Thanks mate. All the ones on ebay get a huge amount of interest and end up going for 60-odd quid which seems high to me for something which is not especially rare yet.

Thats one of the best pictures of a German infantryman I've seen posted on here.
Does it not look just like you would expect? It pushes all the buttons and gets the 'It's a German' bells ringing.
No bling, no poncy affectations just a landser ready to do his duty in the kit he was issued.
If you are going to stand guard duty, you might want to find a pair of grey woollen gloves, keep the pinkies warm. There are [expensive] repro but plain grey 'comforts' from home style will do you fine.
well done

Thanks guys.

I'm particularly pleased with the K98 that is no longer bright yellow, the boots that have been through the Kermit school of leather curing, and also the pot - which I've rough textured, painted and "distressed" all by meself :D The pouches also need a bit of boot black or something as the white stitching is too box-fresh for my taste. For belt order I'm thinking: bayonet, gas mask tin, breadbag, water bottle and Kochgeschirr (maybe)? Definitely a pair of grey wool gloves too.

It was sold as WWII repro M36 - £40 from Ebay. I've not made any modifications to it.

Very nice. That is exactly the German kit I want to get when I get around to getting one.

And I agree with Yith, that is just perfect for shooting at.

:good:
