Unboxing original Band of Brothers Props

A great friend of mine, the excellent Gary Bunn was an extra on Band of Brothers and ages ago he said he had some props from the iconic series and would I like them? Hell yes was the answer! So watch me as I open the box! Disclaimer: Sadly there are no Stugs or MP 44s😧
Re painting German helmets
Просмотров 16 тыс.4 года назад
I had these repro M42 Helmets and wasn't happy with the colour and finish. After much research I discovered most German helmets left the factory with a standard 'Grau' or grey finish and it was up to the owner of the helmet to repaint if they wished. Many helmets were repainted when the owner came across a tank crew or vehicle crew repainting their tank/truck, quite literally 'Hey pal, how abou...

I was given this book as a present and figures it might make a good film prop but it was way too new looking! Time to age it up! The music is by me.
Normandy 2019

A selection of pictures from my trip to Normandy last year 2019. We only covered the American sector (I plan to visit the British and Canadian sector as soon as) but we were there for a week and got to see an awful lot in a short space of time. It was really humbling to 'walk in the footsteps' of those brave men and women and despite having studying the history of World War Two for nearly forty...

A short(ish) drama set in Normandy 1944. Two soldiers from opposing sides meet and despite initial mistrust, realise they need each other to survive. This is my first film and despite it's many shortcomings I'm very proud of all the cast and crew who put many hours of work into making it happen. To all the re-enactors out there, yes I'm aware the American's boots were wrong, (ordered Corcorans ...
Quite odd seeing that you have your SS decal on the left side and your N@zi party decal on the right, late police model impression I’m guessing? Either way you can’t go wrong with an epic militia replica 😊
Hiya, to be honest I buggered the decals up so badly I just painted over them in the end. I then gave the helmets a good scuffing and they looked just fine. I'm not saying 'this the way to do it', more like this is what did... 😝
@@zangtumtung fair enough lol
did any body notice the german cocked the 1911 twice,so it now had 6 rounds in it ,the american must have cocked it again to point at the german so now down to 5
Yeah, I know....my bad! 🤪
very good friends lost in 100% so sad
I've seen enough of the real helmets to be able to recognize an original finish, but you had me fooled with your opening shots.
TSÑA💂🏻♂️💂🏻♂️👍
what is the best paint? sympacolor or fosco?
The American guy's last words were and I quote: "Hey don't shoot you asshole-!" and then proceeded to get domed.😂
No major action ! 😮 However; great cinematography ! 💥
Thank you. No, no major action as unfortunately action/pyro's, bloodbags, squibs etc cost money. Licensed technicians and insurance etc But it is based on a true story...

Very carelessly done! Shoulder straps were introduced in the Red Army only in 1943. Hairstyles are anachronistic, they are no good! Awful.
Nice work!
Thank you! 😃

