Around the gas mask canister, on the belt, on the D rings on the yoke - pics of them being carried in all these ways have been seen. Experiment with it, and find the most comfortable way for you :)

Just got my jackboots, good price too! Complete with heel and toe plates plus hobnails.

Have also just ordered my M40 tunic and M42 trousers, plus an M42 Oakleaf smock from Spearhead. Now I need to work out how to conceal it all from the wife! I hope they turn up on one of my days off!

Hmm.... good value for money, certainly. I know Stubblehopper (I think it was) said he had a wooden one which looked great - until he bought one of Hans Sheffield's wood and metal ones. I tell you what - mine is one heavy bugger - it might not explode but I reckon it could kill you if it hit you on the head! :lol:

Great looking stuff y'all.

Received my Kodak Medalist yesterday. Seller forgot to mention the automatic framecounter, shutterc*cking device, winding-lock and T-exposure lever were all broken. Not that they're needed to use the camera, but I paid good money for it, would've like to have been informed...darn bar-steward! :(

Also the Deluxe edition of Silent Hunter IV turned up with lots of goodies, including a DVD documentary on the US Silent Service in WW2.

I've got another monster order from Ostfront coming, mostly with manuals for a friend of mine and some Mosin Nagant accessoiries for me.

Bloody hell Mr F - how many cameras you got now? go on, give us a pic of all of them, so we in the digital era can remember what a "proper" camera looks like 8)

Well, i've got a few new bits. Pukka gas mask canister and 'mask. E-tool and an Esbit cooker (yes, i'm prepping for CR already) Also, from a gaming perspective, managed to pick up 5 mahoosive 4 minute lifeboat smokes for a tenner. All kit courtesy of Farnham Militaria market. Some truly lovely stuff there, but a quick way to bankruptcy!

That. Is. One. Hell. Of. A. Collection.

Very, very impressed!

You said you've got some stuff on the way from Ostfront. Any problems to be aware of? - there's some rather nice stuff on their website thats tempting me to part with yet more cash...

The sizing of their Russian Uniforms runs on the small side.
But Thomas is quick to exchange or refund anything you might not
find to your liking.

It'll probably get here this upcoming week:

Austrian Police Grenade Explosives Manual
German Engineer Demolition Equipment Manual
Manual for German WW2 2cm Flakvierling AA Gun
German WW2 Panzergrenadier Manual, 1944
Repro WW2 German Mauser 98K Sight Covers
Repro WW2 German GERMAN RED CROSS Chocolate Tin
Reproduction German WW2 Bahlsens Keks Tins
Reproduction Werhrmacht WW2 Shoe Polish Tin, Eg-G

Woo! Hoo! My East German jackboots arrived today, from North Carolina - bit of a strange route, I know! And they actually fit. :D

I'll say. The stuff I ordered was about 4inches bigger than I needed and it only just fits me. Either that or Im just kidding myself :)


No longer involved in airsoft.
