I was gonna do 2nd Rangers, but that unit seems to be oversubscribed! Recently, I've been thinking of doing 29th Infantry division.
I'd love to get an infantry loadout (I hate that word too, surely theres a better one).
impression?
"I think we are in rats' alley - Where the dead men lost their bones."
impression?
See, that just makes me think of stitch-counters, and i die a little inside.
other than that, i dunno though, how about fancy dress costume, or playsuit? 
What impression are you doing? I have a 101st helmet.
British airborne.
British Marching Compass Mk1. Won on ebay, just went round to the guy's house to pick it up... happy!
I also just received some buttons for my belgian leather jerkin... they're a bit big, but are definitely a suitable style.
Last week I received an order from SoF.
- Bayonet frog for the No1 bayonet. (they actually sent me an Indian frog for the No4, the Mark III version. This has been returned and hopefully I'll have the right one soon.)
- Whistle lanyard
- leather watch strap with dial cover. Now has my argos
Thompson, 5x locaps and 1x 420 hicap from A Gregory

My 1903 from Rhys is ready to go so that's my weaponry sorted for CR.

You test-fire on CDs?
I use empty bean/cola cans. It's cheaper than wasting CDs.

They were old Data CDs that needed destroying anyway, I'm a bit of a plank, but not that much of a plank
I just thought you were more bling than us meager can nailers.
Nah, I just didn't have any cans etc to hand as the missus had made me tidy the kitchen and clean the whole flat last night. It's no fun when she's ill, she's got too much time to think up jobs for me to do 
.
If you wanna do US infantry try the Big Red 1, a few of us have that kit at CiA
Kermit might be able to answer that one, he's been rigging a field telephone system up recently.
In the post today:

Arrived this morning:-
2 Koppelschlaufen & 2 Zeltbahn's
arrived yesterday afternoon all the way from WPG one denison sleeping bag (reduced price chaps), one gas cape/waterproof (huge thing that), one gas brassard (so yup I will be able to tell who dealt it....), and a new pair of braces.

which is very good and doesn't have any info about those nasty SS bods in it 
if youd have said tuesday you could have had my old copy. I somehow managed to get 3 copys of the same eddition of it.
Arrived over the last couple of days:
8 x repro ally Zelt pegs
80M of 4mm Hemp rope (for Zelt loops and Zeltleine) (FAR cheaper to buy the "right" rope and make them yourself rather than buy pre-made ones)
