Hello there. My name is Jason just joined your forum today, I am based in the UK. I got interested in WW2 since I was 7 years old, thanks to my late Grandfather. I like airsoft, although, I have never been in a airsoft skirmish, but I do own two airsoft guns (AK47 folding stock & K98) I am into re-enacting, I have been doing WW2 German re-ecnactment for 13 years, started off in the Waffen-SS (12th SS Hitlerjugend), then been part of the SS-Feldgendarmerie. Also joined the Fallschirmjager, in which we trained for our static line parachute jump in the Czech Republic, done the jump from 800 meters in full uniform, in an old Soviet airplane (It looked like it was gonna crash before take off). I am also interested in Vietnam War re-enactment, currently with MACV-SOG, playing the part of a Montagnard. My Favourite colours are blue and red. I like women (Blondes, brunnettes, redheads). ;D ;D ;D Attachments:

Greetings, nickname's NoL,i just joined up a few days ago, thanks to an invitation from drunkpunk. I got interested in wwII because of my dad, he had this 6 volume wwII history by Purnell, a weekly magazine which he hard bound. Im mostly a german buff, again because my dad described them like Gods and immortals when we watched wwII movies. Because he took us to Nigeria, Africa to study, my toys were mostly made in england matchbox,dinky and corgi military vehicles which were plentiful there( i still have them- ie: battle kings by matchbox) Of course, to continue the tradition, i built 1/35 german armour during my college years(i still do). Unfortunately, im a newbie in airsoft, and the closest thing that i have to vintage wwII stuff or an airsoft replica is a china made plastic spring bolt action MP41 ;D Since im losing patience in painting 1/35 german soldiers, i have shifted to 1/6 germans, and im now near to getting confined to rehab due to this addicting hobby! When im not buying anything related to my hobby, i tinker with my 1981 mitsubishi colt which was salvaged from the ravages of ondoy(and it still smells like the mud from ondoy). Thats about it, good day to every one  |

Hello! I thought it was rude to be browsing the site for so long and not talking so here I am! I mostly play US airborne but I do occasionally dig out my Volkssturm kit and I'm always adding to both to get a decent Heer and Basic US GI loadout.   I realise I may not get to play on the same field as most of you guys any time soon but I always tend to come here to look at the kickass loadouts and fantastic weapons on show and hope I can give something back. |

Welcome to our humble home! It's funny how we all come across each other in different forums. Just like meeting old friends on the street. |

Thanks for the kind welcome! I've added a lot to those since the photos were taken (various webbing additions, a full winter overcoat loadout for US paratrooper and a more ragged Volkssturm civilian kit) along with expanding the weapons locker. Being a props guy I do tend to occasionally run off a few of the more unusual items of kit (Luminous discs, combat knives, eureka beacons, mortar rounds etc.) every once in a while so I'll keep you all in mind next time I do a run!
