Ya not bad eh! Just waiting for my Jackboots...I think the next item on my list is the Gasmask and tin, then zeltbahn, then a-frame and mess tin....gotta go slowly now as the zeltbahn and gas mask are big ticket items...much mula!
Adding the Kar98 to the pic adds to the impression!

The gasmask isn't that bad at about 130, but the A-frame an' Zelt combo can hit hard.

Good choice on the Jackboots, they are the second best you can get. Did you ship Hobnails to them or are you goin' to install them when you get the boots?

Oberst39 · January 20th, 2006, 01:00

No I had them shipped with hobnails on already. I will blacken the boots as soon as I get them.

If you need any help in that department, just ask. Been there, done that.

Oberst39 · January 20th, 2006, 01:09

Oh trust me been there done that many times,,,,spent 6 years in the military myself...I can blacken and spit shine with the best of them.....thks anyhow...

Oberst, 1 suggestion, "antiquing" the buttons would add a nice touch to your tunic, its just painting the buttons feldgrau(fieldgrey), and eventually, they will get a bit worn, making the uniform look more authentic, look at my tunic if you want to see how it looks.

Ja thanks, actually it is hard to tell from the photo but the buttons are painted feldgrau and some of them are chipping already. Unfortunately I find it difficult to get the lighting right when taking photos like those, it makes it difficult to see the detail. Thanks for the suggestion though!.
