A 1-1 scale gm to provide your squad firing support.


foxydash

Would an MS be providing support on the platoon level? That’s a lot of metal for 10 dudes


CptHA86

Maybe if it's in the area and not given any other tasking.


jayerp

Assuming the EFSF infantry units are anything like the US Army units then 10 dudes is more likely to be single squad, not a platoon.


foxydash

That’s what I was saying. I was saying a Mobile Suit is a lot of metal to just be supporting a squad, and that it’s probably be supporting on the platoon or company level instead.


jayerp

I would say battalion and up. They have tanks, helos, and other support vehicles they can use for smaller units. I just don’t see a GM being attached to a company. Mobile suits more commonly were regularly attached to the Navy if anything from what I remember in the shows.


foxydash

Fair, I was thinking on the small scale but could definitely see a team of Mobile Suits only being tasked on the Battalion level and up. Sorry if I’m being a goof


jayerp

GM? No, an RX78-GP03S Dendrobium mobile armor 1:1 scale.


porcupinedeath

I would try to find a patch for the federation flag/logo and put it on your arm along with a rank insignia


Bob_Ross_is_Boss86

I’d watch the show for details on where to place insignias of any kind


Bluejay0

8th MS would be a great resource


Duelgundam

That's a good call https://preview.redd.it/shnggvkqnb4d1.jpeg?width=500&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=523645b831399aefd19038b16a13bd5f96ad90d2


Yourtypicalnuisance

Is it just me who noticed this inconsistency, but EFF literally uses both M1 Helmet style pattern and late 20th-21st(80s to present) Pattern helmets??


MistaKrabcakes

While it’s most likely just an art style thing, it could have an in-lore explanation like supply chain problems. With the sheer number of EFGF forces involved during the OYW, the EFF might not be able to supply all of them with more modern helmet patterns, hence the older M1 helmets.


RaisedInAppalachia

the speed of technological development during the OYW is immense too, so it's entirely possible that new models of equipment start getting issued before the old ones are even fully rolled out.


Bob_Ross_is_Boss86

During the early 2000’s you’d occasionally see the US use two different helmet styles due to the roll out timelines and unit prioritization for the new one. You’ll see that with any piece of equipment in militaries of sufficient size. I can’t say why the show is inconsistent, but that’s a real world reason for why it could be


Bob_Ross_is_Boss86

Agreed. Potentially Stardust Memory as well


Rathgood

* Binoculars with An image of a Zaku and tanks you see through the lenses. * flare gun (prop) for signaling * walkie talkie * mess kit full of convention snacks. * water canteen (fitting and functional. gotta stay hydrated)


DeeMan2003

Looks like they may already have a canteen, but the question of it being functional remains


Wombat1892

They have 2 canteens, and seeing as a lot of that just looks like surplus, they should be good to go for function. For the love of God, I hope that bought canteen holders and new/unissued canteens. I've heard some things that would scare me off of used canteens.


DeeMan2003

I didn't even see the second lmao, and yeah I wouldn't want to know what kinds of stuff ends up in used ones.


TurtleTreehouse

Skittles are a must, maybe a pack of Twizzlers and of course some crayons to munch on


bluedestinyunit1

Carry around a Federation flag.


Chicken_Offensive

Planning on getting one along with more Federation insignia and patches, also have to figure out a way to carry it on my webgear.


wrufus680

Zeke insignias as 'kill counts'


Evening-Investigator

That might work on the weapon but I've never seen a soldier put those on their actual uniform


Duelgundam

Some do, but it's such a complicated design, most would just add scratch marks instead.


FilthySkryreRat

Some Zeek dogtags and a signed photo of a ground Gundam and its pilot stuffed in the helmet strap.


TurtleTreehouse

Maybe throw some sand at it so you look like you've been in the trenches hunting Zakus and just saw your boys die in front of your eyes Other than that it looks pretty good, maybe stuff some mags in those pouches for good luck, not that you'll be shooting anything with your rifle. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nf\_6HmOE9oU](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nf_6HmOE9oU)


_Hickory

This, it's too fresh and clean. Put it through the wash a couple of times with fabric softener and even take some sand paper to the edges you see wear in your normal clothes. Use some other techniques to give sweat stains or other signs that you're not just wearing a costume


Bob_Ross_is_Boss86

Iron and/or press your uniform, and add some magazines to your bandolier Edit: scrolling through the comments, I see a lot of people saying it’s too clean and to throw dirt on it. If you want to distress it, I recommend wearing it to do so i.e. kneel, crawl through dirt or vegetation, sit on your helmet in the same environment. If you’re going for the “fresh from the fight” look, you may consider looking at what various muzzle breaks look like after heavy use (specifically carbon) and depending on whether you’re right or left handed, and which side the ejection port it on (I’m not familiar with any bullpups), you might put sparse, very small black spots on your face, neck, or your chest to replicate lubricant and carbon coming from the weapon as is common in overly lubricated machine guns (which that bullpup technically isn’t, but who says you weren’t on one at some point). Just don’t over do it. Think less is more with all this stuff. Tape up loose straps too, and find anything that makes sound while you’re walking around, then find a way to stop it from making sound You might think about lowering the bandolier as well, unless that’s screen accurate


deskins30

A stack of technical documents and after action reports and a black box to put them in.


MasterBeku

A walkie talkie


Endeavourwrites

Ahaha the M56 webbing... Still in use after many many many years later


[deleted]

That's sick.


McLovett325

Some black electrical tape on the canvas pouches and canteen cut out into Federation abbreviations E.F.F. And most importantly a small picture of the Gundam Sweetheart of your choice in the helmet!  Yo but not gonna lie it looks really cool as is! 


Skater_fr3ak

Throw it in the dirt looks to clean. You haven't been to the front lines yet.


DarkAizawa

I'm sorry but all I saw because of you erasing your face https://preview.redd.it/s9pu04ggb84d1.png?width=360&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7b48a143213b6c1efdf83d7ceb27c4a0362a635f

Revenger1984

Interesting that you modded the rifle to look more like the Feddie rifle


Chicken_Offensive

Yeah it's an L85 that I added M4 iron sights to.


Big_Fo_Fo

Revenger1984

Welcome to Forgotten Weapons


Revenger1984

I've always found the "future" weapons used by people in Gundam series appeared to be designed by people who have never held a gun before or don't understand important things for guns like sights, bullets wouldn't fit, where magazine go? where bolt gots? Or why in the original Gundam even all the way to early 2000s, body armor in ground infantry is stuck in WW2 logic


Sky9swim

A jar of zeon tears


okiedokieophie

Brazil patch


RizzOreo

They used to sell military-style metal cups with zeon and EFSF logos, I had one. Dunno if you can still get them anymore. Perfect for cosplaying a regular feddie grunt sipping terrible military coffee bored out of his mind.


Socidl

Was about to say sleeves and few badges for uni


animusd

Kinky boots


Mechaman_54

A little gm that can hold onto something and be cute, a sidearm like the pistol sayla threatens char with at the beginning of gundam 79


Polkadot_Girl

Shoulder patches for the Earth Federation Ground Forces, your unit, etc


ianmerry

How about a jet pack so you can help your soul escape the Earth’s gravity well, Federation scum! *(JK, cos looks really slick!)*


appalachiancascadian

Don't know if it's something you are able to alter, but the cuffs ought to be red from what I can see. The helmet needs the logo on it. Otherwise, awesome work.


