Peter is a Brit Commando/Bren gunner in Africa in 1944 (or later).  We know this because his Bren vest/pouch rig has a small label dated 1944 on the inside, a nice touch of realism. He wears a 1942 Ametsan sweater, nicely done, and a pair of Kavie Doal shorts, with the droppable lower pants legs.  These are nicely done, with small ties sewn nicely in the bottom seam, and a perfect button and button hole in the pant legs so they can be rolled up and tied to create a pair of desert shorts in the hot parts of the day.  He wears a standard Brogan-style combat boot, with knee socks and a pair of sand wraps for gaiters.  They are nicely done as well, with a cotton web tie rather than the thin rayon some companies use (that unravels horribly if snagged). 

The Bren vest is nicely made and detailed.  It is a chocolate brown color, with two Bren magazine pouches sewn onto the front of the vest.  Peter's entrenching tool attaches to the rear of the vest exactly like it would a standard Brit harness/backpack set up.  The vest features VERY visible white stitched seams (having never seen a photo of these vests, I cannot vouch for authenticity here), and has small grommets punched through and laced between the parts.  This is a very nice touch.  The Bren pouches themselves have a toggle closure that is perfectly made and sized, just like a tiny version of the end of the Brit toggle rope.  The entrenching tool is nicely done, and the cover is a nice canvas-like material in a solid khaki coloring. 

He comes with a nice assembly of extra's, including an interesting cloth life vest.  This item is worn under the arms and wrapped around the chest, and is apparently inflated by a long rubber tube and the wearers' lung power.  It's a nice touch, a unique piece, and well done, even if I can't speak to the accuracy of it.  The helmet is die cast metal, with a molded black liner.  It fits okay on Peter's head, but it does have a tendency to fall off due to the weight. Tightening the helmet straps will stop that.  Peter comes with a cloth neck wrap/scarf and a nice cloth watch cap for those cold desert nights.

His belt comes equipped with a cloth pistol holster in a drop down sling, similar to BBI's other desert rat, Douglas Caldwell.  An F/S fighting knife is nicely done and weathered, with a touch of stainless steel wear on the grip in a fake leather scabbard. Peter also comes with a spike bayonet and scabbard, intended for a Sten or SMLE, most likely.  I am unsure why this item is included in the set, as the commando is armed with a Bren gun and a .45 cal auto, neither of which will accept a spike bayonet.  However, it too is nicely done, and an extra is always appreciated in any set.  Another extra is the ubiquitous Brit toggle rope, and BBI has thrown in a nicely done cotton rope, off white and nicely weathered. 

To carry everything a commando needs, Peter comes with a beautiful A-frame backpack.  This is a cloth rucksack with 3 external pouches, attached to a plastic tubular A frame rack.  The rack is curved at the base to fit the waist, with nice webbing for a frame belt and shoulder straps.  This piece is well done and worth getting as an addition for any troop.

A cloth ammo pouch comes with the figure for the extra .45 clips for Peter's M1911 (with lanyard).  BBI includes 3 clips for the M1911 and 3 for the Bren, a nice touch for those looking to fill up their ammo pouches.  The clips fit nicely in the pouches without being bulky.  The only down side to the entire accessory set is the .45 ammo pouch that has two brass "staples" on the back for attachment to the belt itself.  These are literally staples, from the looks of them, and they flop and twist around and make it nearly impossible to attach the pouch to the belt without a pair of needlenose pliers or tweezers.  I bent the bottom edge of mine into the webbing of the pouch, and that forced the top clip/opening to remain in place and I was able to attach the pouch with ease.  A dab of glue would also work just as well.

The best part of the set is the Bren gun, a work of art in itself.  It features a variety of nice working features, including a removable barrel.  The bipod can be removed as well, if desired.  The Bren features a working slide cover for the magazine port, to keep sand and dirt out when the clip is not in place.  A spring loaded cocking arm is nicely done on the side of the magazine housing, with a "flip up" cocking handle that works.  A monopod rest flips down from the buttstock for support as well.  The painting is nicely done, with wear and weathering handled perfectly.  A cloth sling adds the final touch to a beautiful weapon, one worth adding to any collection.
