Well chuffed today
One of the airsoft shops I deal with for ammo and the like acquired most of the costumes worn by the soldiers at the end of the movie once filming had wrapped.
They were selling them a while before it was released, but weren't allowed to let on what film it was... And I found out too late to get a set in XL.
Was gutted.
Then later, I found out just how damn big the XL was - And I'd fit fine into an L.
But was skint
Gutted.
Then my boss decided he wanted a set.
I asked the lads if they'd sling me a discount for being a good customer
They agreed.
So my boss got a set for a little cheaper than the last advertised price of £100, and I got a set for a LOT cheaper for myself.
Then the courier screwed up the order.
End of the day, Airsoft Armoury flung in an extra set for nothing to make up for the delay, so I now own three near-complete costumes actually used in the production of this movie! For the princely sum of £20!
All that's missing is the boots and gloves. ( Some of the actors also had fleeces under the shirt, and I may be able to score one of those from elsewhere. The goggles and guns came from the props department
).
I need to get some decent pics.
Might nip up to the Gorbals at the weekend
( Pamela - If you see this, tell Sully to keep the set he scored in good nick! I suspect this will be worth a wee bitty more than he paid for it a while down the line...
)
