So, I met the guys on Dec 6 wearing an ill fitting bundeswehr tropical jacket, cargo pants, north face hiking shoes, indian MP 40 mags on a civilian belt and my trusty AGM mp40. And here i am on January 2 with kamuning made feldgrau pants (i seldom wear the tunic in case european players might get offended), local gaiters (thanks panzer and waffen), hikishop smock, my dad's steel cap workboots (heavy), hikishop einheitsmutze in oakleaf 2, MP 44 pouches and tropical suspenders from allmadeups, belt, buckle and tropical breadbag from hiki, MP 44 from bodega mall (P4500.00 woohooo) and K98 strap from allmadeups. I am one happy camper. Thanks to everyone who helped me put this impression together. Please excuse the green t shirt, non dienstbrille glasses and non regulation smirk and long hair this was a quick shot taken between games...i couldn't help myself.

Looks great, labrador! I started out like this: hahaha! The only thing i like about my 1st attempt was how much thinner i was.

That looks great sir!
I'm having some progress too. Now I have as my gear an M35 helmet, the summer M36 tunic and M37 trousers, leather EM belt with Heer buckle and canvas Y Straps. Looks half decent, unlike my previous kit (I was only saved by the splittermuster-31 smock Sir Dan lent me).
I'd probably try to get my hands on some pouches and find a cheap bread bag (preferably here in the Philippines; I don't really like to order online because of the shipping and customs fees, plus the chance of the product being lost, etc). I'll also try to save up for custom made lowboots and gaiters. But for now, I'm quite content.

I'm planning to copy my breadbag locally with modifications to make a late war type. so don't worry. Locally made breadbags should be available quite soon.

You're always welcome Herr Albert. I also started years back using the Bundeswehr Flecktarn, M35 stahlhelm, SS runes collar patch, and an AK47. Now after 2009, here's my latest SS loadout. ;D

I'm going over to the darkside next and doing Soviet. I ordered (4) helmets and received them yesterday. I'm not finding much information on Russian uniforms and gear and I even looked for books on the subject. Very slim pickings. My youngest pup modelled one for me, I asked her to look mean. Hehehehe
