If I go to the D Day event I will be standing in the German bunker watching the beach with my Zeiss 8x50 binoculars saying "Mein Gott, sein die Invasion"

A pic of me at my last skirmish. Not wearing roughouts, as I didn't have them at this point.[/img]
Where's the blue egg of mantumbi?! 
Haha, luckily, the blue egg was 'out of shot'.
Looks great Kavster, now get rolling around in some mud soldier and get that kit muddied up

Yeah, word to that, looks a bit crisp. It was the first time I'd worn it that day, and it might be a few weeks before I wear it again, as I split my pants jumping for cover the first time I got shot at! Tom has a pic of the famous 'blue egg'...
The other guy in the pic is Blood Clot, a regular at that site with his brother-in-law, George. He's from Glasgow, but George is down south, and they go all around the country playing airsoft, so I wouldn't be surprised if you know him. Top blokes, too.
I split my mustard pants the 1st time i wore them too, are they SOF 1s? The stitching in the crotch is diabolical, I asked my mum's friend to do them properly and now they're fine.
Got it in one, mate! I'm taking them the tailors this week, hopefully, with some extra material and asking if he can reinforce them.

Ice flow, nowhere to go,
Ice flow, nowhere to go,
Lost in the blinding whiteness of the tundra-
check him out.
They call him the shrew,
Arm's in shock, Live with the claw-
I'm little Johnny Frosbite,
moving around,
freezing you up, freezing you down,
Like and icicle,
Comin in your tent in the big blight scissor bite,
Arctic death, Infinite night,
They call me Tundra Boy because I move like and Arctic Lizard,
When the blizzard strikes I disappear,
Like a white dream,
All that's left is a gleam,
Boosh, boosh, stronger than a moose,
don't lock your door or we'll come through your roof top,
Stop or I'll take your mind off the flow,
because the Boosh is loose and we're a little bit cold,
Ice flow, nowhere to go,
Ice flow, nowhere to go,
Lost in the blinding whiteness of the tundra
The best episode of Mighty Boosh... Ever!
Nope -The Priest and the Beast is the best ! Although Bollo comes a close second .
IMHO
Hmm, we are bongo Brothers ....
Somewhere in Burma a chindit sections bren gun team lays down a base of fire while the rifle group hidden by the jungle advance....
They continue to supress the enemy but soon need a mag change....

Well as promised here they are pics of my priety much finished US infantry kit, fully loaded for D-Day lol
sorry about the lighting it's getting dark outside lol anny comments welcome.
Looks good, of course its how comfortable it is when you wear it...
But the straps on your doughboy (i found) is more comfortable if you link the 2 outter straps at the front with the 'O' ring in the middle of the pack, so it creates the loops for your arms to go through, then the little leather band at the base of the pack is where your belt goes through.
Like that,.... otherwise, nice looking gear!
Starting to look like a GI!
Hang the doughboy pack a little higher and Webby's suggestion to turn it into a backpack is a good one too. It helped the GIs to take it off quicker when necessary.
