    Ah great sets!
    Well heres mine, a m36/40 tunic, with fieldgear, the belt is swedish, i ordered a german but it got lost in the mail, the helmet has been repainted.
    Straps are mostly fake (Ordered a messtin strap for the messtin, but got lost to)
    The ww1 pouche shall be replaced and i will get insignia for the uniform.
    Dont be to harsch, iam only 14 years old.
    My next target will be a mg gunner set when Iam done with the infantery set
    If anyone would have any questions, just to ask and ill do my best to answer
    Small story first: The waterbottle and the ww2 k98 pouche are from Poland, and where lying at the battlefield (would guess in a bunker or so) where they first used Köningstiger on the eastern front, and where lying there for a long time, so they belong togheter.

      Lasse,
      you have the beginnings of a nice set. Some worn insignia applied to the tunic will lift it to a whole new level. Time is on your side on this one, keep at it, and before long you'll be amazed at what you manage to aquire.

      Good luck!

      Patrick.

        Words like that always feel good for the young collectors(and maybe older collectors to? )

              looking good

              Patrick your flak gunners looking well , a burlap helmet net and a field division combat jacket would finnish it off to perfection.

                  Hi Sean,yes, the netting is G.I. and its use was widespread throughout the entire Italian Campaign and even before, during the closing stage of the African one in Tunisia!The M24s held together by the zelt rope is a detail taken from a picture of a German machine gunner at Salerno.

                  Alamein?.....Tunisia?.......Normandy?....Cavalaire ?...Gothic Line?

                      I personally like the mannequins dressed in full field gear with beautifully applied eyeliner and such!

                      In all honesty, great looking stuff guys and keep up the good work Lasse!

                        Its a german ww1 ammo pouche used by the finnish (I actully got 2 of those)
                        It got some markings on the inside of the flaps, but i cant really make it out unfortenly.
                        But it will be replaced by another ww2 when the time is right

                        Thanks for all the comments!

                              Don't have much fieldgear...in fact this is my only complete set-up ( minus the gasmaskcanister, which is stored away). I purchased this mannequin a few weeks back from the famous Pintus-company...
