Its all out there, if you want to be a reenactor

I went surfing for German and American ww2 uniforms and field gear, and believe me its all out there . Its cheaper than it ever was . just go to ebay and look under German Helmets, German, or US Army uniform s there are tunic sets with jacket and pants for $150,
Real German Helmets for 70$ all kinds of acoutrements, like Wephaus suspenders for 6.95 US HBT, Boots, Jackets usw. you can get kitted out for reasonable prices. so if you are worried, confused, dejected, cheer up. its all good.

 

Computer as reenactor gear

Really haveing a PC is just about essential of you want to find stuff or stay in touch with the reenactment community. there are lists on yahoo groups for the big four US UK Red Army and Wehrmacht go there and join, there are also forums like this one and others. Join them









and get in yahoo chat or something to stay in real time chat with fellow reenactors

 

heres a for instance or zum beispiel

www.reenactor.net this is a good place to start. after that their links will lead you to whatever you are most interested in. I like all the sites but tanks in ww2 is my fav. people treat you right here

 

cooler weather

yes its gettting cooler which means you can wear your uniform without getting it all sweaty. today the bikers were in town and I was wishing I had a BMW 750 with a side car and an MG 34 mounted and ride around with full uniform lol :lol:

pix of the backbone

they are there and very welcome too.I havent seen anyones pix in so long its depressing so thanks for a peek at how the other side plays. Hot Springs is inundated with motorcycles this week end but so far no military ones have been seen by this fan. They have just taken over in incredible variety and diversity mostly they are Harley Davidsons, but a few rice burners snuck in with them.

 

Austin's coup

he showed up at the meeting with fab M36 Uniform, one of the tunic sets(pants included) from China. well done and affordable($150) see I told Ya, Austin Sublett continues to be the wonderment of the unit, recruited at the Lions Club gun show- he is on the ball

 

:bang:
I thought those german uniforms on ebay are great. If you want to get a german uniform cheap and good stuff that is the place.

What's the difficulty in getting a replica (real preferably ) WWII era submachine gun, speacifcally a MP-40 or Sten?

Yeah, scare the s**t out of the Hell's Angels wannabes! :lol:

 

You wanna hear about a deal? A 101st guy, who used to reenact the ACW told me of a guy in his outfit who went to an estate sale. He purchased a trunk, which looked to have some old papers, and miscellaneous junk in it. Nothing fancy, or so he thought. When he got home, and emptied the trunk, he found something interesting.

An entire cavalry (or was it Dragoons?) uniform, head to toe!!! Apparently, the guy came home from the war, and put it away for safekeeping, and it was forgotten about.

Oh, yeah, you're probably interested in the price. Are you seated? How's $150 sound?????

Every so often, somebody gets lucky. Won't ever be me, though!
