Hasn't Bedsnbucks got a Soviet Navel Infantry kit? If that's what he wore in the social time at Gunman's last 'Cold War' era game, then it does look good. Josh (Gunman) was tempted to pursue a landed Kreigsmarine loadout too!

That was me not B&H. It was cold war kit but much of it is the same. My GPW era NI kit is almost done now Yith has kindly made me a belt. :good: The webbing will be army for now unless the FoR order turns up so I'll have spares I can dye blue.

Not an actual acquisition by me but this is my mates 1911A1 birthday cake. Thought some of you may appreciate it? (it tasted great by the way!)

That is how the allies won the war, Guns made from butter! :P

Yeah those guys had a stall at W&P, we were very tempted by the Pioneer saw and scabbard they had but it was a bit pricey as is a lot of their stuff. The pukka reel is cool but A: a bit pricey, and B; not very practical to carry around. The hand spool can clip onto your webbing and actually be useful. I'd suspect Pioneers would have used them for demo purposes. As it is we will be putting phone cable on it anyway so it will be dual role, comms and demo :wink:

At last!! A big grey army blanket - not an original Wehrmacht or repro, but it'll do the biz. Search for "Armeedecke" on ebay.de. As ever, the postage was a killer, but the total was less than 30 Euros. Blanket brand new, probably Polish.
