2nd AIF (2nd world war Aussie). Australian Imperial Force is an organisation created separately from the normal army (militia). The Australian Army was not allowed to operate outside Australian Territory by the constitution. The AIF was not the army so it was not bound by this rule but had to be entirely formed of volunteers. 1st 2 pics are early war. A mix of WW1 Australian gear and British gear. This is based upon pictures of Aussies during the early Libya campaigns Late war (jungle). By now the Aussies are working with Americans so you see American influences such as the lace up gaiters and I am using US HBT trousers, which the Aussies are known to have managed to obtain.

Still needs tweaking etc... but my S.T.A.L.K.E.R loadout is pretty much complete

To be honest your far more prepared for your first game than anyone else I've ever seen, better equipped than many regulars too

Planning a trip to Ukraine anytime soon Tal? Wouldn't look out of place!

Lovely, Russe11, just lovely. Here's my latest acquisition: It's to add to the arsenal available to... ...Maiya Pavlenka

Cheers guys, gonna order both. YOLO..... Lol

personally the madbull, because it should increase accuracy as well, whereas the spring will just increase FPS.

I spy an Anubis... Jealous!

I believe he is a troll, I think he posted something like this on another thread.

Going to try and get down to Hobby Craft and buy a diorama board and some foilage.

That's some nice work guys the ship looks like it will be an interesting model once done. Here's some of mine: Erik the unimpressed Viking Norman dude: Tiny dudes: Some more pics in the gallery here: http://www.dakkadakka.com/core/gallery-user.jsp?u=46025

Damn Ian, I thought you bought an actual SVD there until you showed it against secret agent Mia

Here I am at last, nearly ready for my first game. What am I missing? Apart from a pistol? I've got ammo, rifle, eye protection, hydration, med kit, iPhone playing 'Ride of the Valkyries' on repeat through low-profile ear peice, monocular, spare gloves and shemagh.

Enjoyed making this so suppose I'm going to be adding modeling to the list.

Right Lads, discuss models you're working on, share pictures, plans, dioramas, places to buy, brands of model and paint, even war gaming models such as those in Bolt action and Flames of War. All of it goes here. Enjoy This is my first model, will shortly begin work on a Normandy diorama in 1/35 or 1/72 I am undecided thus far. I like the look of Italeri and Taimya models and paint, so willl likely go for them. Also considering buying a Bolt Action rule book (I like the look of the game but I'm not going to use their models) and perhaps get a friend to play against me (May give my diorama an alternate purpose)

just had the last of the two lancaster bombers fly over my work with a spitfire and hurricane flaking their wings!!! got a video that ill try and post later

I used to do that when I was your age James, I had the D day anniversary set by airfix (bought it three times in total as each time I finished it someone stomped all over it) And I'd get frustrated halfway through a half track and be like f*ck this im doing a landing craft lol. Now I get too engrossed in things, I spent the whole day pretty much doing that tank, didn't move from my chair except maybe 5 times!

Always come prepared!!! I had always assumed that these items were essentials, perhaps not the iPhone but I can imagine humming 'Ride of the Valkyries' and having to concentrate on fighting a battle at the same time could get exhausting!!!

So yeah... here's a few of the ones awaiting build (plus a few that are finished)

I'm so impatient haha. I'd of probably already filed a complaint

If you want to get into 1/35th scale modelling then there worth it as the extra detail really helps but for 1/72nd scale, unless you go for metal miniatures there is little difference between the quality of manufactures.The exception being Ceaser Miniatures plastics.

That was just a garden bench with a green grass effect cloth on it. Each one of the guys in that picture are 6mm tall form feet to eyes.

Wow, that looks amazing! I've only done planes and ships but holy crap that looks fantastic!

