Hello forum

I'm woodlander..... both here and on a few other forums such as wwiireenacting and arnies.

Have been an airsofter and WW2 re-enactor for a few years though have yet to combine the two.

Have a passion for the Glider Pilot Regiment and in particular their operations in NWE 1944/45 ..... if you want to know more please look at the website I run: http://www.totalsoldiers.org.uk

Weapons-wise, my only period piece is a Western Arms M1911A1 .... I have a TM M14 wood effect which I might have a go at converting to something more appropriate ..... got to give that more thought tho.

Cheers

Welcome to CiA.

As said via PM we could do wiht a pilot to get our south staffs on target and it's always good to have more brits!

Welcome, Woodlander. What you'll notice here is that you won't be looked down upon if you don't have everything exactly right. Quite a few people have M14s as a Garand equivalent (how much money would someone make if they released an AEG Garand?!).

There are a few other reenactors on here too, so we look to you guys for kit advice - but the combination of WW2 and airsoft is great!
