    G.I. MacJoe

    Now here's somebody with way too much time on their hands: http://www.leviathanstudios.com/figu...joe/kilts.html

    Maybe this should be in the kiltmakers section, ha.

    A kilt made from a clear shower curtain would be one way to answer THE QUESTION!

    Figured somebody would suggest this. In my defense...I often surf looking for kilts and military links on google image. I think this one came up with kilt and infantry, not sure.

    There are some ppl who enjoy recreating military scenarios in miniature. Quite a few ppl enjoy dressing dolls in various costumes/period wear. How about this one:

    James Bond: On Her Majesty's Secret Service Action Figure <H4>This outfit was a commission for Jonathan Sheen. I made him a jacket, kilt, socks, sporran, vest, and a shirt with a lace jabot. He has more pictures of Sideshow's George Lazenby action figure modelling this outfit at his Leviathan Studios site. I've never seen this movie, so all I had to go by were the screen captures and other photos Jonathan gave me as reference material. And Jonathan gave me LOTS of good photos to work from - the more images, showing the more angles (front, back, side, close-up, long-shot, etc.), the better. He also asked me to write up a how-to for it. I'll tweak it as I think of additional info, and edit it to make it more coherent, but here are some basics. Bail out now if you don't want to read my how-to notes. <H4><H4>The vest and shirt were based on a commercial pattern. (If you want or need a primer on commercial patterns, there is one further down the page.) The vest now opens lower than the original design. I replaced the pattern's shirt collar with a narrow band to cover any gap between the shirt and the jabot. I decided to make the jabot a separate piece from the shirt, since the shirt closes in the front, but the jabot closes in the back according to the photo references. <H4> </H4></H4></H4></H4>

    This is from http://vikki.ethernauts.net/bondhowto.html , & the page continues on with descriptions of how she made various parts of the outfit.

    I've seen a pipe band or two wearing flashes in the front. And I saw a discussion about it somewhere... maybe at viperpiper.org?
