even though its nowhere near as creative or cool as alot of costumes on this site, i replicated Martin Sheen's outfit from Apocalypse now exactly (almost,i had to replace his name with mine for airsofting purposes and the badge above the name tag should be totally subdued), the outfit was actually quite hard because theres alot of patches and the tiger stripe outfit is the rare "advisor" pattern with the left arm pocket, also note the helmet looks like his during the Do Lung bridge scene, when the black scarf he wears often throughout the film is wrapped around his helmet.







 
Nice! I was gonna replicate the costume from the beginning where he's drunk and naked. It should be ready in about 30 minutes. :lol
 
Excellent. I recently finished "Joker" from Full Metal Jacket... me on the left.
It's the only picture I have of that version of my Vietnam gear. Every detail is exact, down to seven real 20-round Colt mags in the bandolier.

The reason I chimed in though, is because Colonel Kilgore is on my list of outfits to make as well. Money permitting, I'll try to break it out at DragonCon next month.
