SS Officer Converted M43 Tunic

[NickG]

Some might go......Others might say ..........but it was inexpensive (after being exposed) so I was just having fun with it
(as a blank canvas) and came up with this impression!
(won't fool any for it to be an untouched original of course...besides CT mostly original parts...found a saltier Croat shield too)

Nick, did you buy it from Matt Murray?

Yes I did....shortly after the thread revealed it was a "put together"...
so I rebuilt it after buying it stripped from him.

NickG, You're a legend. You really have a knack on this and I salute you!
I would love to see more of your "resurrected" uniform and insignias collection in a dedicated thread!


Cheers,

This, the SS lab coat and the self-authenticating Mengele passport are some of my all-time favorites. What a crock of Shiite...

Thats a funny looking tunic.
Its only missing a sausage hanging out of the lower pocket and a parking ticket book for a ski lift mountain.

I'd probably add some sort of ribbons to the button-hole and maybe a sports or HJ badge (shiny golden one of course)...or both

German Cross in GOld with Diamond would also look great on this piece...now that I think of it...

tunic

It needs an additional cuff title like kreigsberichet and some spiess stripes!!

[kammo man]

If someone has a hot glue gun it could get some sparkle fringing along the arm seams added.

[kammo man]

Well the tunic is a train wreck so here’s a starter pack to cheer it up and add some pa zazzzzzzz
Let’s get to work guys and have a decorator party.
All that needs to be done is simply apply over the horrible already added junk.
