Looks good to me. I wouldn't bother with the gloves though - generally only officers wore leather gloves. If you really want gloves, grey wool ones would be best.-- attachment is not available --



You've got nothing to ein, zwei, drei, vier

I more often than not wear gloves with everything for comfort, but will keep that in mind (they'd be more for cold days anyway n not getting shot in the fingers X3)

Aye for now I'm going for the basics to make it usable, then build up on it. I only make £50 a week I can spenddue to unemployment maintime, n my volenteer work at swwg is, obviousely, unpaid hehe.

Breadbag, entrenching tool n all that will come once my compo comes through :D

Sounds good :good:

Jackboots are definitely the way forward. Mine are the most comfortable boots I own and have been since day 1.

Does the cap come with an eagle?

negative as they didnt have a plain eagle, only the eagle with wreath, or SS cap insignia, but I can get one cheap enough no doubt.

Though till I get my jackboots, I do have knee high leather boots I "Could" use.. allthough the shins are steel plated ^^;;

Thanks :3 hopefully I'll have my full kit and a weapon by then, but if I dont, they'll be handy to use with my normal boots to try n make them a lil more authentic looking
