Wow man,very cool..it's amazing that 80 years later that phone still works,and will probably out last all iPhones now in service lol. That's quite a setup

Again,sorry for the delay Kamerad..I took a bunch of photos,I'm hoping you can get a idea of the colors,the lighting in my room isn't the greatest..as far as I know,SMW is the only company making blurred edge zelts,and your not going to find ones built better than these. Good thick material,the dish...

Sorry splinter A! Been a busy cat and sidetracked by the helmet project I'll get pics up today,promise!

Thank you,and thank you for your help! Your post on paints and colors will be helpful in the future when I do field modifications to this helmet. The only thing left to do to this one is paint a white patch on the front,and a red cross because I'm portraying a Sanitätor.

http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q4/Demonskates/IMAG0109-1.jpg I used 1944 militaria's M40-M42 Feldgrau dunkel. It's as you describe,dark grayish green..and it's a matte finish, I went with single decal..they only did double decal for such a short time in 1940 I figured it more probable to receiv...

Liked the look of this when I finnished painting it I decided to leave it as is and let it get banged up naturally at events.
M40 single decal. My first helmet

Awesome..thank you!

In the U.S. people sometimes get uptight over this stuff. In the state I'm from there is only Grossdeutchland and Totenkopf for axis re-enacting groups. One heer and one SS unit,in the whole state. But if you go south it's far more common. Re-enactment is big down there. I've had mixed reactions fro...

Good grief. Be glad you didn't have that pink primer! The grey paint over it was so thick I had to use a razor to get it off..the primer was a bit easier,for that I used 150 grit sand paper and a mouse sander..stripped and ready for paint. Paint,splitpins decals and liner arrive tommorow. http://i13...

Hi guys,trying to brush up on paints ..no pun intended.. can someone explain what RAL means or stands for,and,is this a British paint code system,or does this exsist in the U.S. as well? I can just picture Homedepo looking at me like I got four heads..lol.

That's a sharp crusher. I like the leather bill on those,with no edge like you see on some. I haven't been able to find one with blue waffenfarb

I made mine. The band is complete,just need to do the cross but haven't had the time..I've seen a lot of pics where field made appear to be the case.

No vests,but a couple cool armbands. http://m.ebay.com/search?kw=WW2+german+medic+armbands&isNewKw=1&so=12&pgn=1&epp=24&fads=1&mfs=SBCLK&acimp=0&itemId=&cnm=&cid=&sqp=WW2+german+medic+armbands&_trksid=p2053742.m2428.l1313.TR0.TRC0.XWW2+german+medic+arm...

I was gonna say Hikishop,but it looks like they out of them. If I find any I'll post.

I'll post as I go. Got the stuff coming from 3 places. The M31 liner is from IMA-USA,the split pins and decals from At the front(IMA's split pins have an odd raised rim around the edge and look off so I avoided it) and the paint I ordered from 1944 Militaria.(M40 feld dunkel) This is the part in my ...