I should post this in DIY, but Whatever. This is some unknown Soviet,Ukrainian,East German,maybe even Czech leather holster. I have no Idea,too big for a Makarov,too wide for a TT33. Only really hold M9s and Hicapas well. The leather on it is really nice,bit soft and floppy but stiffer in the lower sections. Plan to boil it later. Originally the leather clip to retain the piston was pretty crappy. So I got rid of it. It had another strap and clip which was pretty useless hanging from the bottom so I cut that off and stuck it on the main body,currently temporarily glued on. It had the usually sh*tty belt loop which sat too high and got weaker from age. When a pistol was placed in the whole holster sagged and flopped around. So I got rid of that,punched four holes in,and use paracord to secure it to ALICE webbing holes. Sits nice and low so the weight does not make it sag to the side and does not wobble. Also bent the lower piece seen in pic 1 so that it catches the trigger guard,if it goes in fully into the holster the pistol usually flops around inside a bit,especially thinner guns like 1911s. So I bent it to add some tension and hold better. Yet to use in a skrim but I'm confident it will be a big improvement over the original. Rig is a little scant at the moment since I'm waiting on some pouches along with the rest of my kit from Ukraine. I sort of have an idea in my head to carve out the basic shape of a hicapa(My planned next gun) and stick it in when the holster is being boiled to make it a medieval Serpa or something. Right now it's grand though.

Does this work?

I've just picked up a tan paca, the correct one for fr. Funnily enough it's the only tan one I've seen for sale in the uk, unless I've been under a rock somewhere. Looks like I can begin to clear out the multicam and the ranger green paca in favor of tan goodies and marpat

If the OP acquires an IF and after a couple of skirmishes resprays it (or cleans off the paint) and has the discretion not to go bragging about it then I don't think anybody would be too interested. I think it would only become a problem to some people if somebody did remove the paint / respray and technically manufacture a RIF and then went bragging about it to anybody who would listen. *Edit* Just re-reading the Violent Crime Reduction Act 2006 and Sec 40 refers to an amendment to the Firearms Act 1968 Sec 24 making it an offence for a minor (person under 18 years of age) to be sold or to buy an imitation firearm, but makes no mention of gifting an imitation firearm to a minor. So, my interpretation is as a minor you cannot buy an IF (even a bright green one) but you can have one gifted to you.

New toy today, but spare mags still out of stock.

WE E17 GEN 4, extended mag and predator ultra gas

Or it illustrates the fact they actually follow the track record of a developer. Bad ports, invasive/broken DRM and a history of faking gameplay videos. Why yes of course i'll buy Ubisoft games.

The replica tourniquet is obviously just a bit of dress up kit, if someone's got an arterial bleed then using a replica on them is probably better than nothing... but still not really appropriate, belt or sling would be better Current doctrine is 2" above the wound, or above the joint if there's one in between. If you can't tell where the wound is, or the trauma is so significant the artery could be smashed up inside, go to the base of the limb, couple of inches below the groin or armpit (though this will be less effective at stopping the bleeding and carries greater risk of unnecessary damage to the limb). Fit the tourniquet, wind on the windlass til the patient stops leaking and mark it with the time of application. Haemostatic agents then get deployed en masse to to block up any residual bleed since even the tightest tourniquet isn't going to be 100% effective. That said, if you're applying a CAT to someone at an airsoft game then shit has hit the fan MASSIVELY and that person is lucky you had one on you!

SIG P228 - for my FBI kit, it's carried in a right-handed IMI holster on my belt, on my left hip. (I'm more comfortable with a cross-draw than a left-handed holster). Spare mags are either in a pouch on my right hip, or, if I'm wearing it, held in the in-built mag pouches on my (blue FBI/cop) ballistic vest. For my Army and PMC kits - it depends on what else I'm using. Normally belt-mounted, but occasionally drop-leg. Never worn on my plate carrier, as I find it uncomfortable. Walther PPK and P99 both have custom made brown and black leather shoulder/armpit holsters. Pistol goes on the left, 2 spare magazines on the right. Made by a family friend who is a leather worker. (Normally does work for historical reenactors and museums). Tailored to fit me, and to hide under a suit/dinner jacket. Incredibly comfortable. A lot better than many of the shoulder holsters which are available to buy in stores.

