Does any one know how to make the lengths of tied rope seen on Paratroopers' waists in Normandy? Just wanted to know for a bit of customistation!
Also, does anyone know how to, or ever made a 1:35 parachute??
Cheers

I think what you're talking about is called a toggle rope. I'm sure it had several uses. They were designed to be linked together via a loop at one end and a large wooden dowel at the other. Between several troopers this would make a larger rope for clearing obstacles and such.

Thanks! That something I didn't know!

heres a reference pic Harry,by the way i was issued this piece of kit when i joined the paras in 1986,it was withdrawn about 3 years later.

Harry for reference when worn on equipment the toggle rope was tied in the way i have drawn,sorry i didn`t have a photo and this is the best i could draw from memory.Hope it helps.
If you need photos of parachute harness i should have some in my army photos.

thanks so much guys - these pics are great!
