@ Sir Jimmi: Please do tell me when you'll order again. I want to get the mp40 leather sling from allmadeups.
Guys, just one question. Where are we going to get the web belt?

Got my DAK boots from Ner, my breeches from Jun ray, and my DAK insignia from hiki all today. Though i haven't attached the DAK insignia to my tunic yet, here's the initial impression... All my field gear is continental, except for the Y-strap...patches are still continental. The helmet is the fiberglass one from jnmodeller. The boots Ner made are excellent. The flash makes em look a little funny but the color is great in person. I opted for rubber soles instead of hobnails for comfort and practicality. Here they are with junray's breeches. The fabric is almost a perfect color match with my repro tunic. It is a little shiny but junray says that the shine will disappear once it is hand washed (he showed me a washed sample). The best part is that i can use these also for PS and Russian impressions.

i think it will be made to order style, cnt just make several sizes, its difficult to determine which size has more demand.

Nice weathering job Doc. Very convincing indeed. Next thing would be to get the gloss out of your uniform, its very shiney
