I've combed Renderosity, Poser World and Vanishing Point and have found a lot of cool props to create World War II uniforms out of for Poser figures such as Michael 1, 2 & 3 and Apollo.  I'm wondering if anyone knows of any lesser known sites tucked away anywhere out there where there may be a few items of interests such as uniforms, weapons and hats or helmets.  Particularly I'm looking for a Russian fur hat, a military over coat and anything else that may be of help in recreating all the different uniforms of World War II.

Many thanks for any help.

search for jtrout, he made a russian overcoat. Someone posted a freebie site here in this forum that had tons of japanese wwII items as well.  I have seen a fur hat, I will check around.

Thank you all!!!  All the sites above are FANTASTIC!  There is so much awesome stuff out there!  And people such as yourselves make this forum an INVALUABLE resource!

Many thank yous!

there used to be one called (I think) GIPoser, that had a lot of Japanese items, but I think it joined 'club 404'...

By 'club 404' you mean the site is no longer in service?  That's too bad.  Japanese stuff seems relatively hard to come by.   Although the site listed above has just about everything WW2 Japanese the heart could want. 

I haven't had a lot of luck finding World War ii British helmets either.  Would anyone happen to know a good site for them, especially one with camo netting on it?

I'll gladly give that a try.  Gimme a shout tomorrow.

Many thanks SamTherapy!  I will give you a shout tomorrow! 

EDIT: We can also discuss monetary compensation at that time as well.

yeah 'club 404' is just my way of saying it's gone. Hmmm...brb..;)

Nah..it's been gone so long that I took it out of the database. If you have the original URL, you can plug it into the Wayback Machine website, and maybe find out who the original artist was. I remember there was the Japanese cap with the 'curtain' in back. Some web gear, as I remember.

Here's where it was

sigh...ok, it's all in Japanese, and it doesn't have any links....my bad. I found the link at a place called Male Poser...if that helps. It's uh...not a postable link here, though...

The round helmet goes back to WW1, and was used by British and American troops. It was still in US service at the time of Pearl Harbor, but the switch to the M1 helmet was in progress. In US service the WW1 pattern was the M17, and the later version with a new design of liner was the M17A1 In British service it was partly replaced by a new pattern by the end of WW2. This is what you'll see in photographs of the Normandy landings. The old type is sometimes labelled as a "Brodie", while the 1944 pattern is sometimes called a "turtle", and was still issued at the time of the Falklands War. In British service the paratroop helmet was very different to both, and the basic shell was also used for tank crew and other specialised helmets. So, with a bit of attention to detail, you could have quite a varied collection from one basic model.

I found a cool forum post on British World War II helmets.  It looks like you are correct.[
