Looks good

I think I will be buying the 3kg tin and 1kg ones from from Edelweiss Militaria
The have a good rap so I heard but wont be for another 2-3 months
The fit well into your side pouches and pack

I just purchased a 3kg Tin and 2 1kg tins
They are smaller than I expected. Especially the 3Kg tin as I thought would go in your assault Pack as a tight fit but its only about 1/2 the size I thought it would be..
I will need to purchase fuses next.
I will put up a pic soon

I was hoping someone with alot more Pionier knowledge would post up
Im sure there are a few Ex Pionier Reenactors Still on the forum.

Any information on the Demolition tins would be e very useful

What are the measurements of the repro tins that you bought? The originals were sized as follows:
- 1kg charge: 5.5 x 7.5 x 20 cm
- 3kg charge: 16.5 x 7.5 x 20 cm

(memory serving)

On the topic of repro charges, has anyone every seen the 3kg Kugel charge? Orb with 16cm diameter, with a canvas carrying/throwing handle and a fuze spout on the one side (looks almost like a kettle spout). They were apparently to be used for tossing into bunkers through firing slits, but the field-lashed 3kg pole charges were apparently more common.

I just flew back to work today so I wont be back until next monday so I will measure the tins then


Bunker Busters?

Keystone Arsenal has WW2 Replica Explosives have a browse. I will be purchasing more off them soon

Here is the start of my Tellermine 42. This is a "model" from which I will make a mould. They then will be cast as a resin shell and filled with expanding foam.
This is the deluxe version, it will have a screw off fuse cap, base plate fuse holes and filler caps, handle etc.
Available also will be the wooden transit crate or the 4 mine carry box.

Looking good Sarge.Coming along nicely

Cant wait for mine. excuse the Pun lol
Add a carry case for mine too thanks

A little more progress today.
Fuse cap, carry handle and the base plate with filler ports and screw hole for the trip detonator.

looking good

Ok, here it is, the finished model.
Just need to pull it all to bits and make some moulds now.

Hi there

Many thanks

His still working with the moulds so he wont know for a few more weeks .
Its from Australia so you shipping will be very high

I am still working on the moulds for it as funds become available. It'll be a few weeks yet.
I'll be selling these for $160AU or $200 with the transit case.
Also available will be a 4 mine carry box.

A somewhat cheaper alternative, made from a VW Polo's brake disc

New project.
The Tellermine 42 (in green) along side it's big brother the Tellermine 43 (in yellow)
Just another coat of paint, the stencilling and a protective coat of matt varnish to go.

I found THIS replica online. I am hoping that he will sell to Australia.
For an all metal reproduction of this quality it'll be worth the expense as these are IMPOSSIBLE to get in OZ.
