thanks in Adv.

I think considering the large wood content on the stock that there's no need to cover that at all.

However not sure about the shiney barrel... I guess it'll be okay

its ok i,l spray it when he,s not looking
i,l teach him how to do a good gob on it

Finally, my GrossDeutschland loadout is complete! Firstly, credit where credit is due: the final item(s) I needed were the shoulderboards, so I ordered from the place that's supposed to be the best quality (who shall remain un-named). A week later, having heard nothing, I called them - yes, they were just doing the internet orders today, yes, enlisted man's GD shoulderboards piped in white, yes, you need them fairly quickly, no problem. Two days later (yesterday) the package turns up - "sorry, we don't have any GD ones left - here's some plain ones." What a flaming twit! For someone whose website harks on about being the most realistic stuff, he then sends me completely the wrong item - why didn't he call me to say he didn't have any, or even email me?

So, I get to work, call up Soldier of Fortune - I've been let down, have you got any? Let me check - yes we have a whole boxful. In a hurry? I'll put it in 1st class today. And sure enough, 24 hours later they're here - great service, SoF.

Here's my completed tunic:

GrossDeutschland cuffband on the right sleeve, GrossDeutschland shoulderboards, enlisted man's infantry collar patches. The silver lanyard on the right pocket is attached to a WWII Feldgendarmerie whistle. Ribbons are Iron Cross 2nd class over the Russian Front campaign medal. Decorations on the right side are (top to bottom) Silver Close Combat Clasp, Iron Cross 1st class, Infantry Assault Badge, Silver Wound Badge. Obergefreiter strips on left sleeve.

very nice, i think your a few sticthes short on the shoulder boards though

If a company screws you around, name 'em and shame em. I'm more than happy to do so. Take Richard Underwood for example. I ordered a shirt from them. FOUR WEEKS LATER it turns up. With a sodding SOF label in it!

OK - it was Underwood!

understood , it was underwood who were understandard, you understated this.

just getting my razor sharp bayonet point accross

is all kitted up. yay!

Came into work this morning to find three packages with a load of cards... it's like christmas - only at Easter
I'm now fully kitted up.

How long you been working on the "dont f**k with ME" expression?

I think he borrowed it from Neil !

no i was born with it

ive had some much trouble in life, so many people in the army though i was giveing them shit.

on my 1st meeting in an almagamated regiment with a scotish corpral, 2 minuites in to a conversation, he said, "do you want a go you big english bastard."

i said "why?"

he said "your looking at me like that"

i said "dont worry , its my normal face, and i always grumpy"

story of my life unfortunatly

he he me too - every one always thinks I am really p****d off I have been told by a friend that if I had said i was a mugger they would have had no trouble believing me.... We will strike terror in to the heart of those tommies....!
