army props for Melb hire?

Postby Oz_Beachside on Sun Aug 12, 2007 10:37 am

anyone have access to, or own, some old army gear they could lend/rent out for a shoot? I have access to a spitfire and a WW2 jeep, for a shoot later in the year, but before that one I want to put together a small set, in the bush, with a few props.

the kind of things I am looking for are;
    camo netting
    camo scarf/mesh
    old small backpack (military issue type, not commercial)
    belts with knife pouches (not ammo belt backs)
    replica or decommisioned firearms
    ammo cases (old school style, wood, or metal)


picture a bit of bond girl meets lara croft scene...

I know I can purchase some of this stuff, but its adding up, and wondered if anyone in here has any of this sort of stuff in there garage. Melbourne I can pick up if any luck :D

How many members have rung the terrorist hotline? :D :D :D :D

Have you tried the nearest military museum? Perhaps an army reserve museum...they have tons of this stuff gathering dust. Check yellow pages 'army museums' and chat up the idle staff. :D

I am led to believe that behind the Richmond Hotel is a good spot for that kind of thing. I think i read that in 'The Age.'
