For the roster: Nico. Adelaide Hills (area, not an actual town), SA, Australia.
Depending on the availability of helmets, I might end up going with a red headband, somewhat like the one Zoe's wearing. Or I could just tie my scarf around my head.
Thx for the suggestions on the grenades. I figure I'll go with the Red Bull cans mocked up like stunners/flashbangs and standard size cans done as either smoke 'nades or frags. The cans will be unopened, so that I (or anyone running low on sugar/caffiene) can make use of them. At least, that's the plan, but we all know what happens is rarely the same as what was planned.
Also, I'll be carrying an assortment of wires, wire-cutters, batteries (useful in case anyone's camera goes flat), and a random collection of detonators (or stuff made to look like them).

(Thx to Desktop Hippie for the banner)
If you find yourself getting too worked up about stuff that isn't real (RP Threads etc), then go outside, breathe in some fresh air and try feeding the ducks. (Because ducks don't care about your politics, religion, skin colour, choice of music or even your haircut. They like everyone, provided you bring them food.)

I like the look of it, Tristan, I like it better without the cross hatching. I agree that you might need to go darker though, thought that's not a bad color. Can't wait to see what you come up with.

Morning, all!
Boomer...alright, how about a patch, then? 
Something to indicate you are with us! 
Nico, if it's a matter of not having a helmet shipped to you due to costs, I should have one or two extras if'n you want to borrow one.
I am looking forward to seeing the demolitions outfit!
BWTP, thank you. I am thinking I'll go with a darker red cotton duck...that'll be a bit tougher than the poly/cotton I had laying around. And I'm glad you like the three lines. All told, that vest took me about three hours to do, so they are not that bad.
Would you mind putting one of those two pictures in place of the one currently on the 76th's Uniform page if you have time? I would appreciate that. 
Sister, thank you!

Can I just say how amazed I am at how fast the 76th is coming together? Tristan, didn't you JUST start thread #1?
Oh, and I'm not sure what I'd put a patch on! I live in T's and jeans, fer cripes sake!
BWTP - In talking with hubby, we rather like "Renegade Military Supplier" a bit more than the Privateer title. Could you please change it? Thank you very much!

Nico, I added your info. And as you are the first one to give it to me (out of the enlisted at least) I went ahead and gave you the rank of Private First Class. Grats.
Tristan, photo updated, sir! 
Boomer, it's been updated. Truth be told, I like the sound of that one more too.

Hey, would yall prefer someone as a LMG gunner, close support sharpshooter or just another g36 toter? My SL-8 could appear to fill the role of wither a LMG if i got a C-mag or a sniper rifle if i went with a low profile mag and a scope.
low rez image of the gun with a C-mag
and with a low profile mag but no scope
(i already own this as an airsoft, and most of the costume, so any imput would be good)

Boomer...we may just have to get you a hat or helmet, then. You are being difficult, you know that?
And I am pleasantly surprised how quickly this is coming together! I am very glad so many other people are interested in this!
BWTP, thank you for the updates! The site is looking good!
I need a third vote for ArtCat as Lieutenant so we can go ahead and list her as such.
Nico, welcome, PFC!
LostThought, I like the idea of a machine-gunner. That gun looks good! I think we have a sniper or two in the works...having a soldier with a SAW would round it out quite nicely!
What do you have uniform-wise?
Oh, and welcome to the 76th! Don't forget to post in the Roll Call thread (if you haven't already).
I haven't seen BrownCoat1 in here lately...anyone know where he got off to?
