One of my WWII Impressions. My Grandfather was a Seabee so I did one out of respect for him. The knife is his personal Kabar with a Plexiglas handle and a skull breaker end cap.

Hi USMC_COLLECTOR,

 

I flipped your photos so the USMC logo reads on the correct side . . . . 

 

good luck and enjoy your collecting.

Hi Porter,

 

a pleasure I could see the effort you had made with your impression.  Without wishing to criticise try and get a friend or family to take the images then you wouldn't be holding the cell phone yourself.

Disregard the first set of photos. Here’s a better set and a better job.

This is my Naval Seabee impression for around 1944. Wish I had a bulldozer to go with it.

Hi porter,

 

great a nice set of photo's much nicer without the cell-phone evident.  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.

Hi Johan,

 

haven't seen Sparky for years as life moved in different directions for both of us.

A friend found this photo and text on the internet and sent to me and I post it here in the hope that one of the ' nurses ' is a member of the forum and can provide us with more details of their group and displays. This is real dedication to the memory of the nurses they portray.

Took this photo of Alan Dark in Tienen, Belgium, September 2004

Ahhaaa Alan Dark or Darkly Strange as we called him, he used to do a wonderful fully naked version of the Crazy-Frog song that made the charts in 2003, wearing only an old motorcycle helmet and goggles . . . . . . .

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?

1982. This was taken for an article on our local newspaper.  I’m the guy on the left setting on the Jeep bumper……Jeep is a ‘42 GPW. Four of us in the pic would go on to serve in the 29th ID.

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.
