I'm just going for your typical post-apoc Russian badass look, so it'll work for STALKER/Metro/etc. \:v:/
Stalker loadout is best loadout. I'm still workin on mine, just need top and bottom bdus or jacket or whatever. Then hopefully I'll get a smersh in the future.
Stalker loadouts are overrated IMO. It's just a Russian PMC/insurgent with a gasmask.
Yeah but they are pretty easy for anyone to make and when done right are totally bitchin. When I get enough money I'm gonna go all out on mine and get the STALKER patches, respirator, and all the bells and whistles.
The appeal for most people, I think, is that it's more paramilitary than typical insurgents but at the same time allows for mismatch and flexibility in the equipment chosen, and the theme itself encourages individualism and diversity in the equipment taken without being civilian clothes plus guns like most insurgents. Personally I made a Stalker loadout because I don't feel right wearing a complete uniform of a military I'm not a part of, so didn't want to make a straight-up Bundeswehr loadout, but still can use the flecktarn (with patches and insignia removed).
But for god's sake don't use an unmodified gas mask in airsoft. It's just dumb.

This is the complete opposite of me. I like the ability airsoft gives you to re-enact real units, which I plan to do in a respectful manner.
Don't get me wrong, I have no problem with people who do, and I totally understand the appeal, I just personally prefer not to wear real uniforms that are currently in use. I don't see a need to recount my life story, but suffice it to say that I prefer to keep my entertainment (with respect to milsim) firmly in the realm of fantasy, or at least history.
How much would you say a set of Afgahnkas would go for? What would I use for like web gear and what not, like belt, suspenders, AK mag pouches etc. I've for a soviet tankers patch, maybe I could make a mechanized infantry loadout.
Might be a repost :v:
The best Webbing for STALKER loadout is some good old British pattern 58.
Guy who owns soviet-power said he'd send me a gasmask bag in my next order for free if I specified to.
:v:
I heard bad things about soviet power, how has your experience been?

I tried a quick google search and couldn't find any in the U.S.
Also Smersh is master race.

Jesus I can't even find a good website to build an Alice rig. I must have horrible Google skills.
[editline]5th May 2011[/editline]
Hmmmmm I suppose I could get an ALICE base then get some AK molle pouches and use those molle to alice thingies and have a perfectly fine STALKER rig. But that pattern 58 and smersh would be better options imo.
You can just hang the molle pouches off the belt?

Fenris, look on ebay
Have been, I guess I'm too picky.

It was ok. Only bad thing was the veschmeshok that came didn't have a nametag pocket OR a back pocket on it like in the picture. The gasmask not coming with a bag was my fault.
Man, redsoldiers are way too slow.
If anyone really wanted Pattern 58 or whatever you can always give me money to buy it for you and I can get it shipped.
I'm taking pictures of the rucksack that was missing the pockets and stuff tonight, apparently I got a Swedish version or some shit and I think he's going to send me a correct one if I show him picture.
He doesn't seem to want to send me the correct item I ordered, sigh. Anyway, behold.

Can someone tell me how to interpret a size chart on redsoldier because its so confusingly and sloppily laid out that I can't understand it at all.

Ah okay now I understand it.

Ribbed for her pleasure.
Time to derail the STALKER train with real Russian loadouts.

I recommend Skipper's for your needs if you are stateside. I ordered a Flora Kepi, set of VSR, and a VDV telnyashka. Ordered Sunday, it was here today. Great stuff. :)
Pictures to come later.
