The Victorian Outpost

Its a new gaming place in Grimsby with new terrain and new scenery, lots of respect for all wargamers and is the best place to game in town.

Anybody who wishes to visit the venue to arrange a game then  just pm me and lets roll those dice.

They look ace. I think you've nailed the look. Here's some info that might help-

The airframe helmet is most common in the tan colour:

http://www.cryeprecision.com/P-HLMM0106LG0/Airframe%E2%84%A2-Helmet

... but covers (most common), printing and re-painting lead to more variations:

http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&safe=off&biw=1280&bih=620&gbv=2&tbm=isch&sa=1&q=crye+airframe+helmet&oq=crye+airframe+helmet&aq=f&aqi=g1g-S2&aql=1&gs_sm=e&gs_upl=3009l3809l0l3954l5l5l0l0l0l1l249l909l0.3.2l5l0

The combat-pants come in stock sizes, with the multicam version having tan kneepads as standard, although I've seen these in green too (far less common and probabaly not stock):

http://www.cryeprecision.com/Item_Detail.aspx?ItemCode=APRCP40232R&title=Combat-Pants-Ac

I think your colourway is correct but, if anything, I'd lighten the tan helmet and kneepads a bit (lighter wash) because they are a very pale colour in real life. Having said that - this is modern stuff rather than historicals, so who's to say that your unit haven't purchased customised kit?