I would personally advise against carrying an epi-pen. Whilst it has been agreed by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) that a First Aider can administer adrenaline via an auto injector device (epi-pen) in-line with the Section 7 of the Prescription Only Medicines (Human Use) Order 1997 you cannot legally obtain such devices as they are Prescription Only Medicines. The guidance is there to cover a first aider when administering a patient's own epi-pen. I would also advise against using glue to close wounds as well - glue is used as a semi-permanent to permanent wound closure and as such you would need to ensure the wound is completely clean before the wound is closed. Glueing will only close small wounds and you would be better off using other methods such as direct pressure for a time and a covering (such as a non-adherent dressing) and advising the person to go visit a walk-in centre to get it looked at.

Combat tourniquets (as the Combat Application Tourniquet - CAT is one such device) do have relevance in the realm of pre-hospital care for the rapid arrest of catastrophic haemorrhage, and the standard approach to any trauma patient is now <C>ABC where <C> is Catastrophic Haemorrhage. However, this is assuming the responder is trained appropriately and has the right equipment with them and can identify what is a catastrophic haemorrhage. As Mr Monkey Nuts pointed out there are complications, but evidence has suggested they are not as severe as once thought and most evidence regarding tourniquet complications are not from the use of the combat tourniquet but from the use of pressure tourniquets in theatre. In fact, there has been one reported case of a combat tourniquet being in situ for 16 hours with the patient regaining almost full function of their limb. If you are interested in a little bit of light reading regarding tourniquets this is quite good: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2660095/ I am always cautious when saying a particular injury won't occur in a particular environment as there will always be that one exception... it is easier to deal with what the most common injuries are rather than complicating it with the "what ifs".

Well we had some red arrows fly over, and I believe a spitfire (not sure about lancasters, will ask my dad) I went to farnborough last year and there was a mass of old fighters and everything including the new jets. It was jaw dropping for even a non plane spotter person (I understand a lancaster is different though )

This. Every damn game. I swear on one day every swinging dick and his dog was aiming for the squishy bit of belly between my chest rig and my battle belt. Came home looking like a slab of corned beef

obviously shoptonet don't give a fvck http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PS4-Destiny-Hard-Bundle-/380979972572 under £320 inc delivery for ps4 or xbone BUT like I said in my experience ASDA are brilliant customer service if things go pear shape even as I bought from Asda online with paypal they took back my BLOD PS4 and refunded me back to my paypal account without any fuss what so ever so Mr B - I think you made a wise choice going with Asda as I speak from experience I'm sure you will have much better luck than me - hopefully both nex-gen are ironing out some bugs by now I love/hate both companies btw - and we need them both to succeed - if not then one will totally dominate and that would be bad for us the consumers in the end. But what do I know, as I have only been playing games for oooh uhm 40 years or so - way way before Atari came along with 2600 and Activision was just some tiny pi$$ pot 3rd party trying to make Freeway for it

When you are wearing that Loadout do you turn up in this car

I think Monty has said what we were all thinking

Nah, you're talking about the Tory Party Collectors Edition - did you know each copy is washed in childrens' tears!?

Sucks to be you then, as our faulty return rate for PS4 consoles is about 6% (Usually the rubber coming off the joysticks), compared to nearly 40% on Xbox Ones (The slightly more serious disc drive or severe overheating failures) - The Xbox's are just badly manufactured.

Hold F8 when the PC starts to boot (make sure before the windows logo appears). Failing that just pull the power and next time you boot it'll ask you how you want to boot as there was an issue last time.. this is a bit more risky cos something else could go wrong with the premature shutdown, but not had anything bad happen to me yet..

how much of this stuff wa nicked ??? I will ask at my local - probaly the local arms dealer had something to do with it - Nobby the Nuke-Man sounds like b0ll0cks though like most of the stuff I type gonna ring a tip-off line tell them some chubby bastid in Twickenham was offering some FANTASTIC genuine US loadout gear

This has got to be total bollocks. If it's not, then I'm going to break into RAF Lakenheath myself, and steal all the American's shit; then it's just a case of waiting for them to offer a reward for its return, which will be 10 times more lucrative than selling any of it. Sounds like pretty easy money. 'Cos breaking into Lakenheath will obviously be a piece of piss...

Bloody Americans, the theft is in the UK, they are obviously investigating in the UK, why then is the reward in US$??
