Took the liberty of knocking the color back on your last image thought it aged the image a little . . . . . . Back in the 1980's friends and myself were heavily into military vehicles and collecting US uniforms and equipment so each year we would do displays at show-grounds, here's a few of when we also did Sea-Bees, Navy & Marines. For the Sea-Bees and Navy displays we would ship in 20 ton of sand to have a ' beach ', we also hired palm trees, all the rest of the uniforms, vehicles and equipment we all contributed from our collections. . . keep enjoying your hobby and collecting, regards lewis. ..

Your local M1 Garand Posted September 15, 2022 Share #1146 Posted September 15, 2022 If I were to post my impressions here, should I keep it on a mannequin and take the photos, or take it off, put and on and do a photo shoot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi M1, I would say that most of the thread is of personal impressions rather than on a mannequin, so if it fits wear it for the photos, put it back on the mannequin display afterwards . . . . as mentioned a few posts above get someone else to take the photos, don't take a selfie. Look forward to seeing what you have. regards lewis. .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
