...today I ordered the custom-made guitar that I've been dreaming about.
You deserve it.

Because I'm worth it.

Today I found out that Shoot and Scoot rubber Garand bayonets fit ICS Garands perfectly.

thats good to know
Took a proper milling bit to the sight on my K98. It's working, but slowly.
Found another k98 bolt and stock I forgot I had!
Recovering from my trip to London, started drawing up blueprints for some metal mag release catches for my K98 and a shotgun mag locating sleeve to fit in the magwell on my Garand
Experienced the core of being in the infantry: dug foxholes in the red clay of Africa...

Supervision is a an important role!
Had a bit of a clearout of my kit cupboard, found a good few things to list in the for sale section. Also managed to buy a load of stuff online!
Got messed about trying to buy a P38, they've got till tomorrow to refund me then it's the banks issue.
I finally got an answer from an Aussie re-enactor regarding which colours of Blanco are suitable for an Aussie impression. I may have to get a 2nd set of webbing so I can have 1 set blanco'd and leave the other plain. Apparently the Aussies didn't use blanco. I know that they had blanco and made their own but it was deemed a waste of water in the desert and a waste of time in the jungle (where it would just wash out).
Surely in the desert it should be scrubbed? In Commando comic Aussie desert webbing usually appeared to be scrubbed white:)
A spare set or three of webbing rarely goes amiss.

Going to my probably last student cruise, also probably my last student event before I graduate. Bittersweet.
Why do you always carry that umbrella?
-Bad memory. Never could remember the password. Knew no Jerry would carry one. Had to prove I was an Englishman, you see.
A bridge too far
Put the transfers on my FJ helmet and weathered them in. Also spent a while sewing my cap insignia and chest eagle onto my uniform.
Went to Soldier of fortune and spent a fortune on a set of kit! Well worth it. The denision smock is superb....

Sorted all my gear out for D-Day next week.

Went to the Imperial War Museum and marvelled at how spending £40m can result in a building and collection ten times worse than before the revamp. Awful.