As a former US ARMY MP I am mortified that the pork chop MP in this vid is very much over fed!......the guy has no neck! I have never seen an MP that round!
Ha, ha 😝 that 'Pork chop' is me! I decided to have a Hitchcock type cameo in my own film. But, yes I agree, I should have known better!😜 It won't happen again...well, not until my next film anyway!
These things did happen in reality during WWII but rarely for example Charlie Brown Franz Stigler case. One can Google search it.
Yes I remember reading about that. I love the fact that they were able to meet after the war. This story is actually based on two true stories; one recounted to me by an elderly French man many years ago about how he helped a British parachutist out of a tree on the night before D-Day and the other of an American and a German soldier some days after D-Day, both wounded and did the 'if we come across Americans you're my prisoner, if we come across Germans, I'm your prisoner' thing. Thanks for watching😎
兵士達が皆んな歳をとっている様に見えるのは私だけですか？当時参加していた兵士は20代前半だと思うのですがどうみても30代中盤ぐらいか40代に見えてしまうましてや顎髭に白髪があるという事はそれなりの年だと思うのですが？
こんにちは、リクルーティングの年齢範囲は 18 歳から 45 歳の間だったと思いますが、ハリウッドを拠点としていない私が利用できる俳優に限られています 😜
理想論に基づく作品ですね、現実の戦場この様な単独の場面はあり得ないでしょう、そして主役以外の死の場面が軽率に描かれてしまっているのが残念であるが、そこに戦争の真実があると思う。この様な戦時ドラマにありがちな俳優の年齢が現実とは違い歳を取り過ぎている感が否めない実際はもっと若いはずだと思うのですが？
stupid pointless ending
I’m restoring an m40, I took the previous paint completely off as it was already pretty badly restored, now I have to repaint it, I bought day 1944 paint, I tried on the shell to see if it would hold on, but it doesn’t, I can scratch it off with my nails. Do you know if I have to use any sort of primer or what I should do to make it work?
Amazing work! One of the best and interesting shorts I’ve seen! Bravo writer!❤
You are clearly a woman of great taste and intelligence! 😜 Many thanks for your kind comments.
Im going to reference this video for when I get a reproduction m42 stalhelm from amazon, trying to make a sänitater with an all white helmet with the red cross all around it
You ever get around to it? I’d like to see it. 👀
No
you should do a part 3 at some point.
Yeah I have a WWII Fixed Bale McCord that I'm going to restore pretty much the same condition that your Schlueter was in. Be interesting to see what primer you used for this restoration.
Another short film about nothing.
Notm the best I have seeen! The helmets were Russina type. Not like the real American soldier helmets!
Can I ask you something. I would like a German helmet for the exhibition, but I don't have the opportunity to pay as much as $100-$200 for an original. Do you think it would be a good idea to remake the German firefighter helmet to look like a military one, they are the same shape
I think if you're just doing it for display/show and tell sort of thing I think that's fine and not trying to pass it off as the real thing (because you'll caught out pretty quick, if only for the fact a real Stahlhelm weighs a ton and the fireman's helmet weighs couple of ounces!😝) Go for it! (not that you need my permission...I'm not the 'Helmet Police! 🤪)
@@zangtumtung Thank you, I would like the helmet only for display
Do you realize that the decals are reversed?
I know this is an old video. Its not a bad starting point. I would suggest updating the video description to reflect some of the lessons learned from the comments below. I know you couldn’t get a hold of aluminum oxide. You should explain that in the video description. People will use your methods as a starting point so you should tell them what you learned so will be informed as well. Also, your helmets look much better than what you initially had them as. The color tones are subjective to the company producing the paint. Dunkel grau (RAL code 7015)Schiefer grau vs feldgrau (RAL code 6006) are similar in color just vary in color tone. Feldgrau is not apple green. Apple green was a pre war color. Helmets were later made to be darker so the next color shade used on m40s was nicknamed pea green. Feld grau is not pea green as mentioned by some one else. Pea green as a color is a tone between Feldgrau and apple green. Again the color tones are good. Both are very appropriate for m42 helmets. Just update the video description to reflect correct info. learned from the comments and this is a decent starting point for beginners. Also the lack of aluminum oxide is tough. Its hard to sprinkle it on and not look clumpy like cork sprinkled on an m1 steel pot. Someone suggested mixing it in with acrylic paint and brushing it on. If dome right. That finish will look great. Lay down a good base coat of a flat spray paint, so brush applied paint and aluminum oxide mix has something to really bite into. Sanding the paint on the metal isn’t enough for that kind of paint and application. It really needs nice flat paint to act like primer. Stipple the paint on. Id you stipple, it will look sprayed on. Bake the finish at 180*f for a few hours. This will speed up the curing process and harden the finish too. Then spray paint over it with the Desiree color Or. You can use a textured finish from a can like rustoleum or krylon. Hammered metal finish looks good texture wise. Spray over with the correct color. Easy way to simulate aluminum oxide. Yes this isn’t how helmets were done historically. However, you’re trying to replicate the end results to simulate aluminum oxide texture. For those only saying sprinkle on aluminum oxide, the Germans mixed it into the paint and sprayed it on. So for all of the accuracy purists out there( most likely having a fit) these are repro helmets, the intent is to simulate the texture and take away the shine. Theses are some good ways to do that. Ways that anyone who does not have the money pr means to do it correctly. Regardless, the end results look nice! Much better than when you started out!
Many thanks for your comment. As you quite correctly pointed out I am in no way an expert and simply wished to repaint them so they weren't so shiny. They were/are for use in filming and I am not a re-enactor so exact detail is not really needed and they certainly wouldn't pass muster for a re-enactment group. However I am pleased with the way they turned out and yes, they do look better 😃
Didn't the war end in April in real life?
The war in Europe ended on May 7th 1945 and the war in the Pacific ended 14th August 1945.
@@zangtumtung ah
Sawdust? (mimics vomiting) Another one bites the dust. And not the ending I expected. Why would he shoot a fellow American just because of a Nazi?
Thanks for the video , painted a Finnish contract m40 brown to resemble Afrika korps. Turned out well , the lazy Susan was a great help indeed!
Ah great! The lazy susan thing I pinched from someone else but for two minutes effort makes life a lot easier...😃
8:03 Fuck You was a term not used during WW2, in fact the word Fuck was seldom used at all. The Fuck did not become popular use until the mid to late 60s.
Hi, just done some brief research into the history of 'fuck'. First recorded use was in 1465 and comes from the old Germanic word ' hit' or 'to strike' I would certainly concede that perhaps 'fuck you' is a more modern phrase but FUBAR and SNAFU most certainly originated during WW2. An interesting comment! 😃
@@zangtumtung The word has been around for centuries. Thats well known. My point is it was not thrown around in common everyday language until the mid to late 60s era. Once the use started it picked up quickly. My father was a WW2 vet he and many vets still living will tell you it was not commonly used. I was born in the late 50s I didn't even here the word until the mid 60s and it still wasn't that common then, by the late 60s the word was all over the place.
To apply a grainy finish try spraying the helmet with a tack spray by 3-M and then a light dusting of sawdust etc. The paint should seal things up and if not use any sort of dull coat etc. To age the liner - and it will look like perspiration stains - apply damp coffee grounds.
Good tip. I've got a bottle of finely ground cork I used on my US M1s but to be honest after a few weeks of handling they that lose that shine. Also these are film props so aren't subjected to the same scrutiny as re-enactors 😜
@@zangtumtung Hello - here in Chicago the old t.v. show "Combat!" is on and I enjoy looking at the errors on the German helmets - this was long before reproduction ones were being manufactured. Any advice on decals? It is here that I have meet somewhat of a Waterloo - my problem is that I can not leave well enough alone!
@@johnzeszut3170 Ah Combat! I loved that show as a kid and am enjoying it all over again as some kind soul has put it up here on RUclips. Yeah they usually had the Germans running around in WW1 Stalhelms and blazing away with Vickers .303 machines guns with the odd .50 Cal thrown in! 😝 but it didn't matter because the story lines were so good. Decals! Don't talk to me about decals! I think in the video I pointed out that I painted over them because I'd f**ked them up so badly 😝 So sorry no help there...
looks lake a comedy
Bro that guy in the end lost 10 XP for friendly fire
Yeah he's gonna be on the naughty step for a while! 😝

