Hello (again)

I guess I'm back

Nilz, born in 1974, from Amsterdam, hi I put the whole of my airsoft hobby on ice a while ago, due to a lack of motivation since my best friend (who used to be Derbyshire / Yorkshire based) moved to Australia, which left me without a homebase for my airsoft trips.

Clearing out the storage space upstairs recently to make space for 2 of my bicycles I could not help but notice the vast amount of kit I have still left. I've decided to get rid of practically everything, bar one set of fairly basic modern (probably Marine Infantry), my near complete set of 1970's/80's Dutch olive greens and my yet to complete Fallschirmjager. Budget will be tight for a while, as the wife lost her job recently. I'll use whatever I make selling the modern kit to help fund the completion of my FJ kit.

Not yet sure whether I will end up using it for WW2 Airsoft in the UK, re-enactment locally or perhaps both. TBH, when I look at re-enactment boards, they seem to take themselves a bit too serious on average, so there's a good chance I will end up finding a way to play airsoft in the UK again. I do read a lot of stuff on panzergrenadier.net (though I could never get an account authorized there for some reason).

My FJ kit as it stands:
- mouse grey service shirt from Epic
- jump trousers from Epic
- LW wool M43 from Epic
- brown belt and buckle from Epic
- brown leather Y-straps from Underwood
- post war mess tins (don't remember where from, I believe Epic)
- Splinter B jump smock from Spearhead
- tan scarf from some sample sale the Mrs. dragged me off to
- an old pair of black Dr. Marten's (mere placeholders, just the best I can do with what I have right now)
- a pair of unknown gamaschen. green canvas, brown leather straps...from the condition of the canvas they seem period at the least.
- some breadbag (cheap and cheerful, but a fairly nasty blueish green colour - I'll replace it down the line)
- Esbit stove (post-war, but with Esbit logo)

Next purchase will be a helmet (I'm going Deepeeka shell and Spearhead liner), boots, Fliegerbluse (in that order), keeping an eye out for some second hand items that pop up.
