Cobrahistorian Posted February 27, 2009 Share #128 Posted February 27, 2009 Well holee crap, its Brian! Missed seeing you guys at the Gap this year. I spent all my time selling in the flea market. Jon Bernstein Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonesy Posted February 27, 2009 Share #129 Posted February 27, 2009 Rob, I wouldn't have won that award had you not nominated me for it. But it still doesn't beat your 'Most absent without official leave' award. Brian actually pronounces his name 'bwi-an', but yes, that's him in all his glory.

Cobrahistorian Posted February 27, 2009 Share #130 Posted February 27, 2009 Used to be actively engaged in the New England Living History scene from 98-2001. Grad school and then flight school kinda got in the way. Settled in Maryland almost 2 years ago and I'm finally getting back to the hobby. You're right, I should have said "howy cwap!"

RedLegGI Posted March 10, 2009 Share #133 Posted March 10, 2009 In the 83rd's camp after battle and at the depot that nite. Dennison, Oh '08 Have you revealed that during your entire military career, and reenacting for tha tmatter, you've never been awarded a GCM? Just look at his face, it tells the story! lol Oh the silly war days. Dent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Bone Posted March 10, 2009 Share #134 Posted March 10, 2009 Rob,You can always go with "BDUs and tennis shoes"! Don't laugh, I used black Converse High Tops on ops. I also had a few pair of Spanish Army Comando shoes stashed away. T-Bone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Bone Posted March 10, 2009 Share #135 Posted March 10, 2009 It is a theater made patch hence the weird color. Oh and I resent being called a Screaming Chicken....lmao. We do have terms like that for the Rock of the Marne Soldiers as well. But I won't go there since I was once too a Dog Face Soldier a long time ago, though I could tell you some things they did over here I don't approve of over beers one day! Heady More tales of latenight goat seduction and nefarious Camel molestations I bet. T-Bone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Bone Posted March 10, 2009 Share #136 Posted March 10, 2009 Looks like we have one already, see the Desert Storm impression earlier in the thread. There are also some guys down here doing Cold War. I have both East German and US kit for 1986-1990 stashed away. T-Bone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gliderflyboy Posted March 11, 2009 Share #137 Posted March 11, 2009 There are also some guys down here doing Cold War. I have both East German and US kit for 1986-1990 stashed away. T-Bone That stuff is great for alternate history. Like the invasion of East Germany and the Soviet Union by the US or vice-versa. Now there is a battle I would enjoy being a part of!

The Uniform consists of: ATF M1937 wool shirt, Tie and trousers ATF M1941 Jacket ATF Service Shoe, Reverse Uppers (Roughouts) ATF Helmet, M1 ATF M1923 Cartridge Belt Haversasck, M1928, (Original) First Aid pouch, M1924 Canteen Carrier M1910 w.

Corpl. Cleaver Posted March 23, 2009 Share #140 Posted March 23, 2009 Wayne, It's a good start, looks like you just got issued your stuff. But that will change with time and use. I would say drop the carbine bayonet, they wern't issued until realy late war, and since you have leggings and a M-41 jacket, I would say you are doing earlyer war. Boots look like they need to be water proofed, they should darken up to a nice dark brown. It's a great start, keep it up. Tyler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The boots have two coats of Kiwi Wet Proof on them, and haven't been worn much yet. I know with use everything will take on a better look... I've finally found a group in indiana to work with... G Co, 505th PIR 82nd ABN DIV(Pathfinders)... I should be getting my boots back from ATF any day now... I had to send them in for Eyelet repairs, and I'll post the pics of that Impression when I get them. I've been working on putting together some K Rations... I have the Repro boxes, and I'm getting the stuff together little by little. The hard part is getting the accessory packet stuff together, the Cereal bars (chewey granola), the biscuits (club crackers), Sugar block (Domino sugar cubes wrapped two rows of five), fruit bars (Nutri-grain fruit bars)... With the proper period references on the packaging, it'll look close... Not to mention I make my own D Rations... Wayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YankeeDiv26 Posted March 24, 2009 Share #142 Posted March 24, 2009 Okay I'll play. I apologize in advance for the crappy pictures, the camera never seems to catch me at events.

YankeeDiv26 Posted March 24, 2009 Share #143 Posted March 24, 2009 Fox 2/5 Marines, M60 Gunner 1968 *me being a skrewball in the parking lot before an event* Same thing, but with the M79 this time Part of our unit at an event. Same photo, but looks better in Greyscale IMO us in our bunker AFTER said event (which is why Mr. Charles is casually strolling behind us) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YankeeDiv26 Posted March 24, 2009 Share #144 Posted March 24, 2009 104th IR, 26ID B.A.R. Man. My first kit, a haphazard 82nd AB Pathfinder kit. That's most of the my kits anyway. -Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to lighten the pictures a little due to the shade from the overhang... so what you are seeing is a bit washed out. The boots do have a couple of coats of dubbing on them, and are a nice reddish brown. I know this will darken with use, and I hope to put some good use on them this summer along with my uniforms.

YankeeDiv26 Posted March 25, 2009 Share #147 Posted March 25, 2009 Paul, whats wrong? You can't pick apart my Vietnam kits (seriously man, I LIKE criticism/input!)

mpguy80/08 Posted March 31, 2009 Share #148 Posted March 31, 2009 One more Impression... 82nd Airborne, June 6th, 1944, Ste Mere Eglise, France. Thinking back, I should have gotten a picture of the back of this too to show the Musette bag and attached M1943 entrenching tool. Looking forward to breaking this one in as it will be my main impression I think. Let me know whay you think... Wayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
