Tommy, Glad I could help. Won't Amazon ship to Germany?
After seeing this video feel good about the ax handle details, all except the length. Mine is shy of the screen accurate 28 inches but everything else is good plus mine isn't defaced by a trademark stamp.

only the stars and the eagle is still missing=)
Tommy that is a great looking club!
And again sorry to all.... since photobucket has run out of bandwidth until the next four days. :facepalm
thank you=)
and as for photobucket, i was panicking at first, since your photos and your instructions helped me a great deal and i would have never been able to even start with a costume like this, but was happy to find that when you click on the space where the picture used to be, you are bein redirected to the photo in question.
next thing i am going to work on is going to be the pouch and the hood.
Thanks Tommy, that's good to know about photobucket. Learn something new everyday.
The leg drop pouch should be easy since I got mine from the UK and the leather pouches are German in the first place. :lol
Please make sure your American flags are sewn on blue field forward. I saw one colonel that used the same patch for each shoulder so one side was backwards. :facepalm
i sure will do...has a hard time getting two flags with the same design. the local army store only had flag patches for the right arm which was a slightly different design from the one i bought on ebay. slightly bigger and different colors.
as for the other colonel...maybe he was planing on spinning to the right side...then it would be ok i guess and the flags would always face forward
i still have a question about the hood though...going to sew it this week i hope and i also hope i will receive the jacket soon too. could you tell me how (and where exactly) you applied the hood to the jacket?
i still haven't seen the movie. they are only showing the dubbed version over here which is horrible.
Just a heads up for some of the parts that we supplied for Kick Ass 2
Worked on making the leg pouch more accurate. The universal mount is larger than the MP 3 mag pouch so I removed 4 inches from the back.
That required moving some of the straps on the back.

Here's what it looks like 90% finished. Need to move the match holder down and make the retaining cuffs for the vertical leg straps. The magazines are cut from black closed cell foam.
