Spent a hectic evening assembling my Russian stuff for next weekend as it was all rather last minute. Found time to practice putting on my puttees again.
Guns tonight. Food tomorrow. Camping gear on Thursday.

Yes, they do look really effective! You guys are good prop builders (and, but the looks of it, good at photo shoots too!).
