MichaelDecker Posted December 23, 2012 Share #1 Posted December 23, 2012 I thought that since winter is here, and We're in the middle of the anniversary of the Ardennes offensive that it might be fun for people to post pictures of there Ardennes / Battle of the Bulge impressions / displays. I'll post pictures of mine tommorow when my camera is charged. - Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MichaelDecker Posted December 28, 2012 Author Share #8 Posted December 28, 2012 I've been reenacting for 6 years, but I'm pretty new to WW2. The Steel pot is one that I repainted.. I need to get cork paint. I stripped off about 8 coats off paint, but It was only ten bucks so not too bad. The glasses were the best I could do for now since I only have civil war glasses.. and the M1 is a prop I built.. It looks pretty good for now.. I had a few people ask me if I was old enough to field with a weapon when carrying it so until I get the money I think it'll have to work. I usually field as a medic. Thanks, Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patches Posted December 28, 2012 Share #9 Posted December 28, 2012 Understood, maybe the Civil War period glasses can SUB for WWII in a pinch. That M1, you did a very decent job scratch building it, I for one thought it was a 40s-50s Army training aid type weapon. Since your new to WWII collecting and all, you can sink your teeth in to this topic, all 37 pages of it, you will see and learn alot from this one hugh topic, also I recommend just going through all the pertinant topics here in this Reenacting Forum as well as the others Uniforms, Field Equipment, even the Photos Forum can be of help when you least expect it, in due course you will get the range. http://www.usmilitariaforum.com/forums/index.php?/topic/22029-lets-see-your-impressions/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
