I’ll rewind before I blew 13000 and re-do this all in a cheaper way. If you can find a cheaper way please do. For people getting into the hobby a cheaper option is always better.
- The Gun. MP40, the submachine gun sells for 3500 in divisoria. If you can get a Bolt-action Airsoft rifle for Php2,000 you transfer the body and make it look like a Kar98.
- The BDU. German Uniform 1400, top only. as long as you have pants of the same color and fabric, you will save a lot by just getting the top. I bet you can have a regular mananahi/tailor make the same kind, for 1200 for top and bottom, provided the fabric!. The “tunic” is very large can covers much of the pants area where only the legs are visible. The cap can be DIYed. Tip, don’t make it loose fiting, make it fit well and look good. These are mostly photo opts anyway.
- Tags, DIY because in the end, in the Photos its harder to tell the stitched version from the DIY, painted or printed out version. Save 300
- Collar and Shoulder Tabs. DIY them. they are mostly plain black boards undecorated except for a “lightning” styled font of SS. You can just pain that on, print, cut and paste it on etc. Save 600
- Gaiters. Don’t need the Gaiters, they cost 550, your better off getting a new pair of black boots for 600-650. So if you already have a nice pair of black boots, just don’t get them anymore.
- All Canvas Goods, the Load Bearing Straps, The pouches etc. Take the time to learn to make it yourself, that way you can repair them when they break. OR borrow a set and bring them over to Quiapo or your tailor to be replicated. Save 3000 (thats practically a new gun).
Total less than 6-7k
never do it in a hurry. In such an exercise, weigh options carefully.
