Kermit - Black cheap cloth as a back ground, white cheap cloth as the foreground and use copydex or spray mount to glue the bits on . Cotton works best with glue . Doesn't have to last more than 8 hours so don't bother making anything too permanent or expensive . I presume the flag will look like your avatar ?
Yup, just like the Avatar. I Like the copydex idea. Less hassle than spraypainting (not to mention less messy), and a damn sight less dangerous than me and a sewing machine.

I did a flag 12 years ago with it , it's still going stong .
Copydex sticks like ....like.....glue to a blanket 
. I used to use it on jeans many years ago and also landrover canvass, it just seems to love natural fibres .
Grenade on its way!

Must admit, i'm thinking of getting a few grenades myself. Its little props like that and other stuff that add so much to an impression

Just back of holiday, thanks for the replys,
in our group ian will be bringing a g3 with bipod and drum mag, is this ok as MG15 / 34 (its got not modern stuff, ris scopes etc, and its all black)
hes also got 3 lo caps, so he could use it as a rifle, if the support weapons are filled up. ( in noticed 2 mg 42s in december)
if not i might lend him my thompson or my broom handle.
really looking forward to this one.

Erm, I'm not sure i'll have to see what the other guys think.
The g3 coutns as a g43 in our set, might be confusing if we allow one person to drum magad bipod it and not others
He does know that if he were to play it as a mg he'd have to 'deploy' each time he wanted to fire it and coulnt use it form the shoulder or kneeling?

yes ive explained support gunner role to him,
hes also got 3 locaps and he could use the g3 as g43 if thats the rule, however it is in the rules is how he will want to play it

stubble hopper, ian and phil would need uniforms, me and paul are buying ours this week.
ill have to get sizes to you , ill phone both people tomoorow.
thanks for the help, what would the cost be for rental??
many thanks anthony

The cost for the kit rental is nil, consider yourself a Grenadier and welcome to the Hohenstaufen. All you'll need is a decent pair of boots, such as ex-British army high leg lace ups. I take it that there's three of you, if so that leaves one complete set of kit left, including helmet and webbing(see photo page 3), hope you'll all take part in a bit of a photo shoot with us.
If anyone else needs kit just let me know and I'll bring it along. As for the sizes, its all fairly loose stuff ranging from medium to XL oak A camo smocks and woolen trousers, there's a set of shirts, green cotton, all size large, and four sets of gaiters which fit anyone, the leather belts are all adjustable up to size massive.
HOHENSTAUFEN FOR THE WIN!
Anthony, looks like we crossed in the post there, OK that now leaves two spare sets of uniform and kit. hope we can fill them!

Yup, no problem with the sizes, I'll bring the large and xtra large oak A smocks, and the panzerhose in oak A they have large adjustable waists and should fit, again no probs, they'll need some British army high leg boots to go with the gaiters, you can get them, second hand, for a tenner at most army surplus shops and look ok(or any black or brown lace ups). I use them myself, need to know what size for the helmets and or ski caps, I can get some green shirts again in large, all this stuff will fit 6" plus blokes easily.
ill get their head sizes tommorrow.
again many thanks when i told tehm today, they couldnt belive the kindness and helpfullness of the community.