HelloThankyou Howareyou so much everybodyCambodia you l alot
Glad you enjoyed it. Greetings from the UK 😎
Really good flick ! It shows how both sides were indoctrinated to hate and kill perfect strangers. Having to kill in order to stay alive became the call for both sides even though it went against their nature !
Thank you sir! You've pretty much summed up my thinking when making the film 😎 Do check out my second film 'Lost' on my channel and keep an eye out for my new film 'The Chair' coming soon

The end was bad😢
Very unexpected ending
Life isn't always what you expect! 😎 Thanks for watching...
Im using aluminum oxide for texture as sand is a little large. It doesn't really matter because they were frequently overpainted in the field. When using aluminum oxide and enamel paint, I'll bake it in the oven on a very low setting for an hour or so, 150° . It actually melds the aluminum oxide and enamel paint into a super strong paint . I did it with restoring coleman lanterns and just transferred the process to helmets( no A.O) on lanterns though . Corked M1s I lower the temp and time so as not to burn it.( not sure if that has or ever could happen ,it's just something that I THINK might happen if temp was too high or in too long. Good video, tips are always good for those of us unwilling or incapable of shelling out the ridiculous amounts of loot that Nazi junk costs. I have (1) M35. I collect allied only, M1s and M1917s. (Except that 1 M35 which I'm not thrilled about but im going all in with field camouflage, some European chicken wire ( its different than ours in the U.S.) or maybe a "so called" Normandy camo, job. Sorry about jacking up your thread. Decent job. Good color. Thanks for the video
Ah, now you are doing things properly! I should have mentioned I'm a film maker and just want the helmets to look a bit 'better' from a distance. When you have brand new shiny helmets your actors do look as if they've just arrived from Central Casting! Like the sound of your thoroughness tho' 😎

Good video mate. That’s a very nice copy of an m42. Would look great in normandy camo spray job.
A few bad decisions all around.
I just got done painting my m42 and it turned out very good thanks for having a nice video to watch I used a small amount of aluminum oxide to give a slight texture I didn’t want to over do it so only used a small salt pinch then I moved it around a little to spread it out then finished it with another small layer of paint.
Ah, Aluminum Oxide nice. Sadly I couldn't get hold of any but as you know, I'm sure, that was what was used originally for texture...I think it was added to the paint when spraying.
Aluminium oxide was added to the paint to make the surface less reflective. I got hold of some AO very cheap off ebay and mixed it with acrylic paint which I painted on by hand as a base coat and then spray painted over it. I think it looks very effective. I went with a relic look.
Fantastic film and some solid performances, can’t imagine the effort this was to make. Believe it or not this film especially was a massive inspiration for my own war film about The Falklands War which can be found on my channel. Thanks for the inspiration mate!
Well thank you Paddy for your generous words. Was it an effort to make? Yes it was!😝 Apart from being Writer/Director/Producer/Camera/Catering/Runner/Driver it was my first film and trying to figure it out on the run! Still guys like you and I prove it can be done. True I'm not gonna have guys like Spielberg or Scorcese looking over their shoulder but hey I love making films! You will doubtless be distressed to hear I'm in pre-production for my next film! 🤪 'The Chair' filming in early September! All the very best.
