So trying to figure out what USCM costumes to wear when for D*con... and talking to a buddy about the 25th Anniversry GI Joe figures at the same time (he needs a Flint)...

I came up with a Flint idea. I have an OD harness that is currently detatched from the gunbelt I use for my UCSM stuff. I started thinking about making my grenade banolier into an attachment for the harness instead. Which then had me think about a different jacket/shirt. Epaulettes, my USCM drop wings, on a rolled up military style shirt, maybe a beret. Downside is Flint generally has a Black shirt. I was thinking more like a tan one instead.

More info as my brainstorming continues...

USCM- The Colonial Marines- A Brotherhood of Bad Asses!

Well yeah, but I would have USCM patches too... so it would be a variant.

So is your thread about more EU USCM costumes?

I have something brewing (besides the Service C tan shirt uniform- that will be a snap)...

Anyway- I bought the boxset of those other Space Marines- Space: Above and Beyond. I'm about halfway through the episodes.

So it's gotten me interested in putting together a Marine Space Aviator costume- flightsuit, bunch of patches, flighthelmet.

Of course we have dropships- but to me they are like the Hueys and Cobra gunships of the Vietnam era- they aren't "fast movers". You'd think the USCM would have some kind of attack craft like the Hammerheads (basically like today's F/A-18 ).

So failing finding a Mk14 suit in my size, I'd just get a typical USAF OD flightsuit. Question is what patches to throw on it. And for the helmet- I was considering tracking down one of those S:AAB helmets.

Anyway- something I've had in mind last few nights.

I told you I'd shoot, but you didn't believe me! WHY DIDN'T YOU BELIEVE ME!?!

Sounds cool. While they do say there are combat assaultships, fighters are a really cool concept.

Yeah going for a EU USCM based on Flint. It shouldn't be too hard, just acquiring more patches and of course sewing them on.

Unoriginal response I know but iconic nonetheless.

Hmmm, come to think of it I still have my Duke shirt... just replace my airborne wings with my Drop wings and change some patches around...

Yes Chris, I know my Duke shirt was supposed to be Tan but would go a weird green in certain colors...
