hi guys,another one BWB for ID ,any opinions are welcome :)
I mostly collect genuine german helmets ,but the only repro iv got is a german para with cover ,and i added the decals.i actually like it.i find the quality, and attention to detail excellent.its in a sand colour and reminds me what the helmets used to look like fresh out of the factorys in germany.iv no intention of distressing it.the standard repro m35/42 and m16 look a little tacky to me ,and hold no interest for me.i was wondering what you thought about the odd obvious repro in you collecetion/would you ahve one?
G'day Guys
I haven't seen too many swords in this category!
Anybody have examples to show of the Carl Eickhorn Field Marshal series, I believe this is a "Zieten" no.1734?
Is this a genuine one and if so, is it a common model?
And it's value?
Thanks in advance
René

Hey gang...Well - here's another first for me....and I know what's what here!
It's a Quist made M16 (Q66) with a repro liner. Also came with the repro chinstrap but I took it off....Priced accordingly given the leather but I'm really happy with the paint job on this one. I think it looks really cool and it's not the regular swirl pattern but rather a chunky "block" pattern that looks really neat. Soldier did a good job on this one.
I really like it and I'm happy to have it added to the collection. I think it looks even better in person!
Cheers!
Rob
PS....wish I could have taken better pics - but it's been cloudy and rainy for three days with no end in sight.....
As promised some pics of my tamiya tiger its not finished yet got some more details to go on inside of the front hatchs and some ods and sods of stowage to go on. ive fitted the correct conical ariel and hindges to front hatches so they now open its standard internals except a tirnigy servo speed regulator fitted inline with the throttle to smooth out the jirky movements
Thanks for looking Jim ps lets see your rc tanks cool militaria
