Hear hear! Looking most excellent there Mauser! (ya know, it occurs to me that perhaps a name change is in order since you have left 'the dark side' and are now full-on pursuing an amazing Allied impression ;D ) How about "DakotaC47"

Great choice of background, great stance- I'd love to have heard the conversation between you and the photographer- "There is this jerk on the WW2AA boards that doesn't like the pictures you took" "What??? why that little &^%$@#!....I'll show him!" Couldn't be more impressed 29th- Well done troop. (and especially Mom or whoever the photographer is keep it up ) -G

Well, I havn't posted my impression in awhile, and since I just recieved one of 2nd Bats AEG garands, I thought it high time to put out some new ones. Guiness, I did my best to cover any background items. Someare bolted into the wall, however, so I couldn't change that. If these are deemed "un stich knot-see" then please move them into the "I'm workin" thread! Thanks! Russian Enjoying a break with a shot up Kraut helmet on my knee My Garand load out In case we ever get to do that winter game....*wink wink Capt Zak* just kidding around... Thanks for tearing my impression mercilesly with your comments in advance!

I'm not a big fan of the woodland camo, but its the effort that counts! I love the ammo belt! It's kidna out of place, but still awesome!

Thanks for the fast comment. Yea, the woodland camo is just to cover up my walls until I can get outside to do some better shots.

Outstanding Mango!
Once again you have proven yourself to be the pinnacle of research and historical accuracy.
Since I can't find anything majorly wrong..... Is that electrical tape you've got your straps taped down with? You might want to pick up some more historicly correct friction tape. I know they sell it at Wally World, but if you've got any hockey playing friends they're bound to have rolls of it.
Keep up the good work.
Jack~
