Haven't received my Ostfront order yet :( It'll probably turn up this week.

My latest acquisition:

A more period correct Speed Graphic Camera, it does have a Graflock-back installed so I can use my roll-film adapter.

Anyone interested in buying my Crown Graphic? ;)

Awesome stuff... :)

You're not the first to have that happen... though I'm pretty sure that little collection beats most!

You know this thread is great... its like WW2 airsofters anonymous... The more I post the more I can see how much I'm spending and try to curb my addiction...

BTW I forgot to mention all the repro rations I ordered on ebay today and the 1940s boot polish... lol!

Hmmm... is it really working?

Hi, my name is Jay, and it's now 32 minutes since my last purchase (seriously!) more kit on the way to finish off the "random crap" side of my Waffen-SS loadout including:

Ration bags
1930's cigarette case
Repro german fighting knife.

You're right Yith. It's a bloody great big testament to our WW2 obsessions! 8)

It's the same thing with this topic on the Dutch WW2 re-enactment forum. ;)

My name is Rick and it's been 36 hours since my last purchase. And I'm obsessed with the musty smell of canvas. The bank sent me a new creditcard and it's not been tested yet...*shakes visibly*...must not trawl Ebay, Manions, WPG, ATF, MilitaryMarketPlace and all the For Sale sections of re-enactment/airsoft forums!

Best thing about this thread for me is how modest my purchases seem to be. Clearly I can't be an addict when I compare myself to others - which makes me a lot more comfortable when spending the cash!
