Thank you, CMH! They're not badly-priced, either!

It's an HK UMP, no doubt. The magazine's too small to handle the 5.56 mm of an HK33, which even the smaller carbine versions take. The MP5 was a closer guess, but the stock, sight and muzzle give it away. These were the finest weapons I ever trained with (although I only ever used the UMP45 variant), and I'd take one over a full sized assault rifle of just about any type.
...More insane ramblings by the people who brought you beeeer milkshakes!

Tristan, the pack sounds good, and a pic would be great.
If nothing else I want to get a metal box and paint it and add straps. Either way, with whatever I use, I have to figure out a way to cool it.

RIMG, I took several pictures of the pack, uploaded them to my computer, and forgot to put them in photobucket...which means it will be tonight before I get them up here.
As far as cooling, I think you had the right idea with those freezer packs. I am sure we can come up with something using those.

I will look for them when I can, but at this point it will most likely be Sunday before I see them (after fed job today I will not be around until then).
I got ingredients for the Irish Red yesterday, probably going to brew it Sunday or Monday, so it should be ready in early to mid January. Gonna start the first D*C beer trial when the Red gets close to bottling.
If I don't see you around today, have a good Thanksgiving and all. :)

Since I've done a Zoe costume and next year will have a proper vest in real leather (thanks Tristan) I had toyed with the idea of doing a Zoe soldier costume but space and guns through airlines does pose an issue. Mostly the space as the guns can be mailed to a fellow Browncoat who's driving. Hmmmmm, only 282 costuming days to D*C...
I aim to misbehave!

Same to you, RIMG!
And let me know how the first batch is! 
After tonight, it will probably be Sunday before I get back on, too...food and travel will be a big part of the next few days!

FFG!
Feel free to mail the guns, etc. to me. I will be driving there, and should not have any other passengers with me, so I'll have plenty of room.
Zoe soldier, eh? That will be very shiny!
282 costuming days...no problem! (AHH!!)

I am with Tristan on the guns, driving by myself, plenty of room for stuff.
If anyone wants to, and you are buying bulky items on eBay that you cannot fly with, you can have them sent directly to me and I will hold them for you, instead of paying for the postage twice.
FFG, you are going to look damn good in that Zoe outfit. :)

Well, I already have a pair of khaki pants w/ the brown stipe I can use from my Mal costume. I can get the G36 airsoft weapon locally. I have the Independents patch already, as well as sergeant stripes from my days in the service. I would need the red scarf & the jacket.
You making the coats Tristan?
