Decided to get some photos of my senior NCO kit (Oberscharführer) before a milsim next weekend. Odds are I'll be using my mp40 but it's currently with a tech who's fixed it up for me.  Honestly even with full wool on under my camo it still didn't feel too warm surprisingly so I think I'll...

Managed to get a few photos of my platoon leader (feldwebel) kit for 2nd battalion, 7th company 125th regiment panzergrenadier kit 21 panzer division near Ranville on the edge of the Orne river on exercise spring 44. This company would be the one that's pushed away from Pegasus and Horsa bridge...

Been working on my feldwebel 2/Pz.Gren.Rgt.125 for the winter of 44-45 mainly operation wacht em Rhine and Nordwind. Decided to give my a-frame another go set up with zeltbahn and blanket instead of my pack.  Hope you guys like it and I've got my winter 44 wacht em Rhine windhund impression to ...

Finally decided to photograph my feldwebel Pz.Gren.Rgt.125 kit for winter 44. So this is for the period of operation wacht em Rhine and operation Nordwind under the command of Hans Von Luck. If only I had snow instead of bleak cold rain and mud lol. Hope you guys like it. 

Some fun images I did in my kit this evening, hope you enjoy as much as I did being a big kid playing pretend soldiers ?  Unterscharführer Zimmermann signals to his section to hold position while he checks the next set of hedgerows with his dienglas for enemy movement. When the time is right he...

If you get the tnt upgraded s&t k98k it's a very competitive platform compared to say an ssg 10 and guys in my group use them as such when at 500 FPS. Having tried both side by side I feel the k98k has the edge but lacks any real scope options but if your eyesight is good you will be fine...

Yeah braces are a must for pretty much any WWII kit. Personally I use retro looking braces as braces weren't issued and were only ever made at a regimental or company level with the Germans so you see a huge mix and not a uniform mix of braces in use especially late war 43-45. ...

Decided to do an aged photo to try and look more like a reference photo. Hopefully it's worked. 

Decided to try and make my kit photo look like it was taken in 1940's. Hopefully that's come across in find edit ?

I'll have to do some more hunting or I may just convert a AGM sten into a Mk5 to be honest.  Been working on my unterscharführer 4/Pz.Gren.Rgt.19 kit for Normandy and Arnhem. Just need to buy a wool tunic for the kit now. Love how effective erbsenmuster is especially with a mosquito net on you...

Wait the Mk5 is out?!? ? Hmmm I may have to go hunt one down but I'll look more into their performance if that's the case. 

Personally I would wait for the s&t Lee Enfield over the g&g any day of the year. All the g&g WWII guns other than the mg42 have all been a bit lack luster and mostly a bit useless so far from my experience. For example, the k98k is kind of crap especially compared to the s&t...

Yeah it also depends on your hight and waist too with them as if you've got a small waist and are tall they often don't fit so you have to tie them around your ankle like some of the guys in my group. Have you got any braces for your trousers yet as they are a game changer for keeping your...

If your interested in WWII events definitely look at the most common factions for events as you are in squads according to your kit. So Heer grenadier/panzergrenadier, Luftwaffe field division/fallschirmjäger and SS or say British para, US airborne or US infantry ect.  There is a movement to...
