Xmas present ( on WW2...)

The BBQ table was the only thing I could find big enough to quickly display this very heavy model...it'll move to a more permanent position shortly.....

Carl with a new Digi camera....? Methinks we're about to be seeing some interesting things on the Forum !

 

oh geez C with a camera now folks watch the Militaria forum grow but huge leaps.

Martin glad you have room I was actually throwing out some pretty well used WW 2 type mags from back in the early 1980's, more indling for the fire than useable goods, the weather had tainted them along with the typcial mositure of years of packing......have to make way for Dr. Boitens monster for this summer, you'll be lucky Martin in England as you will be the first to see it, me, well maybe 2-3 months later ........... grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

 

Well, only 1 WW2 related pressie this year but worth it's weight in gold. My brother gave me a commando comic omnibus! "The 12 toughest commando comics EVER!!"

I've almost finished it, fantastic stuff!

 

I got two shirts for work that I will never wear (they've got pink in them, not my style) and two books, only one of which is WWII related. Forget its title, though its about 11 Days of Winter in Bastogne during Christmas.

 

Martin-You won't by any chance know where that Tiger was purchased, I'm saving up for just that sort of thing.

 

Oh! i almost forgot! my father gave me several WWII letters that he acquired when he used to collect stamps, and a very nice guy on this very forum sent me a copy of Dunkirk!! What a genorous gift!!

 

Beautiful MG and I'm very jealous of the Tiger Martin, fantastic stuff!

 

I made a few additions to my collection. They came today but I guess you can call them gifts!

All are originals (refurbished), although the liner in the brown Mark II is a repro, the OD Mark II is missing a liner all together. The Ssh-39 is a post war issue.

 

Giv me your wifes phone number!!

 

A few days ago my grandfather give me this for christmas. It's a Lee-Enfield that was found about 10 years ago here in my hometown.
Also some other small stuff.

 

Nice,

Mine is a book "Der Zweite Weltkrieg" my father bough it in Germany when visiting family.

 

I love your present Martin ! Just out of idle curiosity on the last picture there is a glass jar that looks like it is full of rocks, what is that ??

 

Hi Martin, yessir, and im going to start studying the owners manuel tonight. Also, I just went to Best Buy this afternoon and bought another disk for it. I forgot the details but, it's one that will hold lots of photos. Sure beats out the Advantix Camera I have.

 

Thanks for the compliments Gents but, my collection really aint THAT big ;-)) yet!

Anyway, it will give me a chance to "test" a few folks here in some areas-dealing with some of the stuff I do have.

Im not sure yet what I should do first? concentrate on posting some photos of photos or, the militaria?

 

I had to go downstairs and look.......it's a jar of chocolate truffles given by one of our Christmas Day guests.....

 

Well, it's already over a week ago..........but my TIGER remains to be put on permanent display .

And yes, you can have good fun with one of those digital cameras...!

 

My wife purchased the "Victory at Sea" DVD collection, John Wayne war movie collection and an offshoot DVD "World War II: The German Front".
