowels, styrene plastic, and a little bit of brass. I pretty much copied the design from the look of a vintage Hasbro transit. To be different, I added the weight and chain (between the legs) which would allow the user to level the tripod. The flags are used with the transit and are made from wood and cloth. |
| Here's a tree saw I made for a special scene. It's a bit of bent steel tubing with a section cut from a real bandsaw blade. The sledgehammer is a piece of sculpted Ren-Shape foam attached to a wood dowel. |
| Here's two pretty simple items, a wood box put together with popiscle sticks and then stained darker, and next to that some WWII style sandbags sewed together and filled with fish gravel. |
| This is an Army style bunk bed made from wood that has wool blankets and foam padding for a matteress. |
| This brickwall is composed of sheetrock that was cut into bricks, painted and assembled using real cement. |

| This is my custom SCR-610/BC-659 radio set that I was selling over on "Shop @ Bean". That version was cast out of urethane, however the original was made from sheet styrene. The knobs and switches were also scuplted out of styrene. The one mounted in my jeep, actually has a small keychain recording device installed inside that plays a message when you push a button on the radio. |

| This is small camp chair made from 1/8th" hardwood and OD canvas cloth. The joints are reinforced with pins and it folds like the real thing. |

| Here's a chair and desk I made a long time ago, but forgot about for a while. The reason I forgot was because they've been in pieces in a bag since my old roomate accidentally smashed 'em with a basketball (Ouch!) They're made from balsa and hard wood, and the table legs have grooves cut in them that I made using my drillpress as a lathe. |

| Here's a simple project, cloth M1 ammo bandoleers which can hold 6 cartridges just like the real thing. |
