More GI Joe

I use these slightly larger ammo pouches as BAR magazines.
I would like to have five button shirts for everyone but so far only gradual success.
My plan is for everyone to have a pistol belt, two ammo pouches, two hand grenades, a first aid pouch, canteen and canteen case.  Mostly there, a few exceptions are those who don't carry M1 rifles, like the LT.
I have alternate weapons for a few figures, BAR from some unknown company for two squads, I would like two per squad but so far no go.  I have a few Springfields as sniper rifles and a few regular ones without the scope.
Their rifles are in a box when I took these photos.  Note the "doll" stands, I painted them a three color camouflage and they look pretty good, particular outdoors.
Helmets are stacked on top of their Ridgeway hats, only for inventory purposes.  Most of the helmets are Cotswold helmets with some GI Joe and a few others.
I have a supply of pith helmets for use in the Pacific or Africa, enough for a squad anyway.  Everyone has brown GI Joe boots, some from Cotswold.
