Wow, where to start.

Does anyone remember the competition the Propstore did to win either a prop or costume from HBO's The Pacific?

Well I entered, not thinking I'd win anything, as you do.

I got a call yesterday afternoon from the Propstore informing me that I'd won a full Corpsman Ruddiger costume.

The same as this I think...
http://www.propstore.com/product-Corpsman-Ruddiger-s-US-Costume-002.htm

I'm still really excited as I type this and still can't quite believe it.
This is my first, and most probably only ever, screen used prop/costume.

Can't wait to get it.

Cheers Fred Smile

Never thought in a million years i'd win one of the prizes.

Thanks again.

Thanks Andy.

Got the costume this morning.

Still can't quite believe it.

I love that it is slighty worn and has a safety pin in the trousers because they must have been a little too big for the actor.

Will post some pictures as soon as I can borrow a camera which will hopefully be tonight.

Thanks J.

I've been watching the series and finally found my costume.
I thought it'd be an extra but it turns out the person wearing my costume even has a couple of lines.

It's in episode 4 and it's when Leckie gets sent to a military hospital and points a Nambu Type 14 at him.

Really chuffed I got to see it on screen.