AverageJun

Add war crimes


HumongousWorm77

I photo of your loving wife and kids that you can look at before being killed by the main antagonists suit


98Zr2

The old school navy flight deck goggles. I feel like they would fit in with the period of the gear better than a more modern pair such as ESS or Oakley would. Also, pretty inexpensive. https://www.thepublicsafetystore.com/rothco-g-i-type-sun-wind-dust-goggles.html?gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjw0_WyBhDMARIsAL1Vz8vOIkkhmmwKRNHh4KyyAOdbpgVoTSMEG3l0ows6wqElpEBrGcUSOU4aAkD9EALw_wcB


Inevitable_Equal_729

Overall, a great job. However, I have complaints about the insignia. The Warrant Officer's counter-shoulder straps are too wide. In addition, they should be closely adjacent to the seam connecting the sleeve to the rest of the jacket. I suggest you change the width by 2/3 of the current size. Also, think about what title you would definitely like to wear. And which version of the insignia. The original Gundam/The Origin/Stardust Memory/Unicorn. There are differences there. In addition, there are not enough lapel insignia. These are small rectangles sewn onto the collar with duplicate insignia.


Rogu3Wo1f

Some dirt, adds some distressing to the look. Makes you look like you've seen some action. Unless you wanna keep it clean, which is also totally reasonable. But where'd you get the jacket?


FuckIPLaw

I can't tell if it's too clean or if the fabric is just thin. It looks perfect except that something is off with the texture of the fabric, it looks too perfectly smooth. A little weathering definitely wouldn't hurt.


truenofan86

A 3D printed head of a killed Zeek

Bob_Ross_is_Boss86

Just don’t wear them outside of the uniform lol


Level_Remote_5957

Were you at momo con?


No_Soil_9769

Dude I straight up love this so much my only thought, what about a patch on the side like londo bell for example?


drew_silver202

the federation flag and a Gundam keychain


Nempopo029

Goggles.


dragon_sack

Maybe a ruger p89 airsoft gun? They're cheap and get close to mimicking the eff pistol. At least it has a slide mounted safety.


Snow_source

You going for the 08th MS space Vietnam look or the OG's fighting space Germany look? Because the answer would be totally different depending on which you're going for.


Chicken_Offensive

I'm going for space Vietnam because I'm basing it off 08th MS Team and some of the illustrations from the MS Era artbook.


ravengenesis1

Got that Kakarot197 look going on


Celestia4683

Probably some rank pips on the collar


Badr_qaws

Nice touch with the bullpup rifle. In the gun community we call them space guns.


killer_corg

Maybe some googles and a patch? Looks amazing


SyllabubBig4089

Gasoline to burn it 🔥 Sieg zeon


RoseBunwolfLuck

I would reccomend adding a zeon soldier cosplay to cover it all up, feddie scum


Slacflood

Nice M56 gear!


Cake_is_Great

Bottle of booze


scifibeardguy

Be sure to pre poop those pants, you don’t want to smell bad at a con.


NortherlyRose

If one exists I’d recommend an airsoft type 25/27 cus it looks closer than the sa80, but again I dunno if one exists nor how expensive one would be


AtCrushingpussdotcom

A face


ZerotheR

Definitely sand color boots. Spare magazines for the bandolier, or replace it with a chest rig, combat harness, or plate carrier.


Crish-P-Bacon

A RGM-79 would be cool.


Aelustelin

A face


SanitaryTrout

Could use some weathering


HeyItsLame

Looks good. Could use a face tho

ethangameboy

What did you use for the uniform?? Looks fantastic!


thereddaikon

All I have to say is, if the Federation chose the fucking L85 as their service rifle then they deserved to lose the war.


Mr-Downer

an actual flak jacket


Amigo1048

I’d say maybe a Feddie logo and ranking emblem. Most people would probably see you cosplaying as some generic soldier


falldekabreak06

Maybe give the uniform a bit of a scuffed and dirty finish to the pants and dry brush the helmet and bit of paint chip to the side to give it a grazed look but honestly it's your decision and any thing you choose is up to you and you will do great

A pair of motorcycle goggles. Because getting dust in your eyes in the middle of combat is no joke. Especially when you have 18m tall robots kicking up an ungodly amount of dust just *walking*

I would add a face, leaving the face area blank ruins the immersion

I think your cuffs need to be red, too. Also, your center seam should be yellow.


Ok-Consideration-193

A gunwound. And for the pictures pose layed down. Sieg Zeon! (btw it looks great)
